I am not sure how much you’ve read to gather that I can be a supreme dork; if it’s not my love for NPR that shoots me in the foot perhaps it’s my obsession with the New York Times crossword or love of non-fiction – all told my hobbies put me in the realm of dork and this new reveal will do little to negate this: LIBRARIES! When I was little my favorite scene in Beauty and the Beast was in the library – all those books, the ladders to get to them, the cozy chairs by the fireplace – […]

A fun article in honor of the first day of OCR You all should know by now that I LOVE NPR! Yup. I say it loud and I say it proud: I love NPR! I love it even more when I can use it for work (like we did when discussing Elevator Pitches). Well, courtesy of NPR comes yet another post from me, this time about preschoolers and interviewing. It really made me laugh. Then it made me feel bad for these little tykes. My preschool days were carefree bliss of making play dough (and of course taste testing it), […]
