Best Way To Get Your Company To Fly You Around The World For Vacation.

1) Become a "journalist" for Business 2.0


Actually, I doubt they'll be hiring any journalists any time soon. They're going under:

Too bad, since I think they're one of the best business-tech magazines on the market. I just barely renewed my subscription, too. Bummer.


They're going out of business because they waste their budget flying people around the world drinking coffee, checking email, and getting haircuts.


Hey, you just can't learn some of this stuff:

"Service is always included and tipping can be taken as an insult, as if the recipient helped with the expectation of payment." (notes from the article, on culture in Helsinki, Finland)

without knowing of someone with or having, on your own, some real-world "in the field" experience. Something tells me it wouldn't be the best idea to accidentally or otherwise insult Finnish people. :)


That's hilariously off topic. "Where to get a trim?" Answer: At home, before you go to the airport.

It does remind me that anybody who would pay over 50 dollars for a haircut deserves a complimentary bullet put in their head to balance out their stupidity-exceeding-intelligence problem.
