    It could be a good site, who knows, but completely off-putting that you put fake positive comments from sock puppet accounts. Slimy.

    Why don't you put in earplugs? The whole problem with offices for me is its rude to do so. At home no problem. I find if I do it even for a while I feel 'relieved' enough from the …
