This was my first full week at my new job. Don’t worry - I’ll come up with a nickname for it soon enough. To quote an email I sent out to various folks on Tuesday night:
“In the five days I’ve worked there, I’ve came home for lunch three of those days. The first day I [...]

If you’re ever job hunting, I’m gonna give you some tips:

Get a new email address. Nobody wants to see the email address cuuutie_pie333@hotmail.com and then find out it belongs to a 42 year old man.
Don’t be an asshole when you’re calling to ask about a job. Rest assured, the place you’re calling has caller ID [...]

First off, I started a new blog, one where I can write all about work and write all about other things without it being attached to my name. Except for the whole domain registration thing, but I don’t care. It’s all good for now. I’ll still be posting here all the time, because how could [...]

I started a new job today. And, sure, I was only there for eight hours, but man - it was super awesome. It’s an industry that I have absolutely zero experience in, but I’m very, very excited to learn more about it. I’m pretty sure (like 99.7% sure) it’s the absolute most perfect fit for [...]

Now that I’ve told my grandma about this, I can tell the internet:
Things have taken a bit of a dramatic turn on the employment front since we talked just a few days ago. The CEO interview I mentioned the other day apparently kicked pretty good ass, because they offered me a job today. After comparing [...]

And while I know it’s spring and all that jazz, I didn’t realize that birds were awake this time of morning, having what seems to [...]

Don’t forget to sign up for Revolution Money Exchange, if you want $25 in your bank account in 2-3 business days. Here’s the original post I made. Jenni sent me some money the other day for some baseball tickets I picked up and it worked like a charm.
Rick’s going to be here next week for [...]

It is official; I will join the working masses, dressed in business casual clothing on Monday the 28th. This clearly means I need to buy some more black socks. This is all, of course, pending the outcome of a drug test, but since the last time I freebased crack cocaine was four months ago, I [...]

For some reason, I didn’t hear my phone ring about 4:30ish today, and in fact, the call went straight to voicemail. I’m not entirely sure it did that come to think of it, because I definitely wasn’t on the phone. In any case, I was sitting all alone in Jenni’s apartment (that sounds so creepy [...]

I’m in sales. I didn’t exactly want to ever be in sales, but once someone puts you in a role, I think it’s impossible to go back. So, now I’m a salesperson. Done deal.
My old boss, Mark, who was the best boss I’ve ever, ever had told me on several occasions that he knew I [...]
