Five tips to surviving the recession job cuts

70 days ago by Noman Ali

They’re saying the worst of the recession is over and by the end of 2009 things will start to look up again. I don’t know. I’m no financial analyst, and I don’t much know how these things really work, although my investment banking friends who I frequently meet for drinks wouldn’t be able to tell, [ ...

How to Look Busy at Work

154 days ago by Erik Even

If you’re at work, you should be working. BWA HA HA just kidding. Apart from certain important personal matters that may have to be dealt with at work (making doctor’s appointment, dealing with your bank/cable company/phone provider), there are times you won’t be busy, if for no other reason that yo ...

Stupid economy. How I hate you.

161 days ago by Dawn-Marie

Last month, when I decided to quit, the news was saying the job market was improving, or at least, failing less hard. Now they're not. I'm kinda terrified of being unemployed now. On the other hand, I know that continuing to fight my circadian rhythm is going to make me increasingly sick and depress ...

Back, you demons of despair!

189 days ago by Dawn-Marie

Not doing so well with the whole morning thing lately. I feel obscurely disappointed in myself, both that I can't manage to be a functional human being who wakes up on time for work, and that waking up on time for work (by my standards - I take a long time to get warmed up to the day) currently woul ...

I had my first CSA pickup yesterday: spinach, baby bok choy, and two different kinds of radishes. My lunch salad was delicious! I am enjoying the idea of eating local food. So far, I have sourced: Vegetables: my CSA and the local farmer's markets. This is easy in the summer/fall. Bread: farmer's mar ...
