I’ve been experimenting with delegating at work, exercising my dotted line-ness and whatnot. I don’t even know if that makes sense to non-cubicle folks, the dotted line thing? Have my references become so enmeshed in corporate speak that I no longer can communicate outside of banal non-threatening beige walls? Can I no longer talk the […]

I know that earlier I mentioned that I had arthritis in my hand and that I’m a verified wreck, but it was slightly in jest. Last week, anyway. This week… my GOD the fucking arthritis! Seriously, a few days after Christmas, I actually had an interesting conversation with my friend Phil about his gout. Phil […]

New Year’s Day finds me, as ever, feeling extraordinarily stingy and thrifty. I always spend too much on Christmas, but seriously, I cannot help it. I grew up poor (cue the black and white grainy footage and the goddamn violins already) and that messes with your head. My mother-in-law has the same illness and we […]

It’s the annual New Year’s Eve video! The amateurish nature is a stylistic choice to maintain my street cred. Or something. You’ll never know. But I get away with it because my friends are all fucking gorgeous. Damn. Seriously, damn. PS. At least five of these pictures were not taken by me but are rather […]

Some really quick bites: *If you didn’t already know about an incredible positive body image site called Big Fat Deal, it’s time you got your fine ass over there and checked it out. Cool thing: a screen shot of the site was just featured on some morning show on CBS. Weird thing: it was about […]

So far this week, I made soup, got sick and also, had a crazy meeting, and have threatened to go into hiding, perhaps in the Yukon. Which I’m not sure if I know where that is but it sounds really good. Alaska, right? I hope so. I finished my story for class and also, can’t […]
I would like to have just one day. Just one day (!) where I do not have to thump on someone’s parade at work. Seriously, today it was a conference call for what was my big hairy project for 2006 that is now thisclose to being finished (and has been handed off to my replacement […]
I’m supposed to be working on a short story but realized that already it is December 2 and already I am behind on Holidailies. There is shame. Shame and also a very delicious bit of cake on the desk beside me as I work. The cake wins. This should be no surprise. Cake always wins […]

Esteban : December can’t get here soon enough. I am looking forward to trimming the Beard of Justice. Weetabix : Is everyone going to take a picture? Of all the justice? Esteban : Yes. Actually, you are going to help me with that. There are no Self Portraits of Justice. Weetabix : You could do […]
