The next question is, what do you do when a disapprove of a business’ ethics?
As nice as it would be, sometimes, to live in a vacuum…we don’t.  Every tiny decision we make has an impact, and those tiny impacts can expand exponentially.
I don’t eat Domino’s Pizza because I don’t want to give money – even [...]

There’s something interesting happening over on the Amazon page for Spore, the new computer game from Electronic Arts.
Specifically, there’s something interesting happening in the customer reviews section.
Two thousand, four hundred and fourteen people have reviewed the game as of this writing, and two thousand, one hundred and sixty-three of them gave the game only one [...]

One of my awesome co-workers (all of my co-workers here are awesome, really) has been having a hard time of it lately – feeling sick, tired, and generally unwell.  Just a couple hours ago, she got a call from her doctor’s office: the results of her recent tests have come back, and she has a [...]

In August’s Real Simple magazine there is an article called “Confessions of a Former Crafter,” by Jacquelyn Mitchard, which has set my teeth of edge.
If you happen to have a copy of the magazine, feel free to follow along.

(There’s going to be some ranting whining here, and some less-than-appetizing descriptions of food. Feel free to wander off, but check out the picture at the bottom of [...]

Because really…it’s killing me.
I take it back. I take it all back. Give me the lower wages and the less responsibility and the copious knitting time, because this sucks.
I haven’t wanted to say anything, because I hate whining (no, really) and I hate being a wussie and I thought I was just new [...]

Have you ever wondered how many posts you’ve written? Yes, I know that your blogging software probably keeps track for you, but if you really want to be struck by just how many posts that is, wait until a particularly persistent spammer picks you out as the lucky winner. When you have your [...]

Owie ow ow.
Well, I was planning on waxing poetic about my socks (as if you don’t get the idea that I adore these socks), but…well, life didn’t exactly participate last night.
As I was driving Bradon and I home last night, I said, in passing “hmm…my back hurts.”
Within an hour I could barely move.
This is no [...]

I’m afraid today’s post is going to be a bit short, both in length and in attitude. I was informed this morning by my contract manager that I’m to be moved full-time to another team…a team that I work for part time and loathe with every fiber of my being. The account they [...]
