Hopefully, by now, my inappropriate, snarky, sarcastic sense of humor has become all-too-obvious to whoever (somebody, anybody) is reading this blog. My feeling about people without an excellent sense of humor is similar to my feeling about people who live without cats or dogs…bewilderment. I’m amazed by how clean their apartments are, that there’s not…

A while ago I dated a boy who thought I was “amazing, baby you’re so amazing,” except for when we were trying to kill each other, or if I sexted him when he was watching sports, or if I dated other guys without technically breaking up with him first…but anyway, he did think I was…

Gotta love the NY Times’ latest headline regarding the reprehensible massacre of 4 at a L.I., pharmacy on Sunday: “Police Suspect That Drugs Were Goal of Killer on L.I.” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/21/nyregion/drugs-possible-motive-in-fatal-attack-at-long-island-pharmacy.html?_r=1&ref=nyregion  Oh…ya think?? Ding ding ding: looks to me like somebody went to journalism school! 4 people, who offered NO resistance, are gunned down, so one “human”…

I know almost nothing about golf–except that the only type of golf I truly enjoy is miniature golf, and even at that I’m horrible–but I know enough to be very impressed by Rory McIllroy, who besides playing a perfect game at golf’s US Open yesterday, demonstrates an almost superhuman humility and ability to learn from…

Not that it’s a new idea—overeducated people demeaning their talents and skills, because they don’t understand their value, nor do they see how to make use of said skills in a difficult economy—but because it’s so prevalent.   We…

Got my mind right

I should preface these comments by saying I’ve been up (and working…and walking uphill both ways) since 3am (don’t ask), so now my brain is yawning and farting, and just generally ready for a nap and a Scotch.

Customer Service

Ugh: starting a new business, especially in these dire economic times, is just an on-going game of Choose Your Own Adventure (remember those books from the 1980s? No? Right, we’re all too young…cough cough) wherein even the simplest things can be incredibly frustrating. Even as everyone talks about how necessary small businesses are to drive the engine…
