For those who have never ridden the Metra let me give you the scoop. Cranky old business people with a pissy attitude toward life. That being said, they pretty much suck the joy out of a potentially cool sitation. The train could be the raddest thing ever. The problem is people […]
At work, we sit in an unconventional hub of cubicles. The placement of the cubicles lends to a nearly perfect triangle, the points of which are me, Sarah and Alexis. Over the past few months, the three of us have grown pretty close. They’re the first two people at work that I’ve really forged any […]
Back to school, back to school,
To prove to Dad that I’m not a fool.
I’ve got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight,
I hope I don’t get in a fight!
Ooohhh, Back to school, back to school, back…to…school…
-Billy Madison (O’Doyle Rules!)
That’s right, kids. After an eternity of lounging around, I’m heading back into the real […]
Proof that advertising–the world of the acronym–is rubbing off on me.
This week has been TMTH (Thanks, Danny Noriega). I’ve been pulling some major OT for some client work for Q1 FY09. I’m also a bit PO’d because I’ve been on the WWW researching a typical career path for someone that’s working towards PMP certification. Basically, […]

Meet my new educational hero, Lisa Murphy, fondly dubbed the “Ooey Gooey Lady.”
Fan. Tas. Tic. That’s all I can say. She is an amazing presenter, and I would imagine, and even more amazing educator. She has such an incredible amount of knowledge and passion for true early childhood education. Love her! […]
Once the back-to-school season passed, Liz and I took advantage of buying cheap lunch boxes at Target. We were both trying to get more into the habit of packing lunch to save money, and it’s really wasteful to throw away a paper or plastic bag every day. What can I say, Chicago’s “green” lifestyle is […]
So, I received a call a while back from a recruiter at Harpo Productions. As in the company for THE Oprah Winfrey. I’m not even entirely sure how she got my name because I’m not actively seeking any change in employment. But of course, I called her back. I mean, it’s Oprah Winfrey. From what […]
Picture this if you will. It’s a blustery January morning, and I’ve just arrived at school, one wicked sinus infection in tow. It’s actually a chronic sinus infection that we are yet again antibiotic-ing to death. Because of this, I have no make-up on, and look a little shady. Red rimmed, […]
Microwave Oven-roasted alleged turkey and no-taste gravy, with mushy carrots and fake cornbread croutons. Don’t forget the appetizing raisin garnish!
Editor’s notes in bold.
And what did you have for lunch today?
