Ah, the frenemy.
These people who disguise themselves as friends but are actually looking to do us harm are everywhere, especially in the workplace. (And thank you, Sex and the City, for giving us the vernacular. Before "frenemy," we were stuck with "backstabber," although, we must admit, that is equally as ...

Taking some time out of your busy day to read the blogs? What are you, bored or something?
There was recently and article on msn called "10 Careers to Avoid Boredom." Hmm, nice try, msn. But I'm not buying it.
Work: More fun than a trip ...

Well now. People are sure up in arms about this whole David Letterman sex scandal.
Color me surprised. I thought people would be upset because of the extortion aspect. Extortion = not cool, at least in my book.
But what is really getting people's goats is the whole "David Letterman had sex ...

What would you do with a hundred million dollars?
It's almost impossible to think of that sum of money. Would you buy a house? buy a car? tell your boss where to put that deadline? all of the above?
I'm talking, of course, about the great coworker unifier. Bigger than LOST. Bigger ...

Tempers are flaring.
A little error or a late deadline that you would normally let slide is suddenly a BIG F-ING DEAL.
And why can't that gabby coworker on the phone with her mom JUST SHUT UP ALREADY?
Hmmm.
We all complained when it rained all June (at least here in New York). Summer seems ...

We all leave jobs.
Whether voluntarily or, well, not so voluntarily, all good things must come to an end eventually. But, I don't think we are ever gone completely.

I'm not talking about that metaphorical stuff. I mean, when your cube is cleaned out and your bobble head is removed from ...

So you want a promotion?
Yeah, thought so. We all do. Who doesn't want more money, more authority, more power (*Insert Tim Allen grunts here*)?
OK, so how do you get one though, especially in this downturn economy?
Advancing your career is hard work!

Hello, all you muggles!
Are you excited to see what adventures Harry Potter, Ron, Hermione, and...uh...that bearded wizard guy will find next? They'll probably battle Ralph Fiennes again, and then hang out with the Wookie. Right? Or...um...eat more magic beans that taste like boogers? Yeah. Anyway, I'm super psyched to see it.
Look, ...

My coworker passed on a link to me from The New York Times about dealing with annoying coworkers. (I chose to not take it as a hint.) Anyway, the link leads to several questions about what to do about annoying coworkers in various situations.
I particularly liked the third question. (I'll ...

I saw The Proposal starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds this weekend. (Yes, my boyfriend is a patient, patient man. Guess this means I owe him a Megan Fox movie. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Crappy Premise, here I come.)
I know most of you were camped out at the movie ...
