Is there such a thing as workspace related menopause? Because I have some serious hot flashes at work. I will be freezing cold with icicle fingers and then 20 minutes later be sweating with a bright red face.

Ugh. Technology.
Picked up my new HD set top box from Verizon on Friday before I left for Pensacola. Tried to set it up and it just kept saying “Installation Failed”.

returned my textbook to Barnes & Noble
picked up my dry cleaning
picked up bandaids & neosporin to keep my open mole-removal wound covered so I don’t get a scar
All that is left before my flight to Pensacola is packing, drying my hair...
Dear boy in front of me,
I can see your laptop. Which means that I can see you scoping the class roster and trying to creep my fb page. Too bad my privacy settings have my profile on lock. Sad day for you.
Be smarter,

Jersey Shore
I happen to have a weakness for trashy reality tv. I have watched every episode of 16&Pregnant, Teen Mom, Jersey Shore, and the like.
That being said, I don’t think any group (ethnic, age, background) can be judged based on what is put on reality tv. I also don’t think you can ever truly judge a group of people based on your interactions with a limited selection of members. Do...
