I’ve joked with some friends sometimes that I’d like to have a “warning” post that lists out all of the pitfalls of dealing with me – whether as a friend, colleague, etc. I’ll be turning 30 this year and I feel particularly compelled to actually do this.

The first thing I’d warn people about is that I can be very bad with schedules, calendars, appointments and so on. This is something that dates back to my childhood, and I’ve been working pretty hard for years now to get better at it.
