Take The Good With The Bad Or Take Nothing At All

Mixed blessings are the way of my world.

Job Seeking In The Modern Age

The downside to applying for jobs online is that you find yourself leaping out of your skin every time your mail notifier makes a noise.

Europe Is To The USA As The USA Is To Mexico

The record-setting low value of the USD is cause for many international travelers to flock to our shores even though one must wonder what sort of vacation there is to be had in a country whose economy is in the gutter.

The Bleeding

My first experience as a Feature Film extra has left me with decidedly mixed feelings but at least my wallet is a bit more full because of it.

I am the empress of mixed blessings.
