Recession-Proof Your Career

What a scarry time this is for our economy - Thanks Dubya. I read in the WSJ this morning how to recession-proof your career (and search for jobs in this possible recession). Have a read here.

Idiots and Igloos

I am a regular reader of TowleRoad, and earlier today he reminded us of one more reason NOT to vote for Mike Huckabee. The video below is a classic from the CBC's Mercer Report. If you hang on to the end, you will understand why there is one more reason (in addition to his hatred of gays and disbelief in evolution) Mr. Huckabee should stay in Arkansas and leave Washington politics to those with at least 2 brain cells to rub together. More on Rick Mercer here, and his blog is here - it's worth a read.

Shut up and drive

I have more in common with a 19-year old female R&B singer than you might think. On my way to work this morning, I was so into listening to the new Star 94 Morning Mess, (bye, bye Bert Show - you don't have a chance) when I almost drove into the back of a produce delivery truck! You know I have no problem with running in to the back of fruits, but it was to early in the morning. You are also probably thinking that it was my fault, but when I turned to scold the driver with my icy stare I noticed that he had purposely stopped his truck (as he turned into a parking lot) so he could visually react to some (apparently) shocking information he had just learned while talking on his cell phone.

Unless he is the new Paris Hilton (and I seriously doubt E! is following the wild antics of a produce truck driver in Atlanta) nobody is there to see or enjoy his facial expressions except for the person about to become intimate with the fruit in his rear. Drama queen. I have said it since my mom got her first Zack Morris-style cell phone, "If you can't talk on your phone and drive at the same time, hang up!"

Apparently the scientists agree with me. It is all over the Internet today. People should listen to Rihanna, and now maybe people will adjust their habits, because my 11-minute commute should only take me eight!

Happy New Queer, I mean Year - Happy New Year

So it has been almost a month, but I have been busy and visiting family over the holidays, but one of my resolutions is to post more regularly - I have something to share (or vent - you decide). The reason I started this blog was the approach of my 29th birthday (and therefore, my impending 30th). There are so many things I want to accomplish before then, and I thought if I share those thoughts with others, I might be held accountable. Hence the new badge on the side from Joe's Goals. Now my secrets are out, and you will be able to call me out if I am not traking appropriately. The app is simple to use, you should try it. Let's get 2008 started with one of my favorite comedians, Demetri Martin. Enjoy
