Oh. My. These Mad Men inspired illustrations are amazing.

DUDE, I have totally had this thought (but never with my current job).

Plus You Wouldn't Have to Go to the Gym!

from Overheard in the Office

Coworker #1: Ugh. I don't feel like being at work today.
Coworker #2: I know. Don't you ever wish you could just fall out of bed in the morning and break both your legs so you could take a sick day?

When it’s finally lunchtime and your stomach has already been growling the better part of an hour, that last minute on the microwave will be the longest 60 seconds of the entire day.

Being a proud, lifelong Texan, any mention I make of Rhode Island is usually a punchline, but I’m giving them mad props here for passing legislation mandating dating violence education at the middle and high school levels.

To be honest, this was a little off my radar – the closest I’ve ever been to domestic violence has been a Lifetime movie. And even though to many of us, the warning signs may be obvious, I agree that it’s important to educate kids – both guys and girls – as they are just beginning their dating life so they can make smart and safe decisions.

My continuing fascination with uke' music

I've spent the past half hour just watching these guys.


Don't you kind of want them to come to your next impromptu house party? I bet they'd play for a case of beer.



I could totally play the wobble. AWESOME.

I haven’t forgotten about my new name (maybe?)/new look thing – I’ve just been really freakin’ busy and overwhelmed, and will continue to be for the next week (month, year, whatever). But! I’ll have some time to poke around next week, as I will be off from work a couple of days recovering from foot surgery (to remove a small calcified cyst – sexy!). We’ll see what kind of (un)sound judgments I make under the influence of painkillers…
