Dear Qdoba Human Resource Homeys,
I am hoping in between Conflict Management training and prepping performance plans you could let me in on something.
Over the last say, 6 or 7 years, I have visited many of your “Mexican” “grills” scattered throughout the Denver Metro Area. In a pinch, hung over out of my mind [...]
In August 1991, Troy Davis was convicted and sentenced to death row for a crime he maintains he did not commit – the 1989 murder of Mark MacPhail, a Savannah police officer. During Davis’ trial neither a weapon nor any physical evidence were ever provided. Davis was found guilty based solely on the [...]

The symptoms and side effects of PTSD include among other things, flashbacks, loss of interest in life, emotional detachment, outbursts of anger, intense distress and at [...]
Since childhood Kofi wanted to see the United States. His ultimate arrival would be preceded by the murder of his brother and followed by both a love of his new country and a deep frustration over the prejudice he found…in the most unlikely of places.

I was there in late 1999 – early 2000. Zimbabwe [...]
Hey Dude,
First things first – nice work landing the Starbucks gig. That will undoubtedly look stellar on the CV come graduation time. Much better than schlocking pizza slices all summer, wouldn’t you say? You will have to find a nifty way to spin “Spent whole summer cutting and pasting customer feedback into an Excel spreadsheet”, [...]
Michiee’s very tall and extremely slender body is one that women envy and men as he tells me, yes, even the straight ones, find themselves enamored by. It would take an effort not to love him. In fact, in the few hours I spent with him I quickly realized it was hard for almost everyone [...]
I have spent the last 5 months walking, running and stumbling past the “women in the windows” in Amsterdam’s Red Light District. The questions that ran through my head were never ending and never answered. One day, I just had to stop and ask. This is [...]
