Incredibly boring office revelation of the day
It is official. The Oatmeal Raisin Walnut-flavored Clif bar is my absolute favorite. And I am not a bar person. I tried to convert myself working at a gym where protein bars were considered “meals.” But most of the time they just tasted like cardboard with the occasional chocolate chip thrown in to spite you. Clif Bars are the only ones I can tolerate and semi-enjoy. But moral of the...

If I can make it here, I can make it ANYWHERE.
I’ve heard it a million times, and it’s absolutely true. Or at least feels like that. At the end of this job-hunting/life-searching/soul-digging experience I swear to God I am going to be so much stronger, tougher and thick-skinned than anything else could teach me. Welcome to New York: get ready to get your ass kicked.

This is the coolest thing to happen to Atlanta since the Olympics. (That’s right, nothing cool has happened since ‘96. I said it.)

Uh-uh By the way, where’d you meet him? I met him at the candy store He turned around and smiled at me You get the picture? (yes, we see) That’s when I fell for...
She can kill with a smile She can wound with her eyes She can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child, But she’s always a woman to me She can lead you to love She can take you or leave you She can ask for the truth But she’ll never believe you And she’ll take what you give her, as long as it’s free...

The city is a pity, half of y’all won’t make it — new post on tiny frustrations and skin-thickening in the city that never sleeps
Biggest movie pet peeve: During the character’s personality-changing climax, they look at their cell phone, filled with texts from a toxic boss, ex, or significant other, and THROW IT INTO A BODY OF WATER (I’ve seen fountains, rivers, and oceans — am I missing any?). OK I get the going for dramatics thing. But simply turn it off and put it back in your purse. The boss/guy/girl will...
I love the library, yes I do
So, you may have a really great neighbor. One to always lend a hand and give you some sugar and eggs or whatever for your random cake-bake. But does your neighbor give you books, CDs, [stolen internet] and DVDs for free, and let you borrow them for five weeks, with five opportunities to say, “hey, I want to keep these a little longer.” Suppose you don’t have the pleasure of...
