1. Apparently, I could be earning $200,000 as a support contractor in Hawaii. Maybe there's some truth to those Work From Home signs on the interstate off-ramps.

4. The people monitoring social media news feeds probably have an awful time finding a new TV show to watch that hasn't already been spoiled for them.
