Consider the elevator operator.
Elevator operators were tasked with pulling all the levers and gizmos and making sure people would get to the correct floor. Sometimes, they'd even get to make announcements. "Third floor, women's lingerie!" or something to that effect. And they did it all in full uniform.
Of course, now that ...

It might sound perverse, but I actually don't mind busy days here. After all, an idle mind is the devil's playground. And although I love a good swing on the monkey bars, it's nice to be busy.
Of course, no one can work an entire day straight. Your brain needs a ...

Mon Dieu!
French workers have kidnapped their bosses to response to hundreds of proposed layoffs.
I know, I know. You think I'm playing a big April Fools day prank on you, right? Like, you'll click the link and all of a sudden your computer will be infected with the Conficker.c worm or ...

You all know I'm very modest (and awesome, clearly).
But, I'm just going to pat myself on the back for a minute. Did you notice that all my predictions for last night's Oscars came true? I'm totally going to go out and buy some lotto tickets now!
Anyway, between the champagne, the ...

So, let's check the to-do list: deadlines, meetings, projects, conference calls.
Laugher IS the best medicine!
And don't forget worrying about the current economic recession, layoffs, your yearly review, whether your boss will finally notice you (and not just when you screw up), whether your sweetheart is going to send you a ...

Well now, it's been exciting couple of days. First of all, today is Martin Luther King Day. I think we can agree that the country has made great strides towards Dr. King's vision of a united country. Good for us.
Matt Leinart: One Cardinal that won't poop on your coat. Probably.

Barack Obama's inauguration is in less than a week, and everyone wants a piece. In fact, scalpers are trying to sell tickets at $500 a pop. That's great. (Well, not the scalper part. I wouldn't buy tickets from a scalper--it just seems not cool. Unless they could get me tickets ...

"Do you know what I'd like for Christmas?" my coworker asked. "Money. Money or a gift certificate to Walmart."
It's not a glamorous request. But it is practical. (Then again, so are the socks I'm undoubtedly getting for Hanukkah, but that doesn't mean I want them.) I guess it's a strong ...

I don't know about you all, but I'm still stuffed from my Thanksgiving feast (and the days and days of turkey leftovers). That, coupled with the way-too-fast vacation, has left me feeling a little lethargic and, I hate to say it, unmotivated.

Remember when you were younger and wanted to go to a horror movie/stay out late/get a puppy?
"Come on, everyone's doing it," you'd whine.
"If everyone else was jumping off a bridge, would you too?" your mother would reply.
"Well, no..."
And that would be the end of it.
Well, I'm here to tell you ...
