Da deadness

It’s begining to look a lot like... my yuppie degree

So it's official: I found some school sucker enough to accept me for an evening MBA program, & I've sent in the paperwork to accept their invitation. Thus, come fall, I will join all sorts of yupp...

Nothin’ like more work stuff

And an aside to complain about...

... flying candidates out to interview for an opening we have, just to spend my whole day listening to them slowly talk themselves downhill all the way out of being hired. It's like setting my day on ...

One more off the life-list

I’ve eating corn dogs with sriracha

The worst part about Sunday night in Nashua, New Hampshire

...and now that I can finally sit down...
