Recently I have taken several steps towards adulthood. Not only did I join the ranks of middle-management and buy a dining table, I also stopped caring about the world at large. That means there’s little left for me to rant about.
As becoming an adult is one of my worst nightmares, I have compensated by buying [...]
It is almost the end of the year again and that means it’s not only time for absurd predictions about the year to come (we are all going to be happy and miserable and have hover cars), it is also time for New Year’s resolutions. Obviously, when it comes to self-improvement, there is no better time [...]
Today has been a bad day for bankers. Not because more countries have decided to tax their bonuses – so far only France have gone this route and bonuses are based on productivity, so this should not have any serious effects.
