Weather casters (???) here predicted howling winds and power outages here last night. We didn't get the power outages but we did get the wind and swirling snow and a nice crunchy coat of ice on top of it all. I'm relieved to have electricity today (and...

So the "hunkering down" is really starting to get to me. To the point that calling one of my ex-boyfriends sounds like a good idea. No booze required. Working from home is one thing. Not having a conversation of any length about anything than work for...

The Wall Street Journal has a blog following some out-of-work MBAs . A piece of advice I noticed right away and agree with is that the seeker needs to take time for other parts of their life (exercise, etc.) because looking for work is not a full-time...

I remember the cold winters in Chicago. And I also remember that they are why I had to move. Because, I mean, who voluntarily leaves Chicago? Really. If you know me even relatively well, you have heard me say this: I don't like to be cold. I usually explain...

People here have lost their damned minds. I actually heard the newscaster call people "idiots" and if he was cool like me, he would have had much better names for those people and better hair too. People complained because snow was predicted a few...

This (which has no embed code, dernit) And by this my dad means: a) Happy holidays, daughter! As a Christmas present next year, I'd like to have a son-in-law. If the best you can do is a "dual bag", that's OK with me. Get used to the idea. Clock...

We sure had some fun with the top 5 rockingest songs ever....and I mean ever; except that some of those songs totally didn't rock and I think you knew who you were even before you posted them. It's OK, "to each his own" comes to mind here. Not everyone...

Like, totally.

Lately, I have had the news on during some of my work time. I like the background noise. But lately, I have been absorbing some of the junk that the reporters are dishing and I am finding it hard to take. What I am challenged with is straddling the...

Qi Lu to lead OSG. There are other news reports besides this one but I like the diversity angle and am glad to see Lu joining the senior leadship team.

This came up in conversation recently. I had been on the treadmill and one of my top 5 came on and I was thinking about how different it is to rock out on the treadmill to a song like that versus the others on the play list. Later that week at a bar,...

If you are like me, over the holidays, you have more time to read blogs than usual. I've heard as much as I care to from a few folks that don't know how to argue civilly. But I thought it would be fun to do a couple readers participation posts and keep...

I don't want to date you but I do think you should get your cat something for the holidays (whichever holidays you celebrate, or even if you are like me and don't really celebrate anything but like giving and receiving the gifts and the smell of evergreen...

ICYMI - Girl Can Scratch The Inside Of Her Eyelids @ Yahoo! Video but I won't be able to help you. Someone asked for less "political" blog posts. So it was either this or I was going to write about my favorite brand of yogurt. And...you're...
