Hiring efficiently requires you to grow some calluses string things up.

Monday night I got an emergency kinship placement of two kids in my family. At 5 and 8 they'd be a handful even if they were NT. They are not.

Fortune cookies are somewhat unhinged ridiculous some days; it feels like it's adjitatiting about the hidden job market.
