I figured it was working remotely and traveling wherever you want, working in the morning and vacationing in the evening.

can you help me formulate an answer to a colleague who is not my boss but feels entitled to tell me how I have to work?

the colleague in question feels that only her way of doing things is the right one and expects me to adapt to her way of thinking and her logic.

You’re just below the curve of home computers becoming ubiquitous. I’m 43, and through most of middle school papers had to be handwritten in cursive.

I have encountered a fe-MAA-leh in the wild. Also a Darealest and Dacoldest (brothers), and I saw a sign from the hospital listing a new baby named “Yahansum Guy”

After about an hour, someone would figure out how to get the bumper cars out of the arena and there’d be a death match by the trash hole.
