    We have this new guy on our team whom the boss is developing a bromance with. The new guy is better at some things I do. I feel threatened but don't know how to deal with this. Help.

    Can someone recommend a *competent* dry cleaner in downtown Boston?

    (x-posted from that other forum) I live in the uncivilized parts of Metro West Boston. Nary a decent dry cleaner to trust my fine shirts and suits to. The last establishment I used (purple and white logo, name begins with the letter "Z") pressed too aggressively on the chest piece of my jacket...

    We're all f*****. Agree or disagree?

    My life is fucked and I don't see any way out. If your selling me hopium. then you're trying to blow sunshine up ******. There's no hope, there's only failure and pain. The suffering doesn't end until you die.

    I need a new laptop bag

    My new Dell XPS 15" no longer fits the bag I got a few years ago. I currently have a ballistic nylon bag that screams "IT NERD". I want something a bit more stylish. Something that looks good when wearing a suit or other tailored clothing and is not something an IT nerd would carry on his way to...

    Tired of being a weak-sack job candidate

    I need to dominate and win a job offer. What aggressive tactics can be used to get a job offer? I need some sort of Jedi mind trick training that will convince hiring managers that I'm the only man for them. I'm desperate. I try anything that can secure a job in this crap economy. I'm tired of...

    zOMFG It's the Libyans!!!

    Jebus, it's brutal out there for a retail investor. I had to liquidate EMC, RAX, and all my Vanguard index ETFs to protect my profits. I've bought up as much oil stocks as I possibly can but looking for other defensive plays. What other sectors do well when the sh*t hits the fan?

    Woah, CSCO

    Cisco Systems (CSCO) dropped rock yesterday, losing 3.12 points. The 3.12 point loss was due to John Chambers' statements during the Q2 2011 Earnings Conference Call. Chambers cited shrinking margins, loss of market share, and other factors contributing to the weaker outlook for the coming...

    Aquascutum Aqua5!

    Scored one today on eBay for $33. I'll have pics when the item arrives. What color hat and gloves would you pair a taupe Aquascutum Aqua5 trench coat with? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

    Hate the button-down collar with suits

    I hate the look. I know it's trad and all that (plus bag of chips). The button-down is a soft, casual collared shirt that more at home with a more casual look (tweed SP, odd jacket, under a sweater). Nothing spoils a spiffy well-cut suit, natty tie, stylish shoes with either a pinpoint or full...

    Better capital preservation investment ideas?

    I'm uncertain if bonds (corp and gov) are the best investments for capital preservation. Especially if your time horizon is less than 5 years (my case here). I've been tracking bond ETFs for a month and most are money losers. What would be a good capital preserving investment that has some...

    Is an MBA the fast track to a career in IT management

    I'm tired of being an IT grunt. I've been in IT long enough to have my own vision and sense of systems architecture. I can continue to be an IT grunt until I'm promoted but I'm wondering if an MBA or Master's in IT would be the fast track to a vertical move in IT. Or would getting an MBA be a...

    Won't suede shoes get trashed in New England winter weather?

    I'm growing an appreciation for suede shoes. However my concern is that they'll get trashed if I wear them on the streets of Boston during winter. Between the sand, salt, and slush, I'm worried that they'll look ugly and unwearable by spring. Can you per-suade me (ha-ha) into buying a pair of...

    If you inherited a sheet load of money...

    ... what would you do now that your net worth is more than what you made in salary in the past 4 years? Take a new career direction? Go on sabbatical?

    The ideal business casual shoe?

    After surveying my shoe wardrobe, I realize that nearly all the shoes I have are balmorals in either black or dark brown (save for the AE Maxfield in chili). Looking for something to bridge the business casual/casual gap. Looking for something that would look equally good with dark jeans as well...

    "Business Casual" is such a slipery slope...

    "Business Casual" is hard to pin down even for someone understands men's tailored clothing such as myself. What the heck is "business casual" anyways? There seems to be multiple competing paradigms yet no clear example of what this is. Example: I have a job interview tomorrow with an web-based...
