My commute is about three steps from the kitchen door to my office chair. I do travel to clients some days but generally those three steps in peak hour traffic is more than enough
There's traffic at your place? Something like this?generally those three steps in peak hour traffic is more than enough
So I suppose my wife may have ruined my laptop while I’m at work today. She dumped a glass of green tea into it. A direct hit apparently.
Anyone have any suggestions? My laptop wasn’t anything great but it had a fucking terabyte of music on it and many family photos that I’m hoping were on the memory card stuck in the slot.

Yeah fuck that dipshit, lolA work colleague sent me a text yesterday asking for 300 dollars to help him pay back taxes for.....unpaid gambling winnings. Keep in mind, he owed 3,300 dollars total and had 3,000 in cash at the time he messaged me. Something didn't seem right..
I declined and inquired if maybe his mom or siblings could help him instead. I have the money to help him but I'm not going to enable his irresponsibility with legal obligations. While taxation may be theft, we are still required to file a return and pay what is owed to us. It really irritated me that he didn't report these winnings for 7 years and then he has to scramble for the money when the piper comes calling. I find it more disconcerting that he didn't ask his family first. His situation with his family is not strained so I'm not sure why he came to me first. I initially thought his phone was stolen and this was some kind of scam to get me to come somewhere and give him the money and then I get robbed or something.
I did learn though that the IRS can suspend your license if you don't pay back taxes.
My guess is partly switching costs (esp. risk of losing good people by moving outside their commute range) and partly competing for that pool of executive/senior talent that lives in the city and gets paid so damn much the rent differential is relatively inconsequential.It's too bad more companies don't locate in the suburbs- yes it's less accessible to a broader group of potential employees, but the employees you have can easily relocate due to lower real estate costs and an office park is surely a fuckton cheaper than renting out two floors of a downtown corporate office building. Hell, you can probably pay your employees a little less too since they are in a lower stress environment, more will live in houses instead of shitty apartments, etc.
Yeah fuck that dipshit, lol
but nobody really cares anywayin dallas area the DART system makes it actually easy for corporations to move to "suburbs"
some of these Fortune 500 companies are based in the "suburbs" instead of the actual city of Dallas
