    Flying first class and not coach, why?

    Hey guy, it's OK... that's why biz class with worthwhile. But, it is kinda off-putting when you get your plastic cup of ice with about 2 ounces of Diet Coke on your tray table, and the guy's scalp in front of you is hovering about 8 inches above your drink.

    Flying first class and not coach, why?

    Was once on the road in the middle of NY State with a couple of workmates, and we stopped at Ruby Tuesdays for a quick lunch. The menu had a "sirloin burger" for like $9.50, and an "angus sirloin burger" for a dollar more. The descriptions on the laminated menu were identical. So, I asked the...

    Look, college grad turns down 40K job.

    F*ck him... about 300 million equally or more qualified Indians will take the job for half of what the employer offered him, AND the Indians even know some math (which can kinda be helpful if you're and insurance adjuster).

    Disturbing Job Ads: 'The Unemployed Will Not Be Considered'

    Gonna make some generalizations here: Most HR people are lazy, so any excuse to cut down on resumes is good enough for them. If you give HR too much power and not enough oversight, then you get policies like this that are designed to make HR staffers jobs easier. Most companies of...

    SEC staffers watched porn as economy crashed

    I got a better question: If you get hired or promoted to replace one of these guys, do they at least give you a new keyboard and mouse?

    Why are living standards in the western world still far ahead of emerging countries?

    I was once standing by a rocky shore at a BBQ/cocktail party. Some people were chatting about how awesome the view was. One guy compares it to his native Greece, where he used to go fishing with his uncle when he was a child (like 40 years or so ago). He says how is uncle was an fabulous octopus...

    Why are living standards in the western world still far ahead of emerging countries?

    Which is interesting when you consider American history... When we had massive migrations of Italians (essentially later-day Romans), we got a lot more crime... from petty street crime to the mafia. But even today, for many Italian-Americans, the Sopranos-like culture is admired. So, the...

    Remember the guy that couldnt sell 1oz of gold for 50 bucks? He's back.
