You know that euphoric feeling you get when you get offered a new job? The sky seems bluer, the birds seem chirpy-er, and everyone seems like they are ready to burst into song like you're starring in some sort of Broadway musical or something.
Imagine that, and then imagine the job ...

You know the visceral reaction you sometimes get when you hear something painfully embarrassing that someone else did (or when you see someone get a fly ball to the groin, for example)? Well, prepare yourself for such a moment:
My friend, let's call her Petunia, is currently not happy with her job, ...

And you thought that the perfume your coworker wears was bad.
According to an article in the New York Post (which is clearly the bastion for journalistic integrity), a former employee of the Jewish Theological Seminary is suing her boss over flatulence, at least according to the title of the article, ...

So, last night the Saints sure came marching in.
Or something.
I couldn't really follow the Super Bowl, no matter how many times my boyfriend and my friend's fiance tried to explain to me that the blue and orange lines on the field weren't actually there.

Not over who wins. Frankly, I couldn't care less (could care less?).
The pressure actually comes in the act of watching.
Several years ago, as a single woman living in New York City, my friend and I decided ...

We've all dreamed of landing that magical job in Paris.
Or Hawaii.
Or New Jersey. (Don't judge me.)
Just picking up from the current drudgery and leaving for some fantastic opportunity.
And, now that job openings are so scarce, some people are casting a wide application net and hoping that they'll get some bites, ...

Hmmm. Those terms are a little, well, boring. So, in honor of last night's Grammy awards, let's add some glitz and rock and roll.

Men can smell desperation.
Seriously, if a girl's on the prowl for a boyfriend--or just some attention--at a bar, men can spot her right away. Too much make up, super-high heels, low cut tops (OK, I'm sure the guys don't mind that one too much)... Desperation stands out a mile away.

It never fails.
I could be in perfect health: bundling up like an Eskimo, using anti-bacterial lotion with a vengeance, popping Vitamin C capsules as if they were M&Ms.
Doesn't matter. If it's a weekend where I have plans I'm looking forward to, that Saturday I'll wake up with a sore throat ...

HR policies are important. Mostly.
HR policies are not to be confused with Ludacris
However, there's a reason many employees dislike working with HR. Some HR policies just seem ludicrous.
