A lawyer once told me that he would not OPINE on the veracity of the claim that property owned abroad would be covered under a will if the owner passed away. In the very next sentence, he said that if I scheduled an appt with him at his going rate ($650/hr), he would be able to answer all...

On giving up for something better:
In the beginning, there was light…work. As a cashier at a donut shop during the graveyard shift, there are lots of opportunities to daydream about better entry level positions at McDonalds 🍟. While the cooks and the manager had more responsibilities, it seemed as though all of us ...
