Our laminate table has a chipped front edge that catches on sleeves. The rest of the surface is fine, so replacing the table for a thumb-sized defect seems wasteful. I could fill and color-match the chip, then seal it, b...
A recruiter called about a role but wouldn't share a salary range before asking for my current pay and the minimum I'd accept. I don't want to waste either of our time, yet anchoring the conversation to my present salary...
