A few months ago, I finished my Master of Business Administration. It was one of the biggest challenges of my life. One of the artefacts of this is a modest research paper. A few people have asked to read it. If you dare, please find it attached. Who’s in charge
I got a call from ASB Bank. They had detected “unusual activity” on my credit card. After verifying that it was indeed the bank (and not a scam), I worked out that I’d lost my card. Someone had found it and spent $2 at Z Energy then $3.20 at Burger King, then more at BK, […]
“All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round?
