Face to face is going to get very expensive very fast. It can get more expensive than you imagine. As I mentioned, the company I left is taking a huge hit. Opinions don’t stand up to reality in a changed world. No matter your past experienc

Back in the day I had a Nokia phone with StraightTalk. It has a flashlight, text, calls, and a few games. Battery lasted a week. I programmed my computer to send headlines and email subjects as texts. It was great.

"Vacation is accrued over the first year" and it turns out that means you can't take any vacation for a year. Benefits cost more than they would through the exchanges...and they get a kickback when employees do not use the in

My search engine and aggregator locserendipity.com has not gotten much traction despite many hours of work. Even so, I have learned a lot from working on it, including a working familiarity with multiple languages. I have also learned that
