Bedtime WTF Awards – Fantasy Edition

Fantasy Football. Those two words can bring a tear to your eye, for numerous reasons.  Maybe it’s a tear of joy, because your team kills it for the week, or because  that dude you took a flyer on off of the waiver wire has a career game and amasses a ton of points.

Can’t Knock The Hustle

One skill that I get to work on a lot at home is negotiation.
