If there is one thing in this world you can never buy enough of it’s time. One of the reasons I’ve always been so adamant about finding something I love to do with my life is the limited amount of time we’re given, and the amount most of us spend working so that we […]

Have you ever noticed that people become infinitely more interesting the more attractive they are? You take an average looking person and tell the world that they have a doctorate in philosophy and you start to wonder if they have a future. You take a model and announce that they have a doctorate in […]

Starting a new job reminds me a lot of the first day of school. The first day is always a bit like orientation, where you get to know the important things like where the bathrooms are and where everyone eats lunch.

While I was in college I worked in a restaurant where the entire staff, from management to bus staff, was really close knit. During business hours we did what we had to do, but at the end of the night everyone unwound over drinks at the bar. When my old manager moved to Vegas […]

I like to think I’m strong in my convictions, but there are definitely moments that force me to question my judgment. My willpower is kind of like an earthquake-proof building; although it can stand in the face of disaster, it definitely wavers a little to lessen the blow.

The strangest things can motivate you in a work environment. Unsatisfied in my current situation, I’ve found myself nostalgic for the silly inter-office rituals of my last job, doing underpaid bookkeeping. What kept me going is that I could be absentmindedly humming a song from Dreamgirls, and when I reached “Got me a Cadillac…” […]

One thing sets working in the arts apart from corporate America- alcohol is embraced as part of life. I realized this at the reading of a great play tonight, where although they were looking for funding, drinks for the audience and cast were still included in the budget.
Think about it- can you picture a […]

Will the hot water in my shower last long enough me to lather, rinse, and repeat without scalding my skin, causing me to jump backwards, and then shiver as I lose all heat and the water pressure dwindles to a trickle that would take a month to fill a teacup, inevitably leaving me with […]

Every once in a while you have “one of those days”. The fact that I can quote that phrase with full faith that you’ll understand what it means shows its universal nature.
It started with the fact that it’s bitterly cold outside. Even with a full length winter coat, scarf, and gloves, the wind was […]
