Great Things Happen To Ordinary People
for work, when I go to college fairs and make good contacts, I mark their inquiry card with “HOTT” so I know to call them later about applying. In the back of my mind, I had a feeling that the choice of “HOTT” was a double entendre and I partially hoped someone would think something [...]
