Good
not to be an analyst. No PR flacks trying to influence me to say nice things
about their clients. That shit got old.
I try not to stress the order of execution of work
tasks. Stuff gets done or not done in various orders, some of it slapdash
hook-or-crook.
My tactic is to refuse no reasonable requests. Best to
try practically anything. No telling what I'll go for.

Married people wealthier on average than single people?
Really? Two incomes produce higher household net worth than one? Show me the
