10 reasons why gay marriage is wrong

Friday, March 31st, 2006

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even […]

when the cat is out, the mouse frolics

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

I realize I’ve been ranting a lot lately. Finally something fantastic has happened!
It is been a good week at work, yesseri. Except for the fact that my whole face is dripping mucus, I look like shit, and feel like a wounded bull. But, hey, the managing directors are out and about in their endless quest to convince bloated coffers […]

think slavery has been abolished?

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Once upon a time, around when I first moved to the glorious city of San Francisco, I couldn’t get a job because I didn’t have a residence. Ironically, I couldn’t rent anywhere because I didn’t have a job. You see how that can go on endlessly, don’t ya? It’s a vicious circle; comparable to the […]

the lost Dr. Seuss poem

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

I love my job!
I love my job!
Tons of work for a measly pay!
I love it more and more each day
I love the boss, he is the best
I love his boss and all the rest
I love my office and its gnarly location
I hate to have to go on vacation
I love the furniture, drab and grey
and piles of […]

gossip from neverland

Monday, March 27th, 2006

Neverland being that part of the world completely devoid of humanity and any resemblance to the workings of the rest of the world: Hollywood. This month has been ripe and busting with fodder for my blog:
Attacks on chairs - Seems like Tom Cruise is using his affair as an excuse to release all that pent […]

the birds, the bees, and my hormonal dog

Monday, March 27th, 2006

So, yes. It is officially spring!!! Love is in the air, quite literally.  Sunrise is met with melodious bird chirps and sundown is marked by meowing cats. Ahhhh. Spring.
Not to be outdone by the other species, my sexually frustrated dog has decided it’s time to try to convince his captors, yet again, that he should get […]

Dear Dell Computers

Friday, March 24th, 2006

I wish to complain about my brand new Dell computer. It’s spiffy, fast and sexy, BUT there is a part missing. This would be the button that when pressed once, makes all sorts of things happen. I think this is what the Managing Director is referring to, when he tells me to finish by noon today […]

executive assistant interview tips

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

Information that is never volunteered during the interview process but that would most definitely make the same difference:
1. You will do the dishes every day. If I ever mutter into the air “we need to run a dish cycle,” I really mean “you, get your hands in the dirty water.”
2. We expect you to be able […]

the SUV dichotomy

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Drove my car into the gas station to do my part in contributing to the bloody war and royally messing up the air we breathe (is not half the fun without the nasty soot). Anyway, there is this HUGE Escalade (or Escalator?) SUV parked in the next pump.
The conductor of this mammoth mobile contraption opened the […]

the capital call broken down

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Let’s say you are a VC and you have successfully conned rich people into plunking money in a new company no one ever heard of. The way you would collect this money is via a capital call. All the money is not called in at once but in installments. The schedule as you probably guessed, is […]
