Jobless and Only Kinda Depressed
Some people spend their lives chasing goals. They’ll achieve something great and move right on to other greatness. I’m not one of them. I’ve had so few goals in my life. I wanted to do well on my AP tests in high school, at least the ones I thought I could do well on. I wanted to get into my first choice college. It was the only one I applied to fully, so that worked out. I wanted to graduate in June of 2014 and when that wasn’t going to pan out, I decided eh, 2014 at all is good enough. Then, I wanted to buy a house. So finally, here I sit, in the house I own, with my degree dated 2014 from that first choice college that the AP credits didn’t even end up counting into because actually taking the classes is way easier than taking some hard ass tests.

Dealing with Difficult Co-workers
I've always heard about dealing with difficult people in the workplace, and I have had to deal with people that I thought were difficult, but never in my life have I ever dealt with someone that I thought had something totally against me. This was an entirely new experience for me. I've been lucky enough to work with people throughout my lifetime that have been pleasant.

I Love You, My Dear Career
Finding your career path should be the same as dating. Like we've come so far to improve the love department that we are able narrow down what we want in our potential life partner. Finding someone right for you isn't easy—like how they play it in the movies. Of course it's very simple to absorb what you see on TV and implement it to your real life. I guess you can say this is where we always go wrong. We observe what appears to be healthy and loving on the outside that we forget that movies have an end and the characters are portrayed by actors and second the couples we encounter in our everyday life are not going home with us every night. (I swear this ties in about career related things.)

To the Man Who Burst into My Workplace and Yelled at Me
To the man who burst into my workplace and yelled at me, I am sorry that you and your son were unhappy with the haircut that I gave him; however, I would simply ask that for one moment you stop and consider my side and what I experienced before you tear me down.

Purposeful Collaboration—How Inspirational Group Unity and Team Building Are Achieved in and out of Business Settings
For decades now, managers have been challenged on how to build team cohesion and group unity, and not just around work issues, but social issues in the workplace as well. Gone are the days when ruthless competition and pitting team members against each other was a methodology for motivation. “Purposeful Collaboration” is what is working in today’s world.

Reason First: Is Bill Gates the Most Selfish Altruist?
Briefly in 1999, William “Bill” Gates’ net worth surpassed the one hundred billion dollar mark. Now, 20 years later, he’s become a centibillionaire yet again. From his one percent ownership in Microsoft to Cascade Investments, Mr. Gates has amassed this great fortune due to his keen business mind. But he seemingly doesn’t care about all of the money. He is only behind Jeff Bezos in terms of wealth accumulation. But he still doesn’t care about that. He is a philanthropist who through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has given away tens of billions of dollars. This is not to aid the homeless in his home state of Washington, and in particular the city of Seattle, but people thousands of miles away in the jungles of Africa.

Customer Service
When it comes to getting good customer service, it's important to understand that efforts should be made on your part. Just as providing good customer service requires effort and patience, getting good customer service requires effort and patience from the client. I understand some people may think a customer does not have to do anything to get a good service. Theoretically this is true, but in practice, it almost never happens.

The Syracuse Rideshare Delivery Logs (Pt. 1)
Syracuse, New York. Home to roughly 900,000 human lives as of 2019. Home. That is, in my case, the starting line. I don't intend to stay, as few people do when they get older and realize how much more there is just over the horizon. "Salt City," they used to call it, for its historical significance as a salt mining town amidst the industrial revolution, with the Erie Canal and railway networks lain here weaving the modern State of New York together.
