Mr. Inter-Office Male 2008-05-06 10:14:00 Last week I had an unexpected run in with my organization's "Inter
-Office Male". You know, that one guy who's managed to date/sleep with/relationshiptize several women in the company/organization/office. Usually I try to keep my distance from said man, because of his reputation. Emails to him are kept to a minimum. If I have an issue that involves him helping me, I usually contact someone else in his office first. Basically I avoid him like the plaque.From my HR/EEO background there are a few things I raise my eyebrow to, and that's inter-office romances/relationships. To me, it's a known rule of thumb not to have them and I've even worked for corporations/organizations that had policies on them. So when I heard about his reputation, the scarlet letter was immediately thrown on his forehea
Mommie Dearest 2008-05-09 12:07:00 "No more wire hangers, no more wire hangers!", I'm not sure why every time I see that scene in, "Mommie Dearest", I practically die from laughter. I think I might have watched that movie about forty-eleven times growing up. It seemed as though it aired about once a month on the new defunct WPIX Channel 11 in the NYC/NJ area.As a child, I can honestly say I didn't have it to bad. My sisters/brother & I were far from being spoiled kids, but we also clearly recognized the boundaries and when NOT to cross the line. Once we crossed that line, we knew there were always going to be some serious repercussions & ramifications.I think I had it particularly hard because I was the oldest. I also got the "You Need To Set An Example" lecture. But in the back of my mind, I said, "Damn an example
Moldy Men 2008-05-12 06:20:00 To the right, that's a piece of molded bread. Molding is a natural process for bread once it's been sitting around after about two weeks. Eventually it starts to get that moldy smell, and soon the spores sprout and mold forms. It not only happens to bread, but just about anything if you let it sit around long enough.Even men.Have you ever met a man that you weren't immediately attracted to? You ha
There She Blows! 2008-05-13 20:43:00 Last Wednesday was the last time I was able to breathe through my nose! Last Thursday was the last time I was able to taste any food. Today it feels as though I have a golf ball stuck in my throat. I seriously hate being sick!I haven't been into my office since last Wednesday. I'm the type of person who refuses to walk around the office sneezing, coughing and spreading my germs, and I appreciate
Saturday Morning Videos- NKOTB 2008-05-17 09:25:00 Growing up my older cousin always had posters of New Edition on her bedroom walls. Buttons with the faces of Ralph and Ronnie were always hanging from her favorite pair of blue Levi jeans. I truly didn't understand her fascination with New Edition. She would cry when I called them ugly, because in my opinion, they looked like various science fiction movie characters. I was definitely not 'feeling' Read more:Saturday

My Summer Staple 2008-05-22 11:11:00 During the Summer
season my main staple pieces when it comes to clothing is a jean skirt, a t-shirt and a pair of flip-flops. I think I own about 20 different types of jean skirts. From the vintage frayed bottoms to the short mini skirts that are not suitable for bending over in. My graphic t-shirt collection is forever expanding, I must have about 30+ vintage t-shirts. From my pink Assata Shakur
Internet Predators 2008-05-21 09:46:00 I'm sure everyone has seen Chris Matthew's Dateline series, To Catch A Predator. There's always some dumb pedophile being caught with his pants down (literally) while they've been trying to solicit sex from minors via the internet. It never ceases to amaze me, that after the airing of these shows, there are men/women out there who insist on trolling the internet to lure young boys & girls.Last Read more:Internet

No Child Left Behind: Color Consciousness in Adopting 2008-05-28 07:24:00 In 6th grade I had a very close friend named Parminder, I think we both got along because we were quiet and kept to ourselves. The one thing that always intrigued me about Parminder, was the contrast between her skin tone and hair. She had the blackest hair I had ever seen, and her skin was the color of copper. It was rare occurance for Parminder and I to see each other outside of school, but one Read more:Color

I'm Leaving On The Next Plane 2008-05-31 04:52:00 Here it is, another summer of work related conference travel. It seems as though between May-August, I spend more time in an airport terminal instead of my own house. I typically don't complain much but, when my travel coordinator decides she wants to put me on a 7 am flight to San Diego on a Saturday morning that's when I become a little perturbed! So I'm sitting here waiting for my ride (THANKS, Read more:Leaving

It Never Rains In Southern California 2008-06-05 15:32:00 This morning around 1 a.m, after a huge weather inflicted 3 hr plane delay in Charlotte, my plane finally landed at BWI/Thurgood Marshall airport. I never felt such a relief to be back in the MD area in such a long time. After spending almost 5 days on the West coast in San Diego, I've come to appreciate the DMV (DC/MD/VA) a whole lot more.Yes, San Diego is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. From Read more:Southern

Whitey vs Cunt 2008-06-08 22:30:00 So Michelle Obama gets caught using the term, 'whitey', and McCain has called his wife a 'cunt'. I really see how 'whitey' can really make white people feel bad. After all of those years of oppression, slavery, the racism that was directed towards them, et. al, no one deserves to be referred to as 'whitey' (insert sarcasm).Cunt, hmmm...for some reason that term really pisses a woman off, especiall
Roughing It 2008-06-12 08:57:00 A few weeks ago a friend of mine suggested that this summer we take a camping and white water rafting trip. He always told me about how he likes to 'rough it' when he goes on these excursions. I'm figuring being that he's already been in not one, but two wars (Desert Storm & Dubya Bush's Lie), that this would truly be a 'roughing it' experience.Now, I'll be the first to say it, but I'm not ex
Dear R. Kelly: 2008-06-13 14:12:00 I guess money does buy alot of things! I'm not sure how much you paid the girl's family or even the girl herself, but you'll eventually have to only answer to one person. I hope your daughters never come across someone as vile and filthy as yourself.I was so hoping that you'd be marked with the scarlet letter of "PEDOPHILE", but a jury has just given their not guilty verdict. I've never been a fan

Last nights game was unbelievable, I was jumping up and down (knee brace and all) at the remarkable come back.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words.... 2008-06-18 07:27:00 and 17 championships!A few minutes into the 2nd quarter, I told my friend that it was OVER for the Lakers. He didn't believe me at first. But the Celtic's lead kept on getting larger. The Lakers looked as though they didn't know what was going on, on the court. Needless to say, I told him I was going to bed because I already knew what the outcome would be. He stayed up, hoping and praying that the Read more:Picture

I Got A Six Shooter & A Horse Named Trigger 2008-06-28 07:13:00 All of my life I've had a fascination with guns. I used to follow my uncles to the range and sit there with sheer fascination. Every time a gun would go off, it would send goosebumps through my body. Back then, I knew when I got older I wanted a job where I'd be able to use weapons, responsibly. I think I was the only little girl who had dreams of being a detective or sharp shooter. Go figure. Ins Read more:Shooter

The Art of Reciprocity 2008-06-27 13:21:00 I often wonder why I give people the benefit of the doubt and is it even worth it any more? Bending over backwards for people and not receiving reciprocation has definitely ran its course. I've always been the type to make sure the people who are around me are well taken care of, friends and family included.I remember the first time I heard Lauryn Hill sing about reciprocity in her song, "Ex-Facto
Don't Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth? 2008-06-24 10:30:00 I received an email yesterday from a random smart ass who thought they were being funny. They asked, "Well, do you smell (fŭng'kē)?". At first I wasn't even going to bother to respond, but it did make me laugh a little. So after I thanked them for being my comedy relief for the day, I explained to them the context I choose to use the word in. Simply put, (fŭng'kē), as in style and attitude not Read more:Horse

Bottom line is that I need motivation and pain medication. No, I'm not an abuser of prescription pills, but recently, I've been suffering from a lot of joint & mus
