Student Affairs and Services Jobs
At the state college that I work at it is custom to have very large screening or interviewing committees. I was asked to be on one about a year and a half ago. As the interviewees took their turns being interviewed, there was one of my coworkers who was interviewing for the position. Honestly, I did not know her very well, excepting passing here and there. As she was answering the questions, she seemed incredibly nervous. After the interview was over, she told me that whenever she felt anxious, she would look at me and felt calmer. She was thankful for the calming presence that exhibited. After hearing this, it was quite humbling. Frankly, I now consider this one of the best compliments that I have ever received. Also, it is encouraging to know that I don’t have a scary face after all! Deep sigh. I can rest easy now. Winking face.

Lessons from a 1930’s Budgeting Book
During these unprecedented times one needs to get up to scratch on how to Make Things Work. The current crisis has impacted our physical and mental health whilst also emptying our bank accounts. As a freelance creative and a small business owner, I feel particularly affected by the ongoing lockdowns we’re experiencing in Australia, as well as the coronavirus pandemic at large. So when I was gathering a few books to keep me company during Melbourne’s sixth lockdown I couldn’t resist adding Orchids On Your Budget to cart. There’s something especially drab about having to read any kind of budgeting book, but reading one with the glimmer of the late 30s involved felt a little more palatable. Orchids On Your Budget was published on the tail end of the depression, not long before the second a world war, certainly extremely tough times for so many, but really was that financial situation all that different from the one we are facing now?
