Ummm... only if you pay for them and don't invite me.

I had a 41 year old ask me out for drinks today. At first, I thought it was a joke - I remembered laughing at 30 Rock when older women called themselves 'cougars' and aggressively perused younger men. Ha! What a show...

But then I realized she was seriously asking that I meet her at George's in Durham by 9:00. I wanted someone to come pull me out of the situation with speed and grace, like the way parents pull a baby out of a high chair as he's crapping himself.

I think, in a lot of ways, I would have rather died.


P.S. Here are some dumb looking kids that
make me feel better about my day

But it's time to give it up. It looks like a poodle hair hung over his lips.

The internal memo I wish I could circulate to my staff

I object to the gross overuse of slang describing things in our professional workplace. ‘Ghetto’ is no way to describe the status of a million dollar building installation. 'Skank-ass' is not a suitable euphemism for the degrading clean suits used in static-free room. ‘Gay’ is not a verbal placeholder for ‘non functioning’. Please only use the term ‘fag’ to describe a British brand cigarette, not users in the A-wing. And please, for the love of God, do not point strongly at my bosses with your fingers while shooting. The sound of fake gun noises does not help.
