The Language Instinct: How The Mind Creates Language Posted 09/11/2012
by Steven Pinker Not actually the first of Steven Pinker's works, this book is still the one that put him on the map and, as the previous two aren't in print and extremely expensive, I... [more]
  • I Hate College

    Fire! Posted 3/8/2011
    I'm just six short (short!?  what are you talking about!?) classes away from completing my masters degree.  I've been living the college experience for a very long time now, and I feel that it is th… [more]
  • I Am Depressed Because I'm Lonely

    In A Crowd Posted 3/8/2011
    I shouldn't feel lonely.  I mean, that's what any outsider would say.  After all, I live with my parents and my sister, and I have friends that I see on a regular basis.  How could I be lonely?… [more]
  • I Am An Mra

    Someone Asked A Question. Posted 8/1/2012
    That question was, "Remember the good old days when women were actual nurturers and not self involved, timewasting psychos?" What follows was my response, which I believe belongs here as well. … [more]
  • I Want to Improve the Experience Project

    For Example Posted 7/30/2012
    Now, I know I joined the not a Nazi group, but I may have to be a bit of a grammar Nazi, because it's atrocious. The grammar, that is. And the spelling. Seriously, even with the spellchecker, which … [more]
  • OMG I Can't Believe It

    I got called in for an interview by the Bank of New York!  They have a branch here and I might end up working as a Staff Accountant for them.  That is just so bloody awesome!  They are one of the oldest (if not the oldest) banks in the United States, so for me, as a starting accountant, this is a really big deal.… [more]

  • BNY Interview

    Posted on: August 1st, 2012 at 5:41PM

    Well that was exhausting.  There's some hope (just some) that I may be able to actually get this job, but I'm feeling that my interviewer really wants someone with a little more experience.  But, you can't always get what you want.  Like paid parking, for instance.Seriously, the job is for one of the largest banks in the country, but I either have to pay the $25 a day to park, or take public transportation, which doesn't actually exist where I live.  Still, I will cross that bridge if and when I get there.  Until then, I've just got to keep looking.… [more]

  • You have such an awesome resume!

    Posted on: August 3rd, 2012 at 6:00PM

    I hear this a lot.  I've heard this from recruiters who promised that I would be able to get  a job through them easily within two weeks (It has now been a month since my first interview with a recruiter, and they haven't gotten me so much as an interview).  I've hear it from people saying they wished they'd known of my existence nine months ago.  Of course, nine months ago I was working.  I've heard it from people who then followed it up with, "but you don't have enough experience."  Needless to say, hearing over and over again how I should have been picked up by now is not exactly conducive to confidence when the people saying it are turning you down.Yesterday, something new happened.  I w… [more]

  • I have such an awesome job!

    I'm working for a small CPA firm, and it's amazing.  Finally, doing the type of work I've been trained to do, working with the type of people who get that.  I'm having a blast.  Also passed FAR, my first CPA examination.  Prepping for Audit.  Wheeee!… [more]
