My first world problems

September 7, 2011

As you can probably tell, I’ve been a bit busy lately. Yesterday, after a long day of work and school, I was complaining to Mr. B about how I don’t understand ANYTHING in class, from the moment the professor starts teaching, to the minute he finishes.  As a result, I am looking at notes like this that make zero sense: So I bitched to Mr. B for about half an hour in the car about how I was going to ...

Wearing engagement rings to interviews

August 23, 2011

Suzanne posted a link from Huffpo advising women not to wear engagement rings to interviews. To which I said, And trust me, I’ve interviewed A LOT over the past year. And to which people replied, basically, “Don’t give other people a reason to judge you.” Although there was one HR pro that said she didn’t give a crap. But is this really a problem?  Honestly?

April 5, 2011

So, in preparation for possibly-maybe-our new house at the end of the month (if nothing goes wrong, tfu, tfu, tfu, knock on wood, eat a chicken bone and whatever the hell it is you do to stop from believing in the pit of your stomach that you will never, ever be a homeowner), I’ve been researching why men need to carry women over the threshold of their new house.
