“But unbeknownst to her, the Toyota Venza was a hybrid, so she could not hear its silent, deadly approach as she took that fatal step into the street….Todd paused, shrugging his shoulders, thinking to himself, ‘okay then’ and climbed into the now available Uber.” Maaaybeee?
Thanks for reading. I do disagree. In my personal experience and in working with hundreds of others–people are uniquely positioned and innately capable. I find effort is an important variable, but not a deciding factor. Focusing solely or mainly on “Nose to the grindstone” ing it is like spinning your wheels in place: the odometer goes up, but you’re not getting far.
Man, the “meet ‘n’ greet” sounds priceless. My friend Joanna and I used to do the “jaunt” in college post-bar close. Clove cigarettes and walking up and down College Ave (mostly to stay warm though).
You are way better off being un-impedingly social than a head-down lemming any day!
Thank you for reading. Job hunting is one of the most soul-bearing, vulnerable processes ever–and I think we need to do a better job honoring that. Sounds like you’re in a great place. Congrats!
Always do you first; I completely agree! What I was saying (and I guess could have made more clear) is that the best way to get what serves YOU best in the end is to be direct with others and clear up potential obstructions and confusion. Being in, or leaving someone with, lingering limbo energy is no bueno.
You have GOT to go back to and re-watch Ren & Stimpy and Rocko. The episodes are so blatantly unnerving it brings a new appreciation how ballsy (or “triggering”) they were twenty years ago.
The family bath?
“Oh baby oh baby oh”?
Also, where was ARCHER? Pam is my spirit animal.
I admit, “watching cartoons” is a cornerstone of my relationship with my husband. If he didn’t know who Meatwad was, I’d be married to someone else.

Wish I knew how to post giphs—perfect cue for the “Just Another Brick in the Wall” meat grinder scene.
Come to DC, we’ll have some effing awesome chili.
That is rough. I wish there was something more I can say–but it really just comes down to time, sweet time.
You’ll come out better on the other side; your head is in the right place.

You guys gotta start watching Fargo if you aren’t already. He’s priceless in it.
Cush! I think I had those at a wedding it Portland.Forget the name of the place. I am still thinking about them…
We don’t do this here.
My sister-in-law played her own bagpipes at her and my brother’s wedding. It was pretty bitchin’.
Prince Eric gettin after the nose candy. I hope he wears the epaulets to work.
Maybe re-read? I did marry that guy…
I bring a swimsuit on ALL trips. You never know where there will be a hot tub and I don’t want to feel left out. :/

Why not cast a wide net? If it’s good, it’s good.
Is the chick in the stock photo using some kind of international heat map app in attempt to track down a dude who’s ghosting her?
Hi Will: Thanks; they both fucking rock.
