The economy and me.

So without getting into the boring detail of what I do day-to-day, suffice it to say that my work (or recent lack thereof, as the case may be) is definitely market driven, and when it started becoming apparent to the mainstream press that the subprime debacle was going to serve as the trigger for not [...]

Work, in general, is a sucker’s bet.

Too many irons in the fire…

So my roommate and I totally lucked into a different apartment in NY and canceled our other one just in time to get our deposit back. As it turns out, a friend of a friend is planning on being out of town between May and August during almost exactly the same time that my roommate [...]

…

One of the places I’m volunteering this semester, and perhaps next year, is a local after school program that brings me in once a month after school to serve as sort of an “admissions counselor” for high school kids thinking ahead about college admissions. My group, I’ve been informed, is one of the larger ones [...]
