Over the past three weeks, I have traveled across the country like a madman. I have pulled off my best impression of George Clooney’s character in ”Up in the Air” while navigating the TSA, overpriced airport coffees and travel delays. My extensive travel was for both personal and professional reasons alike, but job interviews and

“Your YEAR of cringe? What about the other 20??” Silence. It’s my Inside Column and I get to tell the jokes. Recently, I’ve realized my most fundamental character trait — my greatest blessing, but my worst curse — is self-awareness. Actually, I’ve thought this for a while.
