My 10 favorite blog posts of 2009

January 10, 2010

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 [...]

My 2009 Person of the Year | FSU Football Coach Bobby Bowden

January 3, 2010

Welcome to 2010 folks.
The only thing that makes me sad about leaving 2009 behind and starting this #glorious new year is that Bobby Bowden is no longer the football coach at my alma mater, Florida State University.
I know FSU has sucked in football for quite a while now and a lot of people blame Coach [...]

Funny things my grandmother said

December 26, 2009

My grandmother is 87 years old, and she’s one of the most opinionated people I know.
She says a lot of really funny things, and I think what’s funniest is that she truly doesn’t realize the irony.
Anyway, it’s the holidays, and everyone is thinking and talking about family, so I thought I’d share a couple of [...]

10 words + phrases I don’t want to hear in 2010

December 26, 2009

It’s been quite a year.
I think 2009 has been a year that we won’t soon forget for a large number of reasons. Most of them not so great…though I think that the many unfortunate events of this year have inspired and spawned a lot of excellent ideas and movements.
I won’t lie. I’ll be extremely happy [...]

Unemployed? Consider contract work.

December 15, 2009

I know that many people who are seeking work focus on permanent positions without ever considering contract or freelance work.

ACTUAL MONEY!
That you can like, BUY STUFF WITH!!
If I had to guess, I [...]

How to not be rude to your co-workers

December 4, 2009

If one more person asks me “How’s your love life?” I’m going to punch them in the face.
Fortunately I learned a long time ago how to shut someone up really fast when they say that after I figured out that it’s always married men who ask single people such a rude and stupid question. (No [...]
