I wish I could say the last week was spent in some exotic locale, sipping a fruity drink garnished with an umbrella and soaking on some much-needed sun, but sadly, I was tied up in Corporate Hell.
The company I work for utilizes the Six Sigma program. Basically, it’s a means of fixing a problem, preferably [...]
So, to continue my corporate hate-on, my next target is: Whirlpool!
When we rented our previous residence three years ago, it was brand new. Like, to the point where we found new home issues such as the plumbing being completely backwards in the shower and a mass infestation of love bugs because of the sliding doors [...]
I know, I know. You’re probably all, “Who is this steenface person and what is she doing on my feed reader?”
Dudes. (“Don’t call me dude.”) Y’all just don’t even know the moving hell I have been in since Sunday. With the help of some awesome friends, we moved all our heavy stuff on Sunday and [...]
(Yes, according to “Jaws.”)
This is probably going to sound odd coming from someone who is not only a native Floridian but grew up on the Gulf Coast.
But.
I do not like “natural” water. If it’s not in a pool, fully chlorinated and chock full of chemicals, I just might possibly be a teensy bit afraid of [...]
I am not an overly touchy-feely, in-your-business person. My parents were not brash and outgoing, I am not this way. It’s not to say that I’m cold, although I’m certain I come off that way, but it’s a lingering effect of having been a painfully shy and quiet child who never made the first move. [...]
I’m sorry but am I the only one that thinks Ticketmaster is the biggest and most successful scam out there?
Over the past few months, I’ve received e-mail updates about the parade of musical acts coming through — one of the perks to living in Orlando includes having some serious talent coming through, including MOTLEY MOTHERFUCKIN’ [...]
Your regular posting schedule will resume as soon as the world stops spinning out of control and I get my shit together. Which will hopefully be tomorrow. Or next week.
My mini-vacation to Arkansas was fabulous, despite the fact that I didn’t get a lot of sleep and it was reallyfuckingcold. I [...]
I have a major soft spot for pets. I am one of those ASPCA-loving nuts who would be hard-pressed to buy a designer dog (Maltipoos? Chiweenies? Seriously?) from a pet store, instead opting to go through a breeder or, better yet, an animal shelter or adoption center. An AKC-certification is unimportant to me, as is [...]
I like to think that I’m a pretty easy-going customer. I’m always friendly to servers and cashiers. I have only tipped under 20% a handful of times in my life, including that one time I left a $0.66 tip on a $50+ check — I rounded up to the nearest dollar — because [...]
It’s Wednesday, day three of a four-day work week, and I’m hiding under my blankets, frantically waving a white flag.
I give. You win, World.
So, you remember that whole electrical fiasco we had last week? And how I was all, “The only thing that got fried was the power supply to our router! YAYYY!”? [...]
