So my office is doing something pretty awesome – and that’s a pedometer challenge.   Basically, we all got nice little pedometers to wear around and record our steps – and attempt to beat the two principals in the company on a daily basis.  We got put into teams of six – and today marks the completion of week one. Now – for what you guys don’t know about me.  I walk every where.  Right now, I don’t have a car available to me, so I walk to [Click Comments To Continue]

Yesterday we discussed the unemployment rates of men and women, and how men are unemployed at a larger number than women are. Today, we’re going to discuss how for the first time in American history, women are actually making more than men. It’s true.  Yes, we know that women on average make less than men per hour for the same job, in fact, a recent study said that women in Maryland earned 83 cents on the dollar as compared to their male counterparts.

If you didn’t, please go ahead and read the first post in this series before continuing on to this post.   So, as I showed yesterday traditionally, women have been the ones to stay at home and take care of children – and men have been the ones to go out into the world and provide for the family.  Today, I’m focusing on a staggering segment of men as an example of how this world view is changing rapidly. This segment of men is the segment that [Click Comments To Continue]

Some days my life can pretty epic.  Then, there’s entire weekends that are epic.  These are the kind of weekends I haven’t had in forever, in fact, I had almost forgotten what they were like. You see, Friday night, we had a girls night in with vanilla vodka and coke playing Clue with Mary, MP, and April.   I’ve never played clue and I won – but I could tell you who it was.  (I think it was Mr. Green, in the ballroom, with the lead pipe.) Then, [Click Comments To Continue]

So, as most of you know, I walk to work most mornings.  This morning, while walking I see a Porsche pull up and block my way – and I’m thinking, “Who the hell do I know that drives a red Porsche?”  Look in the drivers seat and it’s a straight blast from the past.  You know, the high school past.  In fact, it’s the guy who most often gave me rides to school my sophomore year when I wasn’t riding with my boyfriend at the time.  He lived in my neighborhood [Click Comments To Continue]

Let me tell you about a game girls like to play, and I’ve come across it twice in the past few months and every time I do it makes me want to bash someones skull into a wall.  I typically say  it’s when someone is playing both sides against the middle… and here’s the definition from here: Play both ends against the middle  (American informal) To try to make two people or groups compete with each other in order to get an advantage for yourself.

I have nothing to write about today – so today, instead, you get the complete collection of “Confucius Say” which I’ve been building since the beginning of my time on the internet. (Really, some notepad files just never get lost, and never go away. You’d be amazed.) If you happen to find one of these that is so hilarious you must caption it, and share it on facebook, you can actually do that right here: http://memewow.com/meme/confucius-says-man-who-run-in-front-of-bus-get-tired/caption Also [Click Comments To Continue]

Gmail is broken. For realz people. I am not making this up. Google may try to cover it up since they are an evil empire, but let this serve as a log to their shadiness. This is the error I get when I go to try and login to my gmail. When I click on “Show Detailed Technical Info” I discover that it is a technical error Numeric Code: 93 and a quick google shows me I am not the only person having this issue according to this forum. However [Click Comments To Continue]

Ahhh, Sunday.  Sunday during the fall and some of the winter is a day full of football, and April and I sitting at a bar screaming, “Cut him off at the knee caps!”  Since there is no football on Sunday anymore, April and Mary and I decided to go to the bar anyway. We started with mimosa’s but drank the bar out of champagne, so we moved to whipped vodka and orange juice.  Then we left the bar and went to April and Mary’s where we continued with [Click Comments To Continue]
