I moved into an apartment where my super is out in the air shaft all the time; he and his family are coming and going out there until one o'clock in the morning. They had a kitchen table out there where they'd sit and smoke cigarettes and talk on the phone. I was wary about saying something cuz it's my super, but I…
An "in" is the several ways he could meet me half way. For example, I've stuck to sending only emails that have to do with class—however, I'd end the emails with something that I found in the news that had to do with the subject matter. This is the "in." He COULD have written back and started a conversation about the…
Ha! How perfect. I'm winding up a semester where I've got a hardcore crush on one of my professors. He's a young guy and I've flirted with him a little bit after class and via email. I've given him an "in" and he's not taken it, so I'm trying to take the hint that he's married, gay, taken, and/or not interested. So it…
Re: Alec Baldwin. I love 30 Rock and heard him when he called in to Adam Carolla and he seems like a cool dude. And then there's stories like this and the whole daughter phone rant and I just don't know!! I was addicted to the SIMS pretty hardcore, but even I wanted to get to where I was going. Getting to where you…
I know what Rihanna's going through; there was a time when I tried to hold down a 9-5 job and have a full-time stand-up comedy career. I was working all day and then going to the clubs at night. I was exhausted and started to have kooky, crazy, paranoid thoughts. I don't drink or do drugs so it wasn't that.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...! *shrieks like a little kid and runs into the kitchen to dig a spoon into the jar of generic peanut butter*
It's got crackpipes and sewing!
I did this! I did this today! I watched the video a bunch of times, bought a chicken, rolled up my sleeves and did it. And I haven't died of poisoning....yet.
I've done this: not necessarily the whole weekend, but I've turned off the computer and set a kitchen timer for 5 hours or so. Five hours without the internet is longer than you think. But I get a sh*t-ton done.
!! Good idea. I just moved into an apartment that came complete with bedbugs. I was thinking of naming my connection something like "123 Main has bedbugs" to get the word out to everyone.
I'm sure all that furniture is really expensive, but their living room has a case of the "hotel lobbys."
I like the pictures of the groom's package.
Every time your manager asks you to do something, ask yourself, "Is this something I really need to go to battle over, or could it possibly be a good idea?" If it's no big deal, I say just do it.
Miss Manners writes that pointing out a rudeness is a rudeness in itself. Amen.
I did a presentation in college (early 90s) after which the professor noticed I used the word "like" 26 times. I asked my friend and she said I used it a lot. *sigh* I think it's a nervous tic for me.
Anecdotal evidence: I've been jogging for three years and have never warmed up other than my walk to the track. Never had an injury.
I recently had to turn down a project for a new client because I knew I was going to be knee-deep in an apartment move. It killed me but I'm glad I did; there's no way I could have delivered.
I just moved and used the suitcase tip. Everything that I needed (chargers/pills/important papers) all went in the suitcase. I knew where everything was!
Ah, the last playing card of a desperate man—the suicide threat.
