Sorry, I’ll try not to drip all over your resumé.
I once showed up to a job interview soaking wet. Luckily, I was the interviewer, not the interviewee. But it was still super awkward, especially since the candidate I was grilling was dressed to the nines. We’re talking three-piece suit, the works. I have never felt so shlubby in my life.

I can eat a blood orange like a champ!
Looking for a new show to binge after finishing Dexter, we decided to give The Pitt a shot. I’d heard good things, it won a bunch of Emmys, and I was a big ER fan back in the day. It even stars Noah Wyle, for crying out loud. Seemed like a no-brainer. We finished the…
