Here's why I asked for too much.
Let's say I make $10/hr currently (this is hypothetical).
I sent an email to a guy I know who does this kind of work (design research, basically), and he said the range for this kind of work starts at 3x what I m…
Uggggggggh. I got an interview for the above job. I interviewed. It went SO. WELL. It's project-based and it's the kind of work I've been wanting to do for a LONG TIME. It was perfect - I could work with them on this project and get great experi…
I think your only option is to make your insurance take care of it for you. They SHOULD take care of it for you. It's their job. If you need a REAL BULLY who actually enjoys being a bully and is also really smart about insurance stuff, I could as…
I applied for a job this morning. The job posting opens with these lines:
"Are you interested in cutting edge innovation that drives behavior change? Do you like dogs and fresh coffee?"
Could this be anymore perfect? I LOVE DOGS AND COFFEE!
First of all, YT: I think you do lots of cool shit.
Secondly, as evidenced by this thread, we are all so solidly in our THIRTIES. Hearing about your lists makes me feel a little more okay with mine.
Wanda: let's plan our own summer trip!
YT: I w…
Also, if you are a (fill in the blank) and want to teach kids, my friends over at Saturday Academy are always looking for people to propose/teach after school classes. Hit me up for insider info.
Oh god! I love mia nolting! I just got myself into a dinner engagement tonight, though. Man. I'm torn.
Mental health product is so cheesy! I don't even want to tell you. But I will. It's "feeling words." Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want. But …
Oh my gosh Wanda are you for real? Don't get my hopes up if you're not serious!
Ooh, but the month of departure is September. Does that make it impossible for you because of school schedule?
So far, arijkem wins the coolest list award.
Ok, I'm also working on:
-co-creating a mental health/goal setting website
-human-centered design training through IDEO/acumen (who wants to be on my design team?) - actually, this hasn't started yet. …
Someone buy arijkem and KMikey's house!
I'd like to point out that I knew their house was for sale before they did.
(Actually, that is a lie. But I did send them an email today making sure they were aware of it. They were.)
There are some really serious EARS at the Humane Society right now!

All that being said, I REALLY like the look of this house and it's in a cool neighborhood (I would not have thought the neighborhood was that cool until I, myself, moved close to it).

I know! I think Bill Mc was referring to his past dog, Tess, who was also unbelievably amazing. But our current dummy was in various pounds for 2+ years and was only saved because some lady outside of Salem who runs a DIY husky rescue took him in.…
I suggest everyone contact YT (or this writer), and NOT Bill Mc, for dog adoption advice. It is true that Bill Mc has an uncanny ability to select the best dogs on the planet (2 for 2 now!), but he also is in the very lucky position of being partne…
Can you even imagine being a single mom or dad with house, job, and like 3 children? It boggles my mind. How on earth. Yet there are so many out there, right?
