Still on my trip…. I love stupid jokes. The ones that make me laugh loudest are the ones that make other people groan and question my parentage. I heard one the other day that had me rolling: What do you call a deer with no eyes?No eye deer (say it out loud) A few other…

Milestones and High Mileage
Yippee! This blog now has 100 followers! Yay! Thank you to everyone who visits, links, or comments. I appreciate every one of you, and I hope you take the time to comment. I’d love to get to know you. If someone were to ask me what my sign was this week, it would be Out…
Triskaidekaphobia and Other Big Ideas
This is a mish-mash sort of post. Just consider it my random brain dump – perfect for a Friday! Happy Friday the 13th. If you’re like me and oddly fascinated by all things superstitious, this is your day. I’m more of the morbid-curiosity type. I’m not superstitious, but I find it interesting to see where…
Eventually, They Get It
Today’s not a how-to advice-y kind of day. It’s a chat day. I’ve been burning it at both ends this week (thank you, NanoWriMo for sucking up my time). I have nothing left in me. This is what you get. If you don’t like it, move along. I’ll be back to normal soon. Got an…

Random Chum for a Friday
I may actually finish this large project I’ve been working on for what seems like months (but has actually been a week and a half). I could conceivably hand it over to the client by Monday. In order to do so, I may – are you sitting down? – work the weekend. Right now I’m…
McDonald’s Economics
Whether the current administration admits to a recession or not, we’re in one. How do I know? It’s simple – go to your local McDonald’s. You’ve been to one. Even I’ve been to one, and I’m a vegetarian (live for the fry-and-shake combination). Take a good listen to the person waiting on you. Notice anything…
Seven Truths of Freelancing
1. The longer the list of requirements in a job listing, the less the employer intends to pay. Go on. Look. Test this one out. Nine times out of ten, it’s absolutely spot on. 2. The amount of work you’re about to get is equal or greater to the amount of time you have to…
