I am still just over-the-top giddy that 2009 is 1-800-OVER and that we are starting 2010 with a bang.
Dear 2009, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
A$%hole.
So, in that spirit, I thought I’d share with you a few of my favorite posts from last year.
Please note that many most of them involve me making fun of stuff.
It’s just who I am.
Below each link I have posted a [very] brief excerpt from the post to give you an idea of what it’s about.
Enjoy! 
75 reasons you didn’t get the job
…go delete those blog posts [you know which ones I'm talking about] and take down those pictures from your bachelor party on Facebook.
If you say “Twittering” one more time you’re fired. I MEAN IT.
Twitter is a noun not a verb. If you say “I’m Twittering” one more time you’re fired. I MEAN IT.
Please stop poking me. It’s rude.
If I were a hacker I would do something useful with my superpowers like DISABLE ALL QUIZZES ON FACEBOOK.
Twitter is good for expanding your vocabulary and learning new ways to spell words like “tmrw” and “srsly” and “UR.”
My very first blog was the WORST. BLOG. EVER. And why you should write one too. The sequel.
Why I think you should write a blog:
- You need a job.
- You want to keep the job you have.
- You want to advance your career.
- You want to have more than just one stream of income (i.e., a salary).
- You need to continue building and developing your network so you can do any and all of the above.
The Devil really does wear Prada — Part I and The Devil really does wear Prada — Part II
The problem was that despite my best efforts she would never fire me. Once I was even like 20 minutes late and I didn’t call her AND I walked in with breakfast and coffee from Chick Fil A and I did not buy any for her and she still didn’t fire me. And one time I did not email those stupid fake reports to her by the 5:00 pm Friday deadline. I didn’t even email them to her until right before our 10:00 am meeting on Monday. Boy did that piss her off. Still not fired. Also one Friday that I just could not make myself go in to that office I sent her a cryptic email from my Blackberry saying I had to go to out of town for the weekend for a family emergency (I didn’t) and I did not return any of her calls or emails and I really really enjoyed my long weekend away from her.
He Said, She Said – Volume 4 | Healing the customer’s brand relationship
As you may have read in previous posts on my blog, I’ve had some trouble with Sears over the past ten days. I thought it might be constructive to provide some ideas for the CEO and executive team at Sears, so we took today’s episode straight to their door…
Do you have the guts to tell us who you really are?
…do you want to know what my dream job really is? Hanging out with the love of my life in our PJs all day and earning enough money to support our rock star life by blogging.
This is what video blogging really looks like
Rather than share an excerpt with you on this one, I will tell you that the reason I chose it is because it is real. It is raw. At the time it felt a bit — almost embarrassing? — to post it. And then 5 seconds later I did not care. It is what it is. I hope this one helped you and/or others to be more relaxed about video blogging and maybe even helped you to dive in to it yourself!
How can you keep from drowning in the Sea of the Unemployed?
If you focus on giving – on serving others – rather than continually thinking about what it is that you want and you need, perhaps you will finally figure out just how to stand out above the Sea of the Unemployed that is surrounding you.

So, for you bloggers and non-bloggers alike, I want to know what is YOUR fav blog post of 2009? Whether you wrote it or read it, I am asking you to share it with me.
After all, it took me like 2 weeks to put this darn post together for you so it’s the least you can do…

Stephanie, I agree with your top pick. The one I liked best was the 75 reasons you did not get the job and the top worst 10 tweets of all time. Both of these posts show case your creativity and wit. Have greatly enjoyed your blog. Have a great 2010! Marguerite
Hi Marguerite,
Thanks so much! Yes, those were a lot of fun to write.
Hope you are well and Happy New Year to you, too!
