I got an interview for a position as an “entry level promotions coordinator.” I was a little suspicious but accepted the Zoom invite. The HR person I spoke to on the phone told me to dress to impress, so I put makeup on and a nice shirt and blazer. Right before my interview I looked…
Harvest Day!
It’s harvest day!! Today I will be harvesting my lettuce and spinach, all of which were grown in the garden. I call it my garden because I am 99% responsible for this year’s gardening efforts, but it is in the garden at my parent’s house. We can call it a joint effort. (It’s totally my…
