Recently, Terry Frazier discovered my blog entry about my extreme disatisfaction with Accelerated Learning Group/Greg Parker. A few people have come by to voice their opinion as well and now we have quite a throng of responses. If you google “Accelerated Learning Group” and “Atlanta”, you’ll see my post up there on the first page of results. Now someone else discovered my post about my disatisfaction with WinSave, our past web host, and I have a post telling me to stop blogging. Who knows I can turn my blog into a powerful tool against bad business practices! So there you...

Nothing shows the American style of Christmas spirit like the Gift Exchange game. Not only people would bring the cheapest gift to the party, but now someone else can take YOUR gift. What the fuck kind of game is this!?! Where I came from, all the gifts are labeled with numbers. Then you pick those numbers out of the hat. You go match your number to the gift and the gift is yours. Simple. Wonderful. Everyone goes home happy. No fighting. No bitterness. Today at my company’s holiday luncheon, it was like a war zone. One lady jotted down everything...

Your friend since high school finally has a steady boyfriend after many years of dry spell. The boyfriend is also a friend from the same circle which you know quite well.

Given also, you insist that...

…no one and everyone. The holiday decoration gauntlet results in a tie as our CEO casted the final vote: “I have been informed that I am the tie breaking vote on the decoration contest between the west and east sides (don’t forget, there really are no sides, just one big happy family). Because this has been such a difficult decision. I want you to know that I spent a sleepless night deciding. Here is the decision: It’s a tie. East side wins for sheer degree and extent of makeover and impact. West side wins for quality and professionalism of design.....

Owed to Rude Cactus for a few days now. So, here it is. Seven things I hope to do before I die: 1) Write a book 2) Play bar chords on guitar 3) See the Eiffel Tower, Trevi fountain, Stonehenge, and the Pyramids. 4) Actually have money (because right now technically whatever I have, I owe) 5) Establish a charity foundation 6) Take care of my parents for a change 7) Live in a house I own Seven things I cannot do: 1) Float independently in a pool. I sink like a rock no matter what I do unless aided...

Been running around all over the place here. Work has been nuts with events and the “friendly competition” of office decoration. I’ll have picture on Flickr album shortly. The holiday party for board members was quite fun last night. Brandon even trekked up to join us and did enjoy himself a little bit. We got to meet our new CEO who will replace our retiring one in January. Can’t wait for the transition! I’m personally swamped with all sorts of things. Girls night out dinner is tonight. Next week I have office party, then finals for my online classes. I...
