You know that Seinfeld episode.
The one where George gets a customized office desk for taking naps during the day?
I love that episode.
My favorite part is when “George Steinbrenner” calls in the bomb squad (after Jerry calls in a bomb threat) only to discover George’s “empty calories and male curiosity.” Continue reading

Law firms, among other businesses, are notorious for seeking non-partner candidates with experience within a range of years.
“1-4 years,” “5-8 years,” “with about 10 years of experience.”
Could placing a cap on the number of years of experience be part of a code for “we don’t want to hire old people”? Continue reading
