Leaving New York, $1500 Poorer

So what started out as a $20 oil change eventually turned into a $1500 job to fix my car. I stumbled out of the dealership, pale white and in a daze, wondering if this is what it must have felt like to have the life force vacu-sucked out of you by The Mummy, right before…

Back at my job, and doing my best to avoid all work!

So I’ve been back at work since yesterday, and well, this sucks. What’s weird is that I would come in, and after a few hours I would just feel completely drained, like something in the air was sucking the life force out of me. I’m not imagining it either, almost didn’t go on vacation in…

Remembering my own personal recession

With all the news about the economy being in the toilet and people left and right losing their jobs (and unable to find new ones), I’m reminded of the personal recession I once experienced shortly after I graduated college, waaaaaay back in ’98. I had just wrapped up my undergraduate “career” and finished with a…
