		<description><![CDATA[What I am going to be talking about here is freedom. Not in the sense of Preserving Our Liberties and Fighting The Great Government Conspiracies, but the things that really impact our personal lives.
Not that government encroachment on our traditional liberty isn’t a worrying trend, and I may touch on it now and then, but [...]]]></description>

When looking at your rate of pay for the purpose of these calculations (or any similar figuring you might be doing on your own) don&#8217;t simply use your official rate [...]]]></description>

I know what I am.  I&#8217;m a dad.  No job, no career, will ever be more important than that.  Unfortunately, while very rewarding in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a school of though, which I have seen advocated on certain online forums, that no matter what your job is you should be willing to do anything your boss tells you.  For example, if you were a highly paid specialist engineer and your boss told you to make him some coffee and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t had a job since the end of 2000, when the Dot-Com I was working for dropped dead by the side of the road.
That sounds a lot worse than it really is.  I have a long history of making money that doesn&#8217;t come from an employer and after a few months of trying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The past several weeks have been very frustrating ones at work, not just for me but for one of my clients as well.  What with one thing and another I&#8217;ve been averaging six long days every week.  That&#8217;s a lot of time in front of computers.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a very interesting illustrated discussion of how people aren&#8217;t motivated by what most employers (and even many employees) think that they&#8217;re motivated by.
