I almost forgot the most important part of my day yesterday. Anyone who knows what I went through with my fucked up and poisoned management chain over at the blue bowl of serpents knows that I was mentally grated every time I put a word to a document. And it wasn’t like “edit this for [...]

That’s me folks. I’m trying really hard to not let the snot droop over my excitement about my interview today. I’m really excited, really really pumped. I’m trying to think of a word my sister in college would use (they use “bold” alot, and I slightly cringe, but it’s so fun to hear other age [...]

I just returned from my 2nd interview with company #2. It was awesome. These people are so down to earth, so easy going, and without any strange agendas as far as I can see. The tone and the environment is so open and friendly — and honestly open and friendly. I’m a good judge of [...]

Let’s see, last week… oh wait! That was this week. Yes, that’s right, this is the week that will never end. The longest week in December (except for when I start having to wrestle other nomads for the good spot over the subway grate). I thought that it might conclude on Wednesday, but alas, no [...]

I have to force myself not to put all of my eggs in one basket. You know, that’s kind of an archaic phrase. No one buys eggs and puts them in a basket for storage and no one wanders around the hen house with a basket to trundle their eggs around in either. So, what [...]
