Stupidity has always irked me, which is probably why I wrote a soon-to-be-published book called Stupid Humans. It’s not just that stupidity exists, it’s that you see so much of it on display when you work in hell, otherwise known as retail. It’s almost like people leave their brains at home when they decide to […]
Read more "S is for Stupidity"Why Are Millennials Blamed for Everything? Hear me out on this one. Every day, I’m bombarded with messages about how my generation is made up of spoiled, entitled jerks who don’t know how to do anything for themselves and expect everything handed to them on a silver platter. Question I Hear Too Often: Why Are […]
Read more "Why Parents of Millennials Are The Real Entitled Jerks"I am not a morning person. I have never been a morning person. I will never be a morning person. And maybe more of us should be night owls. Back when I had a job, I hated having to be at work at eight in the morning. I am just not someone who can go […]
Read more "I Am Not a Morning Person, and That’s Okay"Is College Worth the Cost? In a word, no. I remember the day I ripped my college diploma to shreds. It had been two years since I graduated with my second degree in Advertising/Public Relations, and I was still working at a crappy, low-paying retail job. You know, the kind you might see in an […]
Read more "Why College Isn’t Worth the Cost: When Knowledge Isn’t Power, It’s a Constantly Flushing Financial Toilet"This time of year, yard sales (I call them crap sales) are everywhere. It’s time to spring clean, to take all your unwanted pieces of crap and put price tags on each piece instead of putting them in the trash! Yay! Of course, if you’re an internet reseller like me, you browse these things not because […]
Read more "How to Shop a Yard Sale"As I file my taxes, it seems to me that I should have gotten deductions for a lot of things not covered. Sure, my tax program walked me through questions like, “Did you donate an organ last year?” or “Did you donate any fine art?” or “Did you die last year?” because apparently those are […]
Read more "Great Ideas for New Tax Deductions"In case you’re wondering about the more or less alphabetical nature of my post titles lately, I am doing a daily blogging challenge. Each daily post has to go with the letter of the day, going in alphabetical order. I’ve known since A that I wanted to write about fucks I don’t give when I […]
Read more "Flying Fucks I Don’t Give"How to Stop Making Excuses and Lose Weight I have a confession: I used to be a couch potato. I considered pushing the buttons on the remote a workout. I was a vegetarian who ate potato chips as a main course and cookies for dessert. And yes, I was fat. I was a fat vegetarian, […]
Read more "How to Stop Making Excuses and Lose Weight: E is for Exercise, and Why it Really Doesn’t Suck"I spent many years working in hell, otherwise known as retail. Which would be an okay job if it wasn’t for the customers. And the pay. And the hours. And the—okay, nothing about retail is good. There’s not one redeeming quality. That’s the truth. I mean, I always knew there were a lot of idiots […]
Read more "Asshats I Met While Working in Retail"I brake, sometimes suddenly, for yard sales, discount stores, and especially brightly-colored clearance signs. DO NOT TAILGATE ME UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SUED. If I see that your “estate sale” is being run by a professional auction house, I’m leaving. They always price things so they cannot be resold at a profit. The hell […]
