that'll be a dollar extra yup that's fine agger and i say hang up the phone thirty years of obsession i've realized that extra sauce and extra crossed our crew together the common phrase no such thing as free lunch finally reveals more about human nature other than our increasing need for greed the habit started around five years old and i openly admit now that it was pretty disgusting catch up my childhood addiction and unnecessary amount of catch up as you imagine loads of ketchup on your every day meals like you ever earn around me thought the same but what i remember most about that period is not the reactions of the people around me but the extreme happiness and satisfaction i felt from having the surplus of catch up so why is it now that i don't pile of ketchup on my meals the answer is quite predictable it would be weird to who exactly have fairy stories only the people around me but eventually i follow their path the phrase with age comes wisdom has been passed around for years however this is greatly flawed why is it a show do we go for what we want and as adults we go for it was acceptable to society the answer lies with an extra sauce exercise bring satisfaction along with judgement of the child we focus on the benefit and as adult we grow and as we go to focus on the consequence we go from asking for ex accepting whatever the waiter gave you my next phase or the extra sauce came with a more moderate amount extra ranch on the side extra non cuts of sowed jesting which my five year old self would greatly disapproved of dark amole even with chipotle is ridiculous extra charge policy extra sauce comes with the charge an extra dollar a stranger and most of the time both but these aspects stone stop me because
from belmont savings bank with another mahoney money minute so i've been talking lately about interviewing because this is that season when people are interviewing for jobs who are graduating from schools and the key to an interview is preparation if you haven't spent a lot of time thinking about the organization that you're interviewing with and really study them you really are not ready for that interview and to prove that you're ready for that interview as you've done that research you need to come up with three killer questions you've got to come up with three questions that cannot be answered with the words yes or no these are questions that begin with the words how and why in the show that you study the company and you understand what business there in and when you are in the interview you have two choices you can either be the tennis ball you can be the tennis racquet most of you will become tennis balls some personal be sitting there hitting you back and forth against the wall with question after question after question you can't keep your thoughts straight you can't hear yourself think because you're just being pummeled it over and over and over with questions if on the other hand you does your research in advance and you've got your three killer questions that begins with the word how or why then you can interject along the way and you c become the tennis racquet instead of the tennis ball and now you're controlling the conversation so a question you might think about how did you decide to work at this company you asked your interviewer how do good people get ahead in this company why do good people leave this company how did you decide on that particular strategy that i read about in the wall street journal last week how did the company choose to leave singapore last year these are the kind of questions that have to elicit longer answers on the part of the interviewer and guess what while he or she is talking you can think you can think about your next killer question if you're talking you can't think so now you've taken control of the interview and you w l be amazed how much people love talking about themselves and their companies they enjoy it a lot more that asking you questions so do your research take control get those three killer questions and become a tennis racket money from belmont savings bank and other

i believe in window shopping any day might be walking down the street when you meet a store what invariant with varying individuals is that for a moment you devote your mind to admire ing where you can see through its window its most prized possessions its glossy polished window is so clear that you could reach right through it but you don't because there's glass there and you wouldn't get the slightest fingerprint on it it twinkles under the sunlight and the store playfully winks back at you so you look your materialistic subconscious urging you to continue in my ring the things that are on display eventually you'll pass the dreamy store and sure back are grateful glance to catch one more look and until you encounter the glossy polished window again your mantle labrat on it when you do find it again maybe you'll go in this time and see what you wouldn't leave your eyes on just from the display but you can't think that your elaborations will be completely met and the story equally as glossy and polished as you imagined the reality is that when you do surpass the  barrier your glossy dream will be crushed because either the corners are dirty or the employees are rude you can possibly see or imagine this by standing from the street looking through the window display but you ventured further into your dreams die when you venture further you're bound to inspect the dirty corners and you're bound to run into an unpleasant employee no dream is perfect you can look through its window display and mire the future content but don't be surprised when you indulge yourself on that dream only to find  imperfections going into fifth grade i moved to france from the united states i was torn from my life in order to build a new one and i wasn't happy about it i was in france for three years and i finally learned to appreciate my new life my memories america help me captive and i incessantly dreamed of returning to my home town america became an obsession a cherished aspiration i imagined the limited perspective of highlighting memories i would condemn the attempts to taint my american window display repeatedly convincing myself that america was the greatest i returned home in eighth grade and crossed a glass barrier and reality fell short of my expectations and the many memories repelled my dream of over all dismantled and i was disappointed and so i believe in window shopping you can walk down any street and see beautiful flawless displays never having to walk in their boutiques to encounter rude employees or dirty corners sometimes the beauty of the richest streams lies on the outer display one that is best observed and appreciated from behind a glass
i used to hate dressing the same as my sisters sharing the same age with them was enough i didn't need the same outfit as them too now i see those outfits as more than just a materialistic thing displaying to the world that yes in fact i am related to these people around me i like looking back at old photos seeing each of our innocent faces and how alike we looked and who could possibly forget about those priceless little outfits all of us in a mix of blue purple pink and green these notting outfits allowed us to be recognized as a single unit a force to be reckoned with i remember these all christmas just as we used to have neighbor reading green plaid and absolutely adorable smile for the camera my mom would say wanting to capture how alike we were in our dresses it was christmas eve and that night all three of us slept in one room you promised one another that we'd stay up all night while listening for santa and reindeer i accidentally slipped into sleep for what kind of been more than an hour and when i woke up i was happy with a sudden awakening as i felt happy that our team would be able to catch santa in the act of putting presents under our tree i looked over to my sisters ready to tell them and saw that they were both  asleep thus the adventure was put on hold the next morning we woke up ran downstairs and waited for dad to come home with coffee for mom i don't remember what i received for christmas that year or what my sisters received i remember as our matching outfits they've always made me feel like an important part of an everlasting whole when we were little we were also travel down to cape cod and a three hour car ride filled with droll snacks and laughter one photo from one trip i have hanging up in my room depicts us all sitting on a bench clearly captured in a rare moment of also looking into the camera while being completely still wearing white shirts and plaid skirts we look as though we fit flawlessly together and although there are the occasional fights with teenaged i will always be grateful for this grateful for the friends given to me almost simultaneously with my first breath grateful for the support system and bodyguards that i know will always be there waiting to catch me if i slip because i tend to do that a lot i'll always be grateful for the constant automatic love that i receive where a team and i'm beatable one and that's why i believe in matching outfits
