Just one more reason why my boss rocks: Background: My swim coach’s philosophy on being sick was unless you had a 102+ degree fever AND you were puking you should be at practice. That philosophy has been ingrained into me and I’ve always applied it to everything I do, including showing up to work. With […]
I’m currently cranky from having a terrible, stupid cough for almost two weeks. Of course, it also came right when I decided to go on vacation, so I didn’t get to do everything I was looking forward to. Anyway, in “honor” of it, below are ten pet peeves and/or things I hate. People who don’t […]
The Beauty of Pirate Ships by Chris Brogan is a great, well written piece. I for one, am excited to see people throw away excuses, get down to business and get things done. While the piece is a great analogy, you shouldn’t need to get hungry. You should always be hungry. The moment you need to […]
I really enjoyed this post on Agency Spy about The Don’ts of Advertising Agencies: The Women’s Edition. Here’s a few of my favorites and a few of my own: Don’t call me a bitch. Shockingly, I’m not on the rag everyday. I just know what I want and am willing to go to any length […]

As of late, thoughts of passion and happiness have been at the forefront of my mind. Two years ago, I made myself a promise: My happiness is the only thing that matters. And, no matter what it costs or what lengths I have to go to, I will always be happy. Thus far, I’ve stayed 100% […]
Lately, I haven’t been 100% satisfied with my post quality. I think it’s because my left brain is working on over drive looking for that silver bullet. I’m not talking about “the big idea” and I know I’ll never find the silver bullet, but I feel like there’s something right in front of my face […]
I seem to write a lot of posts on “things I don’t get”. Maybe I’ll start a series. Anyway here’s some from this week: Everyone’s complete inability to follow simple instructions. My voice mail clearly and repeatedly states that if you reach it, follow up via email at xxxxxx@company.com. I even spell the email address out […]
