Take a Picture, It’ll Last Longer

Last week, Originate spent half the week/weekend in beautiful f#cking hot Las Vegas, for our annual retreat- well, Attack, actually. “We don’t retreat, we attack”, I was told in my initial interviews. What I was promised was 3 days of face-to-face interaction with everyone in the company (our offices are all over the world, not justContinue reading “Take a Picture, It’ll Last Longer”

In a week and a half, Lauren and I will be packing up and moving out of the apartment weContinue reading “It’s That Time Again…”

Day 1/70

Well, I just got off from my first day working 8-5 in an office, and I can safely say it was a lot more tolerable than I thought. Halfway through the day I realized that I was enjoying being buried in a pile of folders holding bills in various stages of the legislative process. It’sContinue reading “Day 1/70”

T Minus 2 days…

Hello All! For the next 10 weeks, starting on Saturday, I will be working in an internship with Project Vote Smart, a political non-profit compiling a database called the “Voter Self-Defense System”. I, along with 39 other interns, will be aiding in research and fact-checking from 8-5 every day of the week. Sounds pretty daunting,Continue reading “T Minus 2 days…”
