How May I Not Assist You Today?
Shortly after finishing grad school I worked at a start-up company that provided concierge services to shopping malls. The owner of the company thought it was important that all the office staff spend some time out at a concierge desk … Continue reading

Watch Your Step!
I had a little bit of Cat Drama yesterday morning. Helen was clinging so closely to my leg that I stepped on her tail. She went under a table for a while and I begged her to tell me if she … Continue reading
The Candidate
OK, so maybe I should have paid closer attention when I applied for the job. I definitely should have researched the organization before my phone interview. It probably would have been good if I remembered I had an interview. Hey, … Continue reading
