Silent Treatment

by | 11 Oct 2013

We have a comedian at our workplace. One day, during the beginning of my carrier in this place, I asked him if I could check my e-mail from my work computer. He responded, “Go crazy, just keep the pants on”. I didn’t laugh, so he said it again. I just smiled and went back to my computer.

Making Money Using Laws

I am astonished to see that NY DMV fined me $130 ($50 fine + $80 Surcharge) for failing to show current insurance proof. I had both current and old insurance proofs in the same envelope because the new insurance proof comes long before the old one expires. By mistake,...

Identity Theft

Telework

In our agency, employees are required to come to office only once in a week, so that their computer can get updates from the agency network. Rest of the days they are allowed to work from remote locations (home, hotel, etc.) which is called telework. I think 1/2 days...
