♦ My old employer, code name Dyn-o-mite!, recently had a national magazine do a flattering profile on them. It took all of my restraint to not post a comment on the online version of the story – corporate clients and industry personalities alike were lauding the products that my old company produces as top-notch [...]
Wedding planning so far has been, as I predicted in my last post, alternatively stressful and fun. Fun part! Knowing who your bridesmaids are immediately (little sis Dorkus is my maid of honor, my good friend L from my Dyn-o-mite! days is my bridesmaid). Stressful part! Realizing you know way too many people and happen [...]
Today, I start the first of three upcoming trips; two of them are to Michigan and one is to our vacation destination which is . . . drum-roll, please . . .
Portland, Oregon!
A lot of you are saying “Big whoop.” But I know one person who is poofing out his cheeks, nodding enthusiastically and clapping.
However, [...]
Oh, all about my shennanigans and goings ons . . .
I am in love with a scale. Funny that, no? Most people hate scales, and up until a month ago, I was no different. But many workouts, fruits, vegetables, grams of fiber and seven pounds (less) later, I wholeheartedly adore my new Tanita BC533 Innerscan. [...]
I have been meaning to post this ever since I saw the first bowl game being played on ESPN thanks to my gym, but I finally remembered to post about it today:
I don’t have to watch a bowl game this year for work! Yay! I don’t have sit through three hours of boredom [...]
“You need an iPod.”
So said IP to yours truly. He is never one to encourage me to spend extravagantly, but I think my getting an iPod would ease his pain considerably. Since my poor iPod nano broke (err, got stepped on by my 1-3/4″ heel), I’ve been yelping nonstop about the noise in [...]
Dear HBO Executives:
I just paid $1.99 to iTunes and Bravo TV in order to download the latest episode of Project Runway’s third season. Note: I paid. I didn’t use µtorrent to download it; I legally paid for my copy. If you could find it in your heart to team the hell up [...]
The dominoes continue to fall at Dyn-o-mite!, as one of the worst employees there decides to high-tail it to St. Louis, following his girlfriend. Alas! Tool, we hardly knew ye!
The latest development, although it came about as a resignation and not a firing like The Tool richly deserved, nonetheless makes my former co-workers [...]
*Today was a toughie in my little world. Nothing seemed to go right at work, and by the time five o’clock rolled around, I was ready to come home and build some nightstands. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and I can get much done. However, today started ominously enough with [...]
I am so tired. But I am so excited. I cannot begin to describe how much I’m looking forward to being on my own, beginning a wonderful career, and learning the ins and outs of a new city. It’s also a wonderful chance to make new friends and colleagues. It’s also, [...]
