To blog or not to blog
Welcome to Friday. It’s been a long week. I’ve been a day ahead since Monday. So today should really be Saturday but it’s not. I would shed a tear but I’m not that attached to specific days of the week considering everyday can be a Saturday when I’m not in contract work land. Earlier today [...]
When nothing isn’t good enough
Dealing my own cool hand
Yes, we do have Christmas in contract work land
I have a lot of time to think. Ask anyone who is unemployed for more than a week and they will agree that unemployment is like being married to yourself. I haven’t thought this much about my employment status, life, and the great meaning of things since I was an undergraduate in college and I [...]

Honesty: keeping it real with yourself
Stop hiding from insecurity and face it head on.
CYJ: customizing your job in a down market
I’ve been spending the better part of my morning deciding on whether or not my next pair of walk-around-the-city shoes will be Converse or Keds. It’s a big decision. Do I want high top Converse or slip-on Keds? Each have their own style and personality. I’ve always been more of a Converse kind of girl. [...]
