Sukiyaki Daaaarn...with the 12% EVAT, dining out seems more of a pain than the joy it used to be. So if you tell me that there's a new place in town that's worth checking out, I am not gonna relate... unless you're picking up the tab.The one good thing that came out of higher taxes is that we get more motivated to try out new dishes at home in order to spare our wallet the agony, hence the advent of my dish for today, good ol' sukiyaki. ...

Lunacy is a two-way street
This week's edition of Blog-O-Rama features the wacky dudes behind The Man Blog. I know, the phrase "The Man Blog" is too generic for something that is wickedly funny, it hurts.

Performance evaluation for dummies
1. The rater's IQ need not be superior to the ratee. Proof is when your boss asks you to draft correspondence that she can very well write under English 101. 2. You must be in the wrong company when the really talented people get low grades and the ones who get high grades (with the equivalent one-month bonus to boot) are those who have mastered the art of geriatric nursing (e.g. wiping someone else's puny ass) ...
