The Inner Workings of Firms

I was working on resumes and dog walking; riding my bike around town and working at the coalition offices. I was reviewing my old resumes because of an email from an old coworker. I had been reflecting a lot in my writings over this incident and it gave me a lot of insight on how firms work. I believe what happened is my old coworker called a number of us about a job posting and management from the old job heard about it. I thought that the progression in of emails in my inbox told an interesting story since it didn�t seem especially clear to anyone what was going on. However, after reflecting upon the incidents in aggregate I could only conclude that this was part of some back stage tug-of-war over skilled personnel. I never felt all that close to any of the people who had contacted me and that it was terribly out of context for them. So to check on whether I was hallucinating, I told the story to a number of disinterested parties and they all seemed to say the same thing. Clearly the inner workings of firms aren�t very opaque at all.

I went to the Berkeley Map Library. It has the largest collection of air photos I have ever seen.


This is a regular series chronicling my life at regular intervals. This Memo series is meant to be a retrospective of what I have written and experienced. In each of these posts I use my notes in conjunction with memory, mementos and souvenirs to create a snap shot of my life. I wrote this on the 26th of May and posted it to the blog on June 13th.
