We lost a good woman today ladies and gentleman. We lost a kind and decent, gentle flower of a sweet older woman. We lost one of my favorites. Estelle Getty died today at the age of 81 from dementia (that’s GOT to suck) and The Golden Girls just got a little less golden. You no […]
Anyone who has known me for a time knows one definite thing about me. I hate to be startled. It is not funny to leap out from behind a door and scream at me. It is not high comedy to drop a loud cup on the kitchen floor as I’m standing there. I hate when […]
Today on my way to work I was behind a “rodent reducer” truck. He was from the other side of town and in my neck of the woods at 6:30am. Why would I notice that, because it was very early to see a license plate from another county which is an hour away? This is […]
I like to think that, given the chance, I could bench press 300 lbs off my chest three or four times. Here’s the funny thing; I’m 5 ’10, weigh 180 lbs…there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that I can get 300 lbs off my chest unless that 300 lbs is an ugly woman that’s […]
Resume presented…Initial interview scheduled…Candidate fully prepped…Candidate nails interview…Glowing feedback from client…and then the music stops and there’s complete silence.We’ve all heard it before and we’ve all experienced it before…If you snooze, you lose! It is just that simple. Period. When you allow a search to come to a screeching halt, any existing momentum fizzles out […]
Sometimes things are not as they appear. Sometimes we think we know what we’re looking at/dealing with only to find out that it’s completely different. Like that girl that I went out with a couple of years ago only to find out that she had an Adam’s apple and a peni…anyway, I’ve shared too much.Think […]
So we’ve all been here before…where today’s the ump-teenth time that you’ve heard “I’ll have feedback back for you soon”. Yet another day passes, so you pick up the phone and leave another lovely voice mail asking for feedback and you shoot over a quick email practically begging for anything. A few hours pass and […]
I recently had a candidate interview at a kick-ass agency. You would think she would be over the moon to be considered for this position. A nice raise, cool accounts, the prestige of her name on that business card. But, instead, she came away with a whole lot of questions.
I think sometimes hiring managers get […]
What the blue blazes is in the air? Everyone is busy at the same time and on vacation while working post production with a sinus infection.
Come on people we are your business partner. We work with you. You wanted this particular person to come and work for you. Communicate and let us know what the […]
I’m blurry-eyed, sleepless…barely able to see this morning. There are tiny little kittens running around the office…I’m not quite sure where they came from…they’re pretty damn cute though…and I hate cats for the most part. Bananarama is on the radio. Bananarama? Really? That was what you came up with during the all night “what should […]
I feel a little bit left of center right now. I am the very definition of comatose. You know that feeling you have where you’re thinking to yourself “I’m not asleep right now” only to jerk your head back so hard that you pull your spine out of alignment and realize that you were out…but […]
I used to date this guy in my 20s (who shall remain nameless) who was under the misconception that he could do better than me. This probably comes across as a bit cocky on my part, but allow me to explain.
I was twenty-two and HOT. I had a real job, made lots of money, […]
My normal daily routine is just that…a normal and pretty consistent daily routine. I eat 6 times a day (four times at work) and I eat at the same time every single day. At exactly noon each day, I have my third meal (which we’ll refer to as lunch) and I troll around on ESPN.com […]
One time, my husband and I went to Puerto Rico and, since my foreign language classes consisted of Latin and French (read: useless), I was a bit worried about the prospect of Spanish. He assured me that he was On. It. His extensive training in high school and college Spanish would fare us well.Flash forward […]
If it makes you look ten years younger, smells like a gardenia bush, is minty fresh, whitens and brightens, gives a golden hue, fluffs and is powdery fresh, well it’s in my bathroom. The medicinal cabinet and closet are filled with impulse, insecurity and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
There is the skin cream to make […]
Wanna know how my weekend went? I went out with a girl Saturday night who thought Hawaii was a country. Whu? There’s nothing more disappointing than meeting someone who seems like a unique individual, has the looks to go with it but is dumb as a box of hammers.
I’m an arrogant prick most of the […]
So, I know it’s been a little while since I’ve written. Yes, I’m a terrible person. We spent that summer together at the beach, gazed into each other’s eyes and professed our undying love to each other. I told you I’d write and then…nothing. You waited eagerly, checking the site like Ralphy checking the mailbox […]
My six year old son has actually been known to yell at the clock at bedtime as if that damn clock is the culprit that is making him go to bed at 8:00 pm. “Nooooo! It can’t be 8:00 yet! I still need to ride my bike some more!!!”
Like him, I’d love an extra few […]
Polly needs some feedback.
So last week in the news there was this African grey parrot in Japan that flew out of his cage and became lost. He was rescued by the police from the roof of a neighbor’s near by house. He spent one night in the station without saying a word to the cops. […]
We are a fortunate recruiting firm in that our clients often count on us to fill multiple positions simultaneously. It may be a matter of winning some new business and now they have a whole team to assemble. Or, perhaps it just works out that they need a Media Director, an AE, and a Traffic […]
