NJM #1 - Interviewing in Utah
Hello. It’s that time of year again! How many years have we been NoJoMo-ing now? So, so many. Too many to count. But I do love November because it forces me to write. So, for the month of Novembe...

I just have to get this out. I’ve been working on the downlow on a job opportunity at a company where I used to work. I didn’t write about it for fear of jinxing it. It was just too perfect of a ...
That Survey
I gave in and did this survey to pass some time because I’m antsy about some things regarding work. I think my answers might be too detailed, but this was fun to do! Do you put ketchup on hot dog...
