Last weekend I moved everything around, disconnected and connected everything, and tied it all up real pretty-like.

Day before yesterday I look at the paper, it says “High: 81°F”. It’s a little overcast, but that happens a lot, and it burns off by mid-morning. Fat chance. If it got above 65°F, I’ll eat that newspaper. I was freezing all day. I should be grateful. Poor LA-the-sage is hot. I could be in [...]

This has led to many employers listing the “essential functions” of a position as part of the job description. My previous employer listed the essential [...]

I need advice. An organization creates a website, using some sort of goofy software. It looks fine to the (non-technical) person who created it. When I look at it, the text and headings are all superimposed on one another, making it impossible to read. Turning CSS off doesn’t fix it; everything is absolutely positioned. I [...]
