Today, the CFO decided that FC and I didn't deserve air conditioning. Granted, it's not hot outside because it's now California Autumn (haha), but we sit by giant plate glass windows facing west, and the blinds don't help. We were melting ( Read more... )

I've been reviewing many, many a resume at the office, because we recently opened a new position for Controller.

Here's a listing of what we're looking for (without posting the actual ad with all the bells and whistles):

This morning, I woke up with a sudden revelation: it's not that relationships are work. It's just that I turn it INTO work!

Okay, and before anybody starts in on how I'm being too hard on myself and how things just happen for a reason, blah blah blah...don't worry.

I was all indignant and my second thought was, That just goes to show you how ( Read more... )

I have severe allergies -- as determined by another doctor (I had to reschedule my original appointment because the first doctor cancelled). I liked this second doctor FAR more than the first, who seemed ( Read more... )

I've known Gloria for maybe over 10 years. I've known Betty for almost 20 years -- nearly all my life! -- but I feel like I've known Gloria for just as long. She was there when AOL was the only source of Internet (haha) and she has always been upfront -- albeit, remarkably funny -- with me. Kind of like the older sister I never had (and that my ( Read more... )
