A few days ago, I had a dream that I was interviewing myself. Or actually, I was interviewing / being interviewed by myselves. It is interesting that I dreamed this up, I didn't know my mind really worked that way.
One self was dressed in a suit. He projected this feeling of excitement over the opportunities that I was getting. I also felt his ( Read more... )

I thought this was an interesting and true article about how top universities in the US choose their students.  I was surprised by the statistics it offered on the number of "legacy" spots these colleges held open for under-performing children of alumni.  When it talked about all the programs that seem like harmless scholarships but are really ( Read more... )

Also, here are some annoying "I have too much money for my sanity" quotes from this week I thought I would share:

You cannot "grow" the economy, goddamnit! Stop being a dumbass and just resign!

Before I left work tonight, I decided to use the restroom real quick. As I walked in, I was listening to my MP3 player, and I decided to keep it on while I was in there. This is good for two reasons, 1) because you can listen to your favorite music while you pee, and 2) for a guy, it helps you avoid those really annoying people who want to talk ( Read more... )

So I had been noticing for the past 10 or so days that I seemed to keep waking up to somebody's car alarm going off. I thought maybe there was an epidemic of car thefts or something, and I was glad I didn't have a car myself. However, I have slowly come to realize that I have no reason to be happy about my car not getting stolen. In fact, I ( Read more... )

Fun fact learned of the day: the federal government now regulates the sale of cough syrup; you have to be over 18 to buy it(?).
