How to Decline a Job Interview
It can happen to anyone who's searching for a job. You applied to a bunch of them, then got a callback to your dream job—only to have a callback happen at a place you would only work at if you were desperate. Or, perhaps, you applied to a place with enthusiasm and got a call back, only to read reviews that made you realize it's not the right fit for you. Either way, you will probably need to decline a job interview.

Footnote on the Lunacy of Public Services
I do not, of course, mean that to have public services is lunatic, I merely wish to comment on the bizarre structures and unwritten operational rules which undermine the smooth running of these services. It is foolish to assume that there is any joined up thinking in such institutions. Heaven forbid that an employee or service user should expect one aspect of the running of a school, for example, to marry up with the running of another aspect of that same school. And of course, every employee should know exactly how the winding and contradictory systems work, without ever having had it explained to them. I must have missed the training which taught us how to absorb this knowledge by osmosis.

Improv Looks Easy Right?
My last semester at Columbia I was told by my adviser, Marty, I had to start to make some choices as to what I wanted my next steps to be. He was one of the first people involved at Second City. He suggested for me to take a hard look at Second City as my next steps in my education.

We Were Legends
One week to go. Graduation was right around the corner and right now the only thing that mattered to the senior class was to accomplish a great senior prank. Jacob and Blair had been plotting the execution of a seamless and successful senior prank for months now. It had all come down to this.
