The other day, Dear Jane Sample wrote about mistakes and reminded her readers that mistakes happen and no matter how big or small, life goes on; it’s not a big deal. While I agree, I don’t accept that. Mistakes shouldn’t happen, especially when presenting, reporting, etc. to someone that’s your senior. This week was riddled […]
I’m stubborn. Some say insanely so. Because of this, I typically listen to my head instead of my gut. Afterwards, I end up shaking my head, because, you guessed it, my gut has always been right. Except for this week. Not once, but three times in a single week, my gut screamed like crazy and […]
Thanks to Dear Jane Sample, I got to see the below picture fairly early this morning. Not sure why, but that stupid, tiny sign helped me make it through the day. So here’s to all the tiny signs and post secrets that someone leaves for someone else to find.
I’ve spent a lot of the day thinking about my When I was 10 post from yesterday. It sucks that as we grow up we stop acting like kids because there’s never enough “time”. We should all slide down the slides more and swing on swings and spend an hour lying in the grass and […]

Every month or so, the School of Communications at the University of Miami (from where I graduated) sends out an email requesting updated information about Alumni, i.e. where are you working so that we can make the school look cool/good if you in turn have a cool/good job. Sounds great and easy right? There has […]
When I was a little kid, I loved the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Somehow it always made me feel better about my bad day; Alexander’s day always seemed worse. I mean getting gum stuck in your hair and having cavities filled all in one day has to be […]
Why are the simplest things so difficult? I feel like a broken record. I’d like to say it’s just one moron, but, oh no, it’s basically everyone we work with. Why can’t people get the following things through their heads: 1. Use our out of market logo aka put “Las Vegas” on all our advertising. […]
I like to think that I always get everything I want. Most of the time, I do. But, in reality, the two things I’ve wanted most in the world, I’ve lost. I keep searching for reasons why – moving to Vegas, meeting x, becoming y, winning z. But, each justification never lasts nor seems to […]
