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 [...]

I met with another recruiter this morning, as sort of a prep for an interview I have tomorrow afternoon. If having two recruiters is wrong… well, I don’t want to be right. They’re both super awesome in their own accord, and I’m just not telling either one of them about each other. Until one of [...]

I’ve found that an integral role in the whole interview process is not forgetting to send thank you notes. I do it via email. That may be ill-advised. But I also know that I’ve had the same Netflix movies in my possession since January, so clearly I don’t make it to the post office all [...]

It was kind of disappointing day for me last year when Franciso Liriano had to cut his season short due to an arm injury.  And despite pitching about as well as I could while rehabbing in the minors this winter and spring, someone in the Twins organization thought it’d be a good idea to bring [...]

I’m still unemployed. Which is kind of neat. And by kind of, I mean not at all. In any case, my sabbatical from the employment world has allowed me to do a lot of reading about stuff I never really had the time to read about while part of the working population.
Wikipedia’s been my friend [...]

I went grocery shopping last night. I’m not the proud owner of things like spinach and ricotta cheese. This is a big step up from my typical grocery store fare of Hot Pockets, Hamburger Helper, and tortilla chips. (To be fair, I did pick up one box of Hamburger Helper.) I’m very excited that I [...]

Remember how I got fired last year? A key character I forgot to mention in my brief stories of how it all went down was the HR Lady. I wish I could come up with a more creative name for her besides Absolutely Worthless Piece of Shit, but I can’t. So HR Lady it is.
Long, [...]

Man. It’s kind of a pain in the ass. Every day I wish there was this catalog I could just thumb through and find my ideal job, and then, sure! I’ll take that job on page 124, right below the one that talks about roller coaster operator.
Instead, there’s the digging through the five billion job [...]

My final day at my former employer (you know, Douchebags, Inc) was on October 12th. Due to rules that I completely understand, I wasn’t going to receive my final commission check until 11/26. It will come to no surprise that I tell you I didn’t receive it on said date. I heard from a little [...]

For the biggest part of today, I’ve spent my time scanning pictures from my mom’s and grandma’s photo albums. What a trip. I wish I would have had this idea almost a week ago when I rolled into town, because it’s gonna be awesome having copies of these pictures all to my own. As soon [...]
