Happy Holidays! It's hard to forget about the commercial nature of the holidays, especially when you're in the mall trying to avoid an elbow to the face (unintentional, of course...it's just that you're short, and the store is the sardine tin you are trapped in with the city's entire population) and wondering why you're putting yourself through shopping hell.
But just remember, the holidays are not about shopping (yes, this is coming from someone in retail), it's about giving. And family and friends. And being nice to everyone. And next year, embrace online shopping.

Dear Supermarket Bagperson: I don't know if you know this, but you do not win a prize if you can fit 100% of my groceries into one bag. Especially when I have provided you with two bags. Extra especially when piling everything into one bag results in a load so heavy that it makes me wish I had a back brace with me. It's not a contest, okay?

Farewell, Steve Jobs. It is always sad when someone passes away, especially after such a long bout with cancer, but it still seems so bizarre to feel as sad as I do about the passing of a CEO. A CEO! But when I think about how I take for granted how I navigate my computer's hard drive, how I buy music, how I can't live without my iPod, and how I have come to expect both sleek design AND function in the electronics I purchase, whether from Apple or not, I can't help but marvel about how his vision has impacted my life and changed the world. What a truly amazing legacy.

Mini-Rant of the Day. I hate it when restaurants serve salads where the leafy greens (or anything other ingredient, for that matter) are not cut into bite size pieces. Exactly how do they expect me to fit an entire romaine leaf into my mouth? Plus, those leaves are coated with dressing, so it's not like I can stuff it in my mouth without getting dressing sprayed all over the table, my face, and my clothes. And of course they've provided me with only one utensil, a fork, with which to make pathetic repeated attempts at leaf origami. Lame! Lame! Lame!

Happy Belated Halloween! I couldn't post this last week when I actually heard it because I had no breathing room between getting home from work and hightailing it to the airport for my flight to Washington, DC, for the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear (more on that later). Anyway, this is the kind of stuff I overhear in the office.
Co-worker 1: Oh my gosh, my friend is going to be Snooki for Halloween! That will be awesome because she totally looks like Snooki.

Never Say No... ...to Panda. Cut the Line shared this Egyptian ad with me. I thought pandas only manipulated us with their cuteness. But apparently, they've got other methods too.
