		<description><![CDATA[I try not to get too philosophical in this blog, but I found myself feeling that way when reading about the death this week of Irvine Robbins, one of the founders of the Baskin-Robbins chain of ice cream stores. He died in Rancho Mirage, California, at the ripe old age of 90.

		<description><![CDATA[Losing a job is always traumatic, and that’s why stories like this one in the Chicago Tribune—titled “Are you prepared if you lose your job?”—can serve as a good jolt for anyone who thinks that they are immune from the incessant layoffs, buyouts and cutbacks that seem to be a fact of life in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I worked in San Francisco during the wild and crazy dot-com boom of the late 1990s, and as crazy as things were then, the strangest thing that happened was having another employee’s paychecks deposited in my bank account—for three months in a row.
While this may sound like a good deal, someone always discovers such discrepancies—and [...]]]></description>
