One should know that if you are wearing an Ivy League sweatshirt, the bar is set higher for you. This comment is directed to the kid sporting a Yale lacrosse sweatshirt who couldn't figure out how to pay the bus fare.
Details, Details
On every cover letter I sent out, I said I was detail-oriented. Sadly, that is not technically true. I hate the details, I'm all about the big picture, the grand idea, the sweeping gesture.
I want to be the person who says, "Invade Russia."
And then someone else figures out all the details. Is there a career path for that?
File Under "Dumb Things I've Said"
The scene: driving on a highway at 10 p.m. And.......action!
Me: Wow, look at the moon!
Mom: That's not the moon. That's a sign for Burger King.
Me: Wow, look at the moon!
Mom: That's not the moon. That's a sign for Burger King.
And by "A Lot" I Mean Two
I have a lot of dishes/cutlery with smiley faces on them.
They do a good job of cheering me up. "It's going to be a good day!" chirps the German cereal bowl when I pour my morning Kashi GoLean. The pink spoon says, "Hang in there, you're doing fine!"
"You're right, spaghetti-straining spoon," I think as I wash the dishes. "You're right about everything."
Dumb and Dumber
Spotted awhile ago in the H St parking lot.
And I Bought Some Pretty Shoes and a New CD...
I'm starting to sort of dread conversations with people from high school and my church who I haven't seen in awhile. I can see what our interactions will soon become....
Friend: Wow, I haven't seen you in ages! It's good to be back home, Grant and I just celebrated our second wedding anniversary in Chicago. His company transferred him and we're about to move to San Diego, isn't that exciting? And then I finally finished grad school, which is great timing since I found out I'm expecting, as you probably heard! So what's new with you?
Me: Well... I went to a really cool party last week.[Silence]Me: They had sliders there.
