Food for thought

On the one hand, big thanks to THE AGENCY for feeding me a lot lately.  Three meals every day, for the last several days.
We’re talking serious foodage people.  I haven’t gone grocery shopping in almost three weeks.
On the other hand – a completely different hand – maybe even on an entirely different body ? why [...]

It seemed like a good idea at the time

Note to self: the next time you have a good job that pays well and does NOT require you to work until midnight, you should keep it. 
Exchanging it for a job where you DO have to work until midnight is not a good idea.
It might seem like it is, but it’s not.
If you ever have [...]

Congratulations no exclamation mark

Dear Comcast:
Some of us are trying to work.  You know work?  That thing that you do, at that place, and they pay you for it?
For me, “that thing” happens to be writing, editing, planning, and researching.
“That place” happens to be at my dining room table, until I make my move out West in a couple [...]

Should I stay or should I go?

Okay Internet, I am officially freaking out. 
I have been offered a job in San Francisco.
Do I take it?
Ready….GO!
(Seriously though, I need help deciding, and any insight you have into this situation is valuable. 
Have you ever moved away from home? 
How did you do? 
Was it scary? 
Was it a good choice?
Are you glad you did it? 
Wish you  hadn’t? 
If [...]

How to annoy me:

Pronounce the word idea as idear.
“Well, I had the idear of putting the phone number directly on the form, so…”
Unless you are British, this is not funny or cute.  It’s annoying.  And without the fetching British accent, it also makes you sound like you came from a trailer park.
Unless you did come from a trailer [...]

Too drunk to wear this trench coat

Two Very! Important! Things!
1. Though perhaps implied by the below post, I do not have a husband or children.  I am much too young for that.  At least, I think so.  You can do the masthead math and judge for yourself.  In fact, I’ve recently been quoted as saying that all my friends are getting [...]

And by the by…

I hear you, and I apologize for not posting for a week. 
This week has been a flood of emotions, and I’ve been a hot mess.  And I’m pretty sure the internet has enough of those already.
Engagements, deaths, inner-office drama, and $64 million dollars have all entered my realm of existence this week and I can barely [...]

Using that journalism degree

Breaking News: a tragic incident has occurred at my place of business: A woman was Voguely injured today and is still in critical condition. 
The woman, who will remain nameless because this reporter doesn’t know her name, was spotted by the Starbucks machine at precisely 8: 16 a.m. wearing black denim overalls, white reebok sneakers, and [...]

The spirit of Japan: Office Edition

No one is here today.  My office is empty.  I am hating this place more than usual.
And so, to adequately convey my pain and boredom, a series of office haikus for you:
 
My office is beige
My life is so sad and blue
I wish I weren’t here
 
Man* has left this place
My entertainment is gone
What shall I blog now?
 
I [...]
