NYC Sight-seeing
2007-11-06 19:16:00 One thing people who visit NYC often are amazed by are the GIANT piles of garbage lining the streets. We have a pretty huge Home Depot now here in the city, yet they must not sell a ton of garbage cans because nobody ever uses them! It's quite no...

I Quit!! Really I Did!!
2007-10-30 02:19:00 Yes, I quit my job the other week. I haven't had a chance to post about it because I've been getting drunk and celebrating FAR too much. So, below is the e-mail that went out to the entire company about my quitting. Is it just me or is this e-mai... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: Quit

Really? There are four-inch hairs there?
2007-10-22 18:13:00 Well, I just got back to work after a few days off. My parents were in town visiting. I have to say first, for their age, my parents really look good. They're still attractive, lively, healthy and fun to be around. And, man, can they knock back t... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: Inch , Ally
Why so many ugly people?
2007-10-15 04:11:00 You know that saying. The one ugly people can't quote enough - "Beauty's on the inside." Well, all I can say is that is crap! In today's society there are so many physically beautiful people because there are equally as many medical advances to e... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: People , Ugly
Fainting
2007-10-12 22:31:00 This is REALLY embarrassing, but I will admit that I watch America's Funniest Home Videos, or as I call it, AFV. I'm sorry! The shit is funny! I just amazes me how many people fall down, like, ALL THE TIME! There's always those idiots on trampol... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: Fain
Kids are Assholes
2007-10-11 03:55:00 OK, don't get all pissed off and rowdy! Yes, it's true, most of my good friends (you know who you are) have kids. Let me just say that YOUR kids are not assholes - at least I would never tell you that to your face. But, seriously, I don't get the...

Baldy on the Bus
2007-10-05 05:19:00 Honestly, I think everything about comb-overs has been said before. Yes, they're weird and scary and certainly not fooling anyone into thinking you have hair. The only thing I feel I need to say here is NYC is fucking awesome! In what other plac... Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Ned the E-mailer
2007-10-03 16:57:00 I work with this guy, Ned, who is a habitual e-mail writer and sender. His problem is that he refuses to read e-mails. For instance, I might get an e-mail from one of our bosses and Ned will be cc’ed on it. First off, in my mind, if someone is ... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: Mailer
It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
2007-10-01 17:16:00 As I've perused the various blogs on Vox, I've noticed a common thread - photography. Bloggers seem to enjoy sharing photos of nature in their backyard or flowers on their walk route or I've even seen photos of cups of coffee or prepared meals, w...

Pizza and Salad in the Kitchen (EOM)
2007-09-27 15:59:00 This is the subject line of the company-wide e-mail that goes out every day around 3 or 4 p.m. It's extremely disruptive as it prompts a rumbling of co-worker cattle stampeding to the given location to prey on food THAT'S ALREADY BEEN EATEN!!

Celebrity Sighting!

Trashing the Towers
2007-09-24 20:19:00 I spent part of the weekend doing some fall cleaning. I know, most people do it in spring. I do it in the fall. Actually, come to think of it, I really don't have a schedule. I just wait until my tiny Manhattan apartment is so loaded up with crap... Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Poop is Everywhere
2007-09-24 18:56:00 I was just in the bathroom at work and I noticed a co-worker with one of those crazy germaphobia washing routines. She washed her hands - scrubbed them actually - for a good two minutes. Then, she left the water running while she got a stack of p... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: Poop
Passenger in a Coma in Bright Green Crocs
2007-09-20 21:13:00 Sleeping on public transportation is quite common. I'm not sure how. I certainly can never sleep. I'm too busy giving dirty looks and elbowing people, not to mention collecting my eyes up off the floor because they've fallen out from too much rol...

A Giant Disappointment
2007-09-17 19:43:00 Well, we're 2-0! I went to Giant s Stadium this weekend to check out the game against the Green Bay Packers. While I live in NYC, I was rooting for The Pack. Ever since I was a little girl when they won Super Bowl I, I've been a big fan. Although ... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: Disappointment , Sapp
Clever Phrases for Stupid People
2007-09-12 23:20:00 I just got out of a HELLISH meeting. Yes, much to my disgruntlement and frustration, my vocation involves trying to withstand the brainless corporate world.

Delivering a Soul Mate
2007-09-10 20:51:00 I'm still single. Never been married. And at my age, I pretty much just assume I will die alone. Once in awhile, though, I'll get motivated to get out there and date a little bit - or at least get laid. This time, I decided to cut to the chase. N...

The APL
2007-09-06 17:34:00 So I stopped by Starbucks on my way to the office this morning. While I was waiting for my coffee order, I wanted to quick pop into the bathroom and wash the NYC public transportation off my hands. There was a line for the bathroom. And like any ...

Carpet on the bus?
2007-08-30 03:15:00 I've realized that much of my life is spent bitching about NYC public transportation. Well, maybe not the transportation part, but definitely the public part. Why are people so crazy? I'm on the M10 bus tonight and this jackass gets on with a GIA... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: Carpet
Buh-Bye
2007-08-30 02:23:00 OK, so I'm talking to a girlfriend of mine the other day and she tells me she just found out the guy she's dating is bi-sexual. AND she wonders what she should do. Well, in my opinion there is no such thing as a bi-sexual man. He's really just a ... Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Love the Dip!
2007-08-27 23:55:00 I recently went out with some people for fondue. I would have never thought I'd join in that kind of activity, as I've always been grossed out by food sharing of any kind. I was that kid who never let you have a sip of soda - even if you were jus... Read and post comments | Send to a friend More About: Love , The D
Oh, The Inhumanity!
2007-08-23 19:35:00 You know, even at my age, I still work a full time job. I insist on staying active as long as I am able. What's interesting to me is that despite working an 8-hour-day every day, the most eventful time for me each day is my commute on NYC public... Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Rain makes my arthritis act up
More articles from this author:2007-08-21 20:38:00 One of the worst things about living in New York City is when it rains. It all began this morning when I realized I had lost my umbrella - my really expensive, automatic Nautica umbrella that fits perfectly in my pocketbook. It dawned on me, duri...
