Bonkers
I'm looking forward to the end of this week. There isn't really anything special about the end of this week, but I'm happy to get out of the chaotic, shit hole that was last week. My belief is that the farther I get away from last week I'll have fewer nights like this one - restless and sleepless.
Contrary to all the times I've complained in ( Read more... ) -
Public Relations
While reading about the Komen meltdown and all of the organization's previous and ongoing public relations mistakes it reminded me that when I graduated University I planned to spend 5-8 years in journalism and eventually move into a public relations career. I didn't see journalism as the career that would help me retire early and thought I would ( Read more... ) -
concessions
We had a breakthrough at work when it comes to figuring out the psychology of my boss. One of his prior jobs was being a union steward and leading contract negotiations at a GE plant. It dawned on two of us the other day that the tactics he uses to manage the office are union negotiation tactics. That explains a great deal of why we're on edge. He ( Read more... ) -
FlixFail
The week is nearly over and I haven't pulled the trigger to cancel my NetFlix account. It isn't causing me a great deal of anxiety, but it is causing just enough to make me hesitate going that next step. I've taken all of the precautions I need, including copying my queues into a google doc, but my brain's freaking out over not having the direct ( Read more... ) -
*ker-plunk*
This seems like a good time to have the obligatory "I'm going to write this year" post. So here it is. Dazzling? Ain't it?
I have a great deal I need to get straight in my brain at the start of 2012 and instead of talking to myself while driving, a clear sign that I'm going insane, I figure it might be worthwhile to take advantage of livejournal. My ( Read more... ) -
Cold pizza
I want to review cold pizza. I'm convinced that chain pizza is better cold than independent pizza. I had a piece of cold Glass Nickel peperoni pizza this morning and it was gross. It could also be that I haven't consumed cold pizza in many, many years. Such a column would likely be of interest to college students. When ordering late night pizza ( Read more... ) -

Girl One: "My friend and I, like, were going to go to this place called Hobby Lobby. We were, like, going to get paint-by-numbers, because we're, like, so bored and have nothing to do ( Read more... ) -
Like, a post
I'm at Steep and Brew and I forgot to bring my headphones with me. For the last half an hour I was eavesdropping on an interesting conversation between two older gentlemen regarding Christopher Hitchens. Two students just came in and sat in between myself and the two gentlemen and are having a loud conversation about Facebook and shots. I'm now ( Read more... ) -
Purging
I've been squatting on a twitter account using my real name for two years. Today I decided to dust it off and start using it strictly to tweet important tweets. You know, tweets that'll make me look all smart and shit for employers. I figure when the time comes for me to start sending out my resume I'll need to lock down my primary twitter feed, ( Read more... )
