“It’s a ride to bummer city in a car made of sadness & first world...”
– The last thing I’ll ever say (hopefully) about Lana Del Rey
esurance
First, nobody is paying me to say this. I was honestly so blown away by the interaction I had when buying my new auto policy today I felt compelled to write about it.
I was skeptical at first, since I’ve been with kinda no-name insurance companies for 10 years, but WOW esurance is not lying about their customer service on their commercials.
So I called for a quote & not only did I...

“Oh, don’t cut your hair. Don’t spend all that money and make...”

Pick Your Battles
Today the person driving behind me honked angrily as I was making a moderate-speed right turn off of an icy main road, into a parking lot, with my turn signal on.
Yesterday I walked by a homeless man on my way into a store & gave a smile instead of change (I only had large bills & was planning on keeping my change in my hand on my way out of the store so he could have it, not that I owed...

Writing press releases
is about as exciting as doing dishes. In fact I am only now working on this because I already stalled the day away washing dishes & cleaning the bathroom mirror, which was easier and more satisfying.
On the positive side, my house is going to be so clean by the time this gallery opens thanks to these fits of desperate avoidance.
That sounds like a fun ride home

Opening art galleries is so GLAMOROUS
My partner & I are undertaking a big business venture in a short period of time (YEAH, DURING THE HOLIDAYS and while working 40 hours a week somewhere else, did you think I was sane or something?) & the size of my To Do List is giving me ADD. And OCD. And various other disorders. Can’t focus, no memory, can’t sleep, can’t stop making lists, 99 tabs open at once, other...

Siri at the office
I can empathize. I know it’s useful, because I downloaded Cluezee for Android (which is the same thing, so all of you iPhone “this phone is better than all others” people can suck it) however using it to schedule appointments & look up phone numbers all day at the office is annoying & makes you sound like a lazy jerk.
