I’ve applied to 22 jobs in the 3 weeks since leaving IOI. That seems like a pretty good rate to me. It’s been slow hearing back from people because it’s over the holidays- I’ve only received one rejection and one cryptic “you are on the...

Well, the time has come. I was finally let go from my small marketing company that I’ve worked at since June. It was never a good fit- I struggled mightily the whole 6 months I was there, and finally, on Monday, I was let go. It was mutual- I wasn’t doing...

I used to think autoethnographies were stupid and egotistical. Basically, it’s a scientific paper where you are the subject. Ego, right?But I’ve read some really interesting authnographies lately- including one about a black superintendent of a school...

My new employer is sending me a new computer (Mac) and new monitor, so I’ll have two monitors. My current monitor is old, so probably won’t fit into the dock they send. So I’ll have to buy a new monitor if I want to use 2 monitors. On the other hand,...
