If you know me, you’re aware that I’m opinionated, caustic, sarcastic but still quite a friendly, happy, all around outgoing gal. But yes, I have an opinion. And a voice. And I’m rather particular. I believe that if I’m paying for something, it should be as expected. And I believe that good customer service is [...]
So there I was on maternity leave and the management of our ad agency was having staff reviews. And I had made a promise to you: that I’d go to bat and get you promoted to a senior copywriter because I thought you deserved it. And so I left my newborn with a sitter, for [...]
I’ve had a really tough time the past two days. Someone who I thought was a good friend really turned on me. And I mean really turned. Now, I do question her motivation, which I truly think was inspired by a deep seated fear. At least, I hope it was motivated by that. Otherwise I [...]
We’re on Spring Break, so here are some of my old favorites! This one was from about a year ago. There’s something I tell people about my littlest guy Milan: that if he was my first kid, I’d only have one kid. And really, there’s some truth to that. While Mia and Max are gentle [...]

Or when I passed the GNC [...]
Several months ago I wrote on Yelp about a hair salon nearby that I had gone to, and I felt the service was below par and the salon dirty. Dirty to the point that I didn’t want to put my handbag on the counter and had to ask the stylist to wipe off a chair. [...]
I’m in the airport restroom and am irritated that someone with a wheelchair has had to use a regular stall because an able bodied person is in the accessible stall. I’m thinking of things to say to the person, hoping to catch them when I leave my stall. Which of course I don’t. And most [...]
I’m a sharer. I can’t help myself. I tell people how I’m feeling. How I think they’re feeling. How someone else is feeling. I like to let it all out. No holds barred. Sometimes, it gets me into trouble. I tell people what I think and sometimes they don’t want to hear it. Waitresses giving [...]
