‪A ship engine failed but no one could fix it, so they brought in a very experienced man.‬ ‪He inspected the engine very carefully.‬ ‪After looking things over, the guy pulled out a hammer.‬ ‪He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine burst back into life.‬

‪The owner was given a bill for $1,000,000.‬

‪The invoice said:‬
‪Tapping with a hammer: $5‬
‪Knowing where to tap: $999,995‬

In response, the owner murdered the man with a hammer.

‪Moral: Hammers rule.

I love my fiancé and we’ve been together for 5+ years but I don’t enjoy the company of their family. A few reasons include: homophobia, rude MIL, and recently their brother invading my physical boundaries/resulting in giving me creeps.

The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby.

Hey everyone, I need some advise. I've been interviewing for a company for the last 4weeks. The salary was originally discussed as (say Xk) but the recruiter I'm working with said today that they "realigned the goals" and brought the salary down to (Xk-10). I wasn't even okaay with Xk tbh, and now they've gone ahead and reduced it by 10k! I'm attending the final round on Friday - do y'all have any tips on how I can negotiate my salary to X+10 and let them know that this is highly unprofessional?
