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, [ ...

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 ...

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 ...

There is this strange phenomenon on the Ranch that makes you feel like you’re always supposed to be doing something. If you ever sit around too long, this ominous presence appears behind your shoulder and drives you into action, even if it’s the slightly arbitrary variety. On the plus side, it makes ...

I think the coffee here is hyper-caffeinated. I've had my standard two cups, and I am feeling shaky and jittery. At work I have few outlets for this energy, and I will doubtless crash by lunch. Wish I could pull out the laptop and game until I settle down a bit.

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 ...

The major reason I hate the whole resume/cover letter process is because the last several jobs I have had have fallen into my lap through unconventional means. Wait, let me think; there is the possibility I have *never* gotten a job through the "1)Submit resume & cover letter to anonymous hiring man ...
