It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young. ↗

Besides getting several paper cuts in the same day or receiving the news that someone in your family has betrayed you to your enemies, one of the most unpleasant experiences in life is a job interview. ↗
