Sudoku.

Sometimes I super greatly enjoy my sister. A selection from an IM convo:

[14:29] Sister: ur so smart
[14:29] Sister: no matter what daddy says
[14:31] Sister: seriously

Aroo?

Seriously, Disney has eggs?

Why?

ETA: Look, other people are confused too! http://jezebel.com/5146148/disney-eggs-theyre-eggs-by-disney

Fuck You, Penguin.

This might be my favorite website EVER. Seriously, I don't who writes it, what sex they are, what they look like, smell like or believe in, but I would marry them in an instant. We could look at pictures of animals and they'd make snarky comments, and I'd just laugh and laugh, and occasionally make Ellio's pizza or Eggo waffles for us both.

Heaven.

Restart.

So my beautiful and intelligent cousin Domenica has been assigned the task of keeping a blog, and writing in it three times a week for a class assignment. In a show of sisterly solidarity, I'm going to try to match her three.

We'll see if I can do it. I'm kind of leaning towards no, but I enjoy a challenge. Plus I don't think anyone checks this anymore which is oddly inspiring since I can say whatever the hell I want. Woo!

Best Seller

I think I'm going to write a book about job hunting. Possible titles include You Were One of the Top Candidates, But... and It Was Down to You and One Other Person, But...

I have been on countless interviews and applied for an even more countless number of jobs. I should use all the pointless knowledge I've gained for something good (and profitable).

I can share:
- excuses to get time off your current job (if applicable)
- how to pretend like you are paying attention to an interviewer
- how to cover when you realize you don't remember the question you are answering
- how to navigate Philadelphia parking
- what to do when a bird poops on your head before an interview
- the best places to change into interview clothes
- how to deal with the interviewer making you cry
- different ways to say "Wow, that sounds interesting" even when it doesn't
- how to handle asshole questions like "What animal describes you best?"

Seriously, how could it not be a best seller?!

Wear a Raincoat.

Random thought I had while waiting 56 weeks for the pharmacist to package my drugs: Why is the condom and lubricant aisle at the drugstore categorized under "Family Planning"? Isn't buying condoms more of preventing a family than planning one? I feel it should be renamed to Contraceptives and Other Stuff. They may need to work on that end part though.

A blonde walks into a bar...

One nice thing about my job [I know! Not a complaint, a nice thing!] is that the majority of people I deal with on a daily basis, I have never met face-to-face; our clients are all over the country and so is most of the staff. It's a pretty good deal, they call and talk, and I roll my eyes and listen.

Today I met one of the managers who lives in California that I talk to daily. It was totally hilarious to meet her because she took one look at me and said, "You're not blonde!" She pictured me as a "very tall blonde."

So not only do I sound blonde on the phone, but also tall. Go me.
