I say talk to the manager and ask them about the openings. Be realistic and let them know how much you appreciate the atmosphere of the store and how you feel that you know you enjoy the business and want to move forward. If he/she says that they want to first consider people with more site experience, then that's…

I haven't done a lick of work. I will wake up ready to work hard for the money tomorrow.

Sesame Street - more consistent writing - longer shelf life - broader audience appeal. And, a bajillion frickin' Muppets. There is no other truly equal choice. How about the following -

Take the transfer. It shows management a willingness to do the necessary jobs where needed. It also shows loyalty to the time and investment they've put into you. It's offers better potential for grooming in advancement oppotuniites. Plus, I think a change of pace is always a good thing - you get the benefit of…

I want to see a pageant off between Tom Hanks, Neil Patrick Harris and Justin Bieber with his "unknown" secret twins.

What the fuck happened to this woman? I don't doubt that she was once a kind, hardworking kid who made opportunities happen through hard work. I want to know whether it was a gradual descent into mindfuckery or if she had some kind of asshat ephiphany.

Oh God - now I have Celebrity Penis Envy.

Stacy...oh no sweetie; you just kissed yourself off.

Augh...I said to my dear friend yesterday that I was afraid I was developing Alzheimer's because this is happening to me. She told me I'm not early stage anything - I've always been advanced stupid. Now I know that architecture is to blame.

I did not grade a single paper. I did not make a single plan. I did not cook a single thing. I spent the weekend lurching from the couch to the bathroom, to the couch, to the kitchen, to the couch. The only part of my Jabba-like weekend that involved any effort was a two mile leisurely walk through the park today.…

Thank you. I appreciate distracting shiny objects to tamp down on the stabby feeling the world sometimes gives me.

I think everyone feels this way at some point or on some continual level. But, that's the cost of living a life where you are lucky enough to have choices. You are always making the decision based on the information you have at that specific time. Or the feeling. Or the lack of emotional sway. What is important…

veganyumyum has nice recipes - check out recipe.com and better homes and gardens as well. Lots of good ideas at all of them. Make slow cooker veggie stock - freeze half and then puree all the veggies with some diced tofu in what's left in the pot and have great creamy veggie soup.

yummm....gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce....fire roasted vegetables.....dumplings...lots of dumplings....

If you are sniffling and sneezing and stuck inside, please go watch "Bill Cunningham New York" on Netflix streaming. It's an amazingly touching story about the NYT photographer of all things stylish and beautiful. You'll thank me.

3 emails from Gawker saying I commented on Jez today. However, the three comments weren't written by me and were posted when I wasn't using my home computer. Although, I really liked one of them and kinda wished I had written it. What to do?

Justin Timberlake is all kinds of dorky fucking cute. Apparently he's still channeling the "Bad Teacher" character.

As a reformed smoker, I say NO! On those days when I am desperate to smoke (but haven't since 2007), I love to be behind a car at a red light where the smoke drifts back to me and I breathe it in deeply. I know that's not any kind of reasonable defense of car smoking but it's all I have.

Absolutely agree! Quick, guest shot on Pan Am and Mad Men!

If I conceive an idea but don't follow through, am I criminally liable for letting my dreams die?
