“Dear PoPville,
Last year, I had a package stolen off my porch. They were able to find, arrest, and convict the thief, and I just got my letter in the mail saying that the thief has been sentenced to imprisonment for theft in the second degree. She had stolen some things worth under $50.
I know the AUSA called me a couple weeks ago to verify the total cost of the items because she said she was going to try to get restitution (though I never expected for restitution to ever be received, whether that was the sentence or not). The possible sentences are imprisonment of 180 days or less, or a fine of no more than $1,000, or both for theft in the second degree.
Everyone hates package thieves and cheers when they get arrested, but I’m curious about what people think is an appropriate punishment for them?”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
