Best reminder ever! Thank you!

You make me very happy, thank you!

One of the things I really enjoy about my home is thinking about how much some potential buyer will love what I'm doing. Remodeled the living room and added a stone fireplace that really stands out. I envision how that's going to be a selling point, something buyers remember as they go from house to house. We replaced

I bought a dust buster. Every few days I go and get the obvious tufts using that. After awhile you'll notice the tufts appear in only certain places of the house, so you have to just learn those and hit the hotspots.

When I was job hunting several years ago, the recruiter I was working with wouldn't even submit my resume to a company that listed a PMP certification as one of their requirements. They told me that at that company, you just didn't have a chance at a project management job without being a certified PMP.

Job titles aren't important as long as the compensation and bonus (if any) are good. If you got an increase in money, enjoy it!

I was really hesitant to try a Google Reader replacement. It wasn't until last week that I started to get remotely serious about it. I had opened up all the various accounts and "synced" with Google Reader. Feedly, Old Reader, a bunch of others I can't remember. Then I promptly went back to Google Reader.

Weber Summit!

I deliberately removed all personal belongings from my cubicle at my last job, when the hours became so bad that I had to work from home just so I could have at least some semblance of a home life. (I lived an hour from work, and had to work until 7 every night during the week, plus Tu & Thu overnight, and on Sat &

Girls shouldn't dress like sluts. Boys shouldn't dress like gangsters. School should be about learning, not showing off your navel. It's not the girls' responsibility but they should dress responsibly. Clearly, you're of the "blame everyone else" school of thought - taking personal responsibility to look presentable

Don't dress like a whore at school. Problem solved.

This is bullshit. The way they randomly drop their services, we never know what Google's "flavor of the month" will be next year. Will they keep supporting Google voice? What about Gmail for our own domains? What if they decide Android OS just isn't profitable enough for them?

I know, right? Jez writers are so fucking ignorant they write "diseased residents" because they're too stupid to know the word "deceased". Who unleashed the fifth graders on the Jezabitch writing staff?

Jez writers are failures at everything else. That's why this is the only form of "journalism" they are hired to do. Monkeys at typewriters, nothing better. Always good for a laugh at their stupidity.

"a diseased resident" - OK I get it. Jezebel really is just a bunch of monkeys at typewriters! Hahaha!

I used to decorate my cubicle. I found it a lot of fun when I stripped it down to bare bones and my boss called me freaking out. I did leave the company about 3 months later, but the undecorating of my cubicle was basically a, "Yeah I am hoping to leave you fucking assholes soon" move.

I met Wolf Blitzer in a Georgetown parking garage my first night living up in DC. I was so star struck, just out of college, journalism major and all. He was very nice.

Small world! A guy I work with was on that cruise. When he got back from vacation I asked him how it was and he told me all about the Carrie Fischer brou-ha-ha. They're saying it's due to her BPD, but she was pretty loaded. I don't have firsthand experience with BPD, but the secondhand experience I have - people don't

They aren't going to keep the best talent that way... that's for sure.

Oh you're better than I am. I used to have a daily call from 9-10am that was 95% listening, 5% contributing. I'd do laundry while listening via my headset. Amazing how quickly you can sort socks when you're in a call.
