Subway Story

I tend to get pretty wrapped up in the books that I read. True to my profession, I've always thought the greatest escape was a good book. You can lose yourself in a story and forget where you are or what's happening around you, immersed in this other, created world. I've found this to be an especially good trick in the dirty subways of New York.

Especially when a rat runs up to you and stares you down before calmly, casually deciding to go along its way. And no one else bats an eyelash.

One by Mary J. Blige & U2

I mean, have you heard this cover?! My favorite part is where Blige gets slain by the spirit while she's yodeling the "Love is a temple, love is a higher law" bridge.

Amen, sister.

But it is nice, isn't it?

Take Off

Events have been escalating over here and lately I've had the tingling sensation you get when you're sitting in the plane, staring out the window, and waiting for the inevitable. After a worrisome interview, I was hired by a pharmaceutical support company (don't ask, I barely understand it myself). Apparently my job will consist of calling doctors all day and making sure they have their plane tickets for their swank conferences. My super interview smile faltered a bit as I thought about the ramifications of that -- making reservations for the rich doctors of America? But I guess sometimes you just gotta buckle in and go where the plane takes you.

Oh, The Onion. What would life be without your snarky comments?

Lying Through My Teeth

"So, how familiar are you with Excel?"
"Very."

"Well, you would be working with Word and Excel, primarily. How do you feel about that?"
"Great!"

"Would you say you have strong Excel skills?"
"Uh....sure."
