  • "As I can personally attest, there's a good reason that fewer young Americans are pursuing careers in the sciences: the jobs suck."

  • "The best recruiting department in the world can't make people want to work at a company that's moribund."

  • "No one was particularly happy when I told them I found a vintage wedding dress for $40.

I had never particularly dreamed of zeros flying out my bank account as if they were bubbles."

  • Win yourself a free nice Mac keyboard. (Disclaimer: if you use that link and win, I win one too.) Enter by tomorrow, Father's Day.
