I call shennanigans

Ok, that’s not quite the right word, but I felt weird about having an expletive in the title. I’m actually calling bullshit. In the lunchroom today, the office girlies (I call them girlies because they are SUCH girly-girls) were talking about all sorts of celebrity gossip that ended up transforming into a conversation about their [...]

That old feeling

Friday night it happened again. I’m not going to go into specifics because no one but me would EVER understand my thought process. Even the people I was wigging out at didn’t know what to make of my wig-outted-ness because I was wigging. Anyway, it doesn’t matter WHY I was wigging out – the point [...]

10 Second Movie Review #6

Wasabi Tuna: Campy, drag queen-y, gay, and so full of pop culture references that you have to be on the National Enquirer mailing list to get everything… So, basically, I loved it. Fair warning – this movie is stupid and if you don’t like any of those things I listed, you’d hate it. A lot.

10 Second Book Reviews #1-3

The Cheese Monkeys : A Novel in Two Semesters: An interesting book taking place in the 50s. Not bad, not great, but entertaining enough to finish in a few hours. The Orchid Thief : A True Story of Beauty and Obsession: I don’t care what anyone says, this book isn’t about anything. No wonder Charlie [...]

Hateration

Just a quick rant: If you’re working at a company that has major hubs in Hawaii, Alaska, Colorado (and others, but you get the idea that there are multiple time-zones) and you have to coordinate new-hire training so that people in each of these places can attend the vid-conference, you’d think that a little skill [...]

You can’t do this to me in a place of business

I’ve mentioned that I’m knee deep in training modules for work. Basically, every policy, procedure and job-related piece of info I need [...]

Time management

Working out of the house full-time for the first time in 4 years has suddenly made me realize how much time I must’ve wasted because the to-do list that used to take me all day to complete now takes about 2 hours to complete – and that’s after I’ve spent all day at work. What [...]

She works hard for the money

Actually, I don’t. I spent my 8 hour work day working on training modules. It was exactly as fun as it sounds. No… really. Tomorrow I get to get fingerprinted (ooooooooooh!) and then go back to the training module grind. All in all, though, I think I’ma like this new job thing. Also, if you [...]

20 Second Movie Reviews #4-5

Two 10 second reviews for the price of one! #1 – Firewall: I could fit a small village into those plot holes and still have room to boot. Also, that was the lamest ending EVER. Good action if that’s what you’re into. #2 – World’s Fastest Indian: Enjoyable, endearing, and fun to watch. I can’t [...]

Excitement abounds!

Today was dedicated to pure geekery (with a minor detour through puppy class) that netted fabulous rewards that no one but me will likely ever see or care about. Well, except for one thing – but I’m getting ahead of myself. First off, look around… Notice something? Like, the fact that my blog isn’t broken? [...]
