The 'M' Unit: Could be worse...
http://themunit.blogspot.com/2008/09/could-be-worse.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. I always wonder how many people walking around the Loop during lunch time are dreading going back up to their corner offices or tiny, bulletin-board walled cubicles. When I think about the percentage of people who are dreading it, I always also wonder deeper, into why they might be dreading their afternoons at work. You totally screwed something up at work, and you just know your boss will have found you out by the time you get back from lunch? For some reason, Nate made me mo...

The 'M' Unit: October 2008
http://themunit.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 16, 2008. So when I left work today, I realized I was walking the exact same route back to Merchandise Mart that I always take, and the woman in front of me was the very same woman whom I had followed that morning. It was really strange - kind of like an extreme case of deja-vu, except reality. Sunday, October 5, 2008. I think at some point in our lives, we all make decisions that we know at the time are not the right ones. This begs the question: Why? If you are literate and don't live...

The 'M' Unit: Against Better Judgement
http://themunit.blogspot.com/2008/10/against-better-judgement.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. I think at some point in our lives, we all make decisions that we know at the time are not the right ones. This begs the question: Why? I think that greatly depends upon the situation. Financial decisions that we know are bad tend to be spontaneous impulse spending and often result in buyer's remorse (read: my friend who recently purchased an exquisitely gigantic DLP television, loves it, but is having serious second thoughts). So why do people make these decisions that they know...

The 'M' Unit: May 2009
http://themunit.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. My Own Box of Tissues. I started a new job a couple weeks ago, and in comparison to the other 'corporate' jobs I've had, this one is bomb.com. My last job was for a small company, and we frequently had to scrounge around for office supplies and tissues. When I got to my desk on my first day of this new gig and saw an unopened box of tissues sitting there waiting for me (yes! I had my own box of tissues! It just affirmed that I would be happy here.

The 'M' Unit: Brown Line vs. Red Line
http://themunit.blogspot.com/2009/04/brown-line-vs-red-line.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Brown Line vs. Red Line. I recently started a new job - and it's in the highly-sought downtown area. We're not just talking "in the Loop," this office is right in the thick of it. Though as I've learned, this swanky new locale comes at a price. It's been just three days so far, and I already have a question: Red Line riders, how do you stand it? It's uncomfortable, it smells (usually of urine), and it's totally packed. I'm tempted to increase my commute by 20 minutes and ju...

The 'M' Unit: Oh, October
http://themunit.blogspot.com/2008/10/oh-october.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2008. My love for October professed, I must now say I do not understand why, in the city of. Cold weather strikes immediately upon the calendar turning to the 10. Reality of the climate set in when I got off the train and started walking to the office in the even windier. I watched ‘The Biggest Loser’ for the first time last night. It’s the family edition. I can see why it’s such an inspiring show – good for them! I ended up turning the episode off halfway through, after the 17-year...

The 'M' Unit: What Happens in a Year?
http://themunit.blogspot.com/2010/10/what-happens-in-year.html
Friday, October 1, 2010. What Happens in a Year? Ok, so I typed the title of this blog post and was instantly reminded of RENT. I swear, that was not on purpose - but just for posterity, I'll add a line from the song:. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, how do you measure, measure a year? Rent answers its own question, "How do you measure a year? With the answer, "Love.". A year i...
