Shuttles and Such

The Interview From Hell

I don’t usually blog about my professional career because of confidentiality.

House Hunting and Other Marital Joys

You know you’ve been living as a student for too long when you tell your real estate agent that your basic criteria for a house is 3 bedrooms, 2 bath with washer/dryer hook ups and a parking space. I actually said this this weekend and our agent laughed out loud at me. “Where [...]

Decision-Making 101
