When IP and I moved in together, Verizon told us that no, we could not carry over IP’s old phone number (considering we’re in the same goddamn building, I don’t know why not, but it is fucking Verizon we’re talking about here); we were forced to get a new number. A new number that [...]
Three reasons why I’m happy to not have to endure daytime TV at the gym on a regular basis:
Sitcoms like the abhorrent Kings of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond on TBS (I hate Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton with the passion of a thousand burning suns; ditto Leah Remini)
Bonnie Hunt talking to and hugging creepy [...]
The changing parameters of the three work projects I’m currently on are getting to be very frustrating. Not so much that I’ll take it home with me, but what really nettles me is that my title is still lowly and insignificant. Everyone thinks I’m a goddamn secretary. Eighty percent of my contacts can’t bother to [...]
I prefer jury duty to work; this is a problem and one that I obviously need to rectify.
I must insert the caveat that I do like the people I work with; I do not like the situations we seem to get ourselves into with our capricious client. I’m finding it more and [...]
I cannot believe that I just lost the proposal story that I wrote for the website. Cannot. Believe. It. I go to fix the incorrect title — side note to the wedding website tool I’m using, why do you always drop the “e” from the last word in my title!?! — and I save changes [...]
Note to people responding to emails that I have sent them, in which my first name appears unabridged and in its correct three-syllable glory: my name ends with an “a”. For example, with my pseudonym: name’s WordNerd, not WordNer. Your dumb ass mistake is why I respond to you with the last letter [...]
The Metro gave me a headache yesterday. Many of you will scoff, and I will have to admit that I must correct myself – the Metro’s customers gave me a headache yesterday.
On both lines, I encountered a multitude of comments, shrill voices, proud declarations of ignorance, and sheer vapidity that made we want to [...]
I have a Starbucks barista who hates me. Can you believe?
Here’s what happened. Said Starbucks barista was the woman who took my order on the day that I found out my grandmother had died. I was a bit teary-eyed, flushed, and had a glum look on my face. The barista immediately [...]
Top reasons why DHL did not deliver my new BlackBerry today:
1) They attempted delivery and I was not home. IP and I are both home today and no one tried to contact us to enter the building, nor did anyone leave behind an attempted delivery slip.
2) They attempted delivery at the wrong address and I [...]
I just ordered a high school friend a BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier for her shower on Sunday — I can’t make it even though I live (comparatively) nearby. As I clicked the button to submit the order, I felt an irrational surge of irritation, annoyed that I was, once again, spending money on a [...]
