Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

Unlike the major­ity of Amer­cians, I did not head back to the office after the Memo­r­ial day week­end. Well, not back to my office any­ways. Instead, I whipped out my inter­view suit1 and went to a job inter­view. It was a really good thing that I left early to get there as I got slightly […]
