It’s ok to lie, as long as you don’t get caught!

Yeah I know I just posted a few minutes ago, but I’m testing a caching plugin which seems to gag on itself every time I blog more than one post in an hour. So I shall bless you all now with another post in quick succession. :-D Since I’ve been applying for federal jobs lately,…

Merry Christmas, Here’s Your Ticket

Recently New York had just been ranked for being the unhappiest state in the country. My experience today could certainly tell you why.
