When I quit my last job, I sooo wanted to march into my supervisor’s office, happily declare, “I QUIT!” and go on a tirade on everything I hated about working there. But all the professional advice I have heard and read advised against it. They told me that if I had major beef with the boss […]
My father and I aren’t particularly close, but we have a special bond — a bond that began on the day my sister was brought home from the hospital and remains to this day. (Why the day my sister was brought home from the hospital? The story goes that I used to sleep right next […]
J is very fortunate to be working for a company that seems to be bucking the dismal state of the economy. In fact, he is currently looking for a full-time employee to work directly under him, in addition to an intern to help with smaller tasks. The media tells us that the recession is getting […]
I woke up this morning to find a beautifully-written post by my friend Nodakademic that talks about her decision to wait to have kids. What I found particularly interesting was that she, along with others who choose to wait until they are at a more stable place in their lives — and in the meantime, […]

However, I always found them distasteful. And from a quick Google search, I have discovered that I am not alone in […]
I’m sorry for yesterday and today’s lack of updates. After having overnight guests and hosting a weekend full of World Cup festivities, we are nothing short of pooped. Even the little guy shares in our fatigue: I know we have a nice DSLR with which we can take fabulous photos. I also know that I […]
I am fortunate enough to have never been in a situation where I’ve had to dial 911. However, I have witnessed plenty of emergency situations involving other people that would warrant such a call. That being said, I hardly ever pick up the phone to make that crucial call. Because the few times I have […]
J and I love the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. My preferred instrument is the drums, while J likes to rock it out on the guitar — on expert mode, no less. We always joke about how years down the road, J will turn into Randy Marsh (my favorite South Park character), and so […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
