I start my new job at the New School tomorrow, and I couldn't be more excited.  I had a terrible last week at Informa, and my old boss is such a bitch that she didn't even say goodbye to me.  She threw a luncheon for a girl in our department that left three weeks ago, but didn't even email me to say goodbye or good luck.  Her last email was about a ( Read more... )

From Moveon.org:
At a campaign stop on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain was asked what to do about Iran. His response? He sang "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann."

Seriously.

Wow.  That's sick.  These are PEOPLE you are threatening to bomb.  Starting a war is not something to make light of.  I just threw up in my ( Read more... )

After two weeks of reflection and soul searching, I've concluded that it would not be the end of the world if I do not get this job. The universe would have its reasons, and I'd have to accept them. But f' that shizzle--I got the job ( Read more... )

Does anyone see the humor in this? I don't think I'm being overly sensitive when I say this is the most retarded thing I've ever seen. It's so dumb that I really can't even muster the energy to be offended. Like I needed another reason to hate The Family Guy.

As you may know from previous posts, I don't get along with my boss-- she's a crazy micro-manager and treats me with very little respect.  Recently, I had a review where she told me I was going to be responsible for supervising several people.  I told her that I am already doing extra work that I have not been compenstated for and that I should ( Read more... )

Has anyone seen The Riches--the new show starring Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver on FX?  It's amazing.  I love it.  Watch it.

As you saw from my exuberant, albeit brief, post from last week, my sister got engaged on Valentine's Day.  Her fiance wrote "marry me" in the snow on our front lawn...very sweet.  The wedding is March 31st....as f you couldn't already guess by the whirlwind wedding, the other piece of good news is they are expecting a baby in September.  I couldn ( Read more... )

MY SISTER'S GETTING MARRIED!  WOOOOOOOO!

So, I guess Mike is officially the Brains of the operation.  He was just awarded a $4,000 fellowship!  It's not for a specific internship, rather a stipend that would allow him to take a public interest summer internship, which normally don't pay.  So, now he has to go find an internship.  Should be easy enough for him.  I'm so proud of how well he ( Read more... )

My mom called today to tell me how proud she is of me.  The reason, you ask?  Twice this month, Mike and I got up at 4:00 am to catch a bus to DC. The first was to protest the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps. That was a really cool protest--very artfully planned. About 300 of us, dressed in orange jumpsuits and black hoods, marched in silence to ( Read more... )
