The word “duck,” for instance, is barred from sales agents’ e-mail addresses, as is any mention in company publications not generated by the Columbus, Ga., headquarters. Duck costumes are verboten, as are duck Christmas ornaments (requested by some […]

Oh dear Lord where to begin? It’s so very hard to keep a diary and entertain tens of readers when your life is as boring as sin. I haven’t made the cookies yet. I was planning on it tonight, but instead Esteban hauled me to the Maul (TM K.Lo) so that he could have a […]

For the last couple of days, I have been an absolute cooking PHENOMENON. Or in the words of Paula Absurd’ Feh Nomenon. Earlier this week, I made chili and it was divine.

Because that was too hard or sketchy on whether or not people would actually want them? So I came up with a new idea: Play Doh. Yes. […]

I have an announcement to make: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Summer Slacker Girl has left the building. And let me tell you how I have come to this conclusion: I am at this very moment wearing socks. I’m looking forward to cleaning the living room tonight because it makes me insane to sit in there […]

I’ll bet you’re just losing sleep at night, wondering what happened to the Nut saga. Client: I don’t understand this question about the snack nuts. Weetabix: Well, nuts are classified four ways.

So much to say. I went to work for a while yesterday, as I detailed in yesterday’s entry, and then scootled home to take a shower and get ready for our evening of merriment. My very excellent friend Markus (the only person to ever write a guest entry on this page) is moving to North […]

Have you been dying to get on the Notify List but couldn’t because I’m an html tard and kept somehow breaking that little handy window down on the bottom of the page? No. Don’t go looking for the little window. It’s gone. I’ve banished it. But if the answer to that question is “Why yes, […]

Yay! Esteban is home! Poor boy, though. I’m completely fried from my new job. I made him go out and get me some peanut butter Twix ice cream last night because I was uber stressed. I’ve made claims to my team members about jumping in with both feet, but apparently the thing I’m jumping into […]
