    It’s a terrible time right now. I’ve applied for over 100 roles this year and only got 3 interviews. Interviews went well, but you never move on. Likely they had someone in mind for the position already.

    I think I’m close to reaching out to one of those temp agencies and try to find a year contract somewhere with the hope I end up getting a permanent offer somewhere.

    I have 10 years experience in operations and finished a BBA a year ago and it has not amounted in any new opportunities sadly.





  • I strongly believe The Office should have ended when Michael left. His departure was perfect and if they had ended the rest of the show there, they would have finished the show on a high. Instead it dragged on and it became a shell of itself.

    If I can advocate for Parks and Rec’s end. I will say that they found a way to wrap it up very well giving each character a satisfying ending to their arcs. The new characters are defintely forgettable and sour the later episodes a bit, but it is worth it for the conclusion.






  • I think it depends on your preference. I worked out at the gym for many years before covid and after the pandemic I built a home gym with a power rack, barbell, adjustable dumbells, and cable machine. Biggest advantage of this is not having to share a rack with anyone. It was sometimes annoying to have to wait for equipment.

    What I’ll say is that I really appreciated starting at the gym as I got to have access to every machine and workout equipment. This let me build a workout plan over years and get a good idea of what sort of equipment I would need to stay active. I also found it helpful to see what other people were doing at the gym. Some people clearly have no idea what they are doing, but seeing what other experienced people at the gym were doing gave me some great ideas of what to incorporate into my workouts.

    I also did have a personal trainer for 6 months and I highly recommend this, especially when you are new to working out. The biggest value is from having someone experienced give you tips and tricks on how to improve your form and workout safely. Especially as you get stronger and lift heavier weights. It’s easy to lift something slightly wrong and really hurt yourself.

    Overall, I always enjoyed my time at the gym and it gave me the knowledge to built a great home gym.
