"We’ve decided to hire someone with totally different skills than yours…" and then they hire someone just like you, but more expensive and not as good. "We’re not going to buy a car this month, my husband wants to wait…"…
Falling in Love for the First Time
I almost killed both my kids yesterday by accident. Then, later, I had no money to pay for a meal we had already eaten. On [...]

We’re used to talking about the movie we just saw, tweeting the latest Charlie Sheen antic, and even promoting a client while on another engagement. But [...]
