Peeves/d
2008-08-14 15:06:00 1. "This is the end of John Edwards' political career." I didn't care that Sen. Vitter "frequented" prostitutes, or a couple he especially liked. That's his business. That's his marriage, cash. intimate lies, unmet needs, etc. and I really don't care about the sex lives of people I'm not sleeping with. ...

Election Pet Peeves
2008-05-14 10:48:00 Election years always seem to bring out more pet peeves in me. Probably because the annoyances and reminders are everywhere.

Pet Peeves About My Daily Commute
2008-05-08 00:44:00 I am a eco-friendly commuter. I ride Portland’s buses and our wonderful (if a bit pricey) Tri-met LightRail system.

Pet Peeves No. 7
2008-03-14 20:57:00 This one has to do with books, and is threefold. First, poor bindings that crack and break after you've only read seventy pages; second, margins that are smaller than ¾-inch, because I like to make notes in the margins; and third, lousy paper that yellows far too quickly.Publishers, I'm more than willing to pay an extra $2 so that my book is not characterized by any of the above.(Rick, I can hear you agreeing emphatically.)technorati tags: books

2008-03-03 15:23:00 I have a particular disdain for the font Comic Sans MS. It's ugly and unprofessional. What is worse is when someone sends you an email in that font or blogs in that font and the font color is either blue or purple.Indeed, "the typeface has been used in countless contexts from restaurant signage to college exams to medical information. These widespread abuses of printed type threaten to erode the very foundations upon which centuries of typographic history are built" [source].Please stop. It's just wrong.Join the campaign to ban Comic Sans.technorati tags: font comic sans

Pet Peeves No. 5
2008-03-02 04:50:00 While apartment living is just fine for me, there is one major drawback that affects a gearhead like me: it is very difficult to do any work on your own car.This means more often than not relying on the grease monkeys at your average oil change center to do an oil and lube service for you. Their service might be alright, but I cringe a little every time someone I don't know touches my car, and even more so when they politely ask you to wait in the waiting area, from which---and I suppose it is only a coincidence---you cannot see the service bay.Not being able to give the car the regular TLC it deserves frustrates me. I do not like to neglect my vehicle. It causes me great distress. She ought to have much better than that.technorati tags: oil change car automotive

Pet Peeves
2008-02-20 18:22:00 I've been tagged by Grey Horse Matters for a rather fun game of pet peeves. This is a good way of "sounding off" and not only fun, but good for the soul! So I will try and limit mine to five, although once I get rolling, who knows what may show up on this post. Muhahah! Some of this may be related to the blogosphere and some may not.1) And this first one is NOT related to any of my fellow bloggers that I've met and respect out here, but there have been places I have visited with many a follower who will leave a comment, but then hide behind a made-up profile that is not accessable. If you have a statement to make or an opinion, please have the "kahunas" to stand behind that opinion and don't just follow the leader and hide. 2) What I learned, especially when I first got back into horses eight years ago and I especially noticed this in the horse world, is that everyone is an expert........It amazes me, the number of "horse people" (self proclaimed experts) that really don't know ...

Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway? 4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose... stop it! 5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home. 6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo Hoooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain. 7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back! 8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet. 9. Dog sweaters. Hello?? Haven't you noticed the fur? 10.

2007-12-29 00:09:00 Car manufacturers: this is (almost) 2008. If you are still producing cars that do less than 30 miles per gallon (7.8L/100km or 12.8km/L) at highway speeds, it's not worth advertising. I don't know who works in your marketing department, but this is not 1980 anymore, and that kind of fuel mileage is not a selling point.technorati tags: 2008 fuel mileage automaker car manufacturer 30mpg

Employer Pet Peeves: An Indian PR Firm Perspective from the Corner Room
2007-12-08 07:03:00 As a sequel to last week's article this week I want to showcase the view from the wrong end or right end of the shotgun barrel, depending on your status in the food chain.In a business, that is slowly maturing there is yet lots of road to travel down the professional path. The resource crunch pandemic is becoming a reality, as is the case with all other businesses; PR Firm's too like every other enterprise are seeking to keep, up skill and attract new talent!The above is a regular star in the everyday nightmare of a business leader in a PR Firm. The other cast include Mergers, buyout led account re-alignment. The loss of people can mean a lost account, worse loss of reputation and making it further harder to retain and hire and get general traction.Employer pet peeves further include offer letter terrorism. This is any interesting phenomenon that involves swimming the job market and stacking offers. While everyone wants to offer their services at the best price, the mechanics invo...

Are PR Firms People Friendly; Employee Pet Peeves!
2007-11-29 19:50:00 This week I want to talk about the state of the PR firm business. Are PR firms people friendly?What are the latest trends in human resource development that qualify for being people friendly and enable organizations to retain and yet allow employees or consultants to be productive, despite challenges of everyday life like large commuting distances, family emergencies, medical exigencies, maternity, or even something as common as burnout!The record of PR firms in this regard has been rather poor I must confess. The report card on the other side of the table in buy side roles, whether in marketing or communications, has not been exactly inspiring either though there are instances of evolved organizations that have understood the benefits of such policies in retaining talent and keeping rare skills and IP (Intellectual Property) sticky despite the challenges that cycles of life pose to a typical employee.So what are these things that make everyday life easier, yours and mine too?Teleco...

Pet peeves
2007-08-13 05:53:00 "Pet peeve" is a terrible metaphor. Pets are warm and drooly and something you like. Peeves are something which irritates the hell out of you, sometimes to an unnatural extreme. What annoys me to an unnatural extreme? Tonight it's pinheads who have garages but instead park their cars on the sidewalk because they think they have a right to do so by virtue of having a legally protected curb cut. More often than not, they've converted their garages into attic extensions, packed full with boxes of Christmas decorations and forgotten bicycles. They have no intention of using those garages for their vehicles, which was mandatory for city approval of their curb cuts. Then there are those black belt twits who not only park on the sidewalk but park their second cars at the curb cut so pedestrians have to walk into the middle of the street to pass by. Or, worse, rent out their curb cuts as parking spaces. You just know they're the first to cry foul when someone crowds their driveway...
