Really? Who Walks Into A Lamp Post?
I started a mentorship program over the summer and I actually had someone apply and get accepted into the program. She’s my only mentee at this time, but honestly, I couldn't even believe I got one.

Can we let this die out already? Seriously, stop using checkbooks in stores. We now live in a world where we want things now and we want them fast, so nothing is worst than being in a checkout line behind someone who pulls out the infamous checkbook. Well, actually one thing is worst. It happened to me yesterday.
We all have a person like this at our workplace, right? Someone who is annoying yet can be funny, but basically just acts like a complete jackass. This person is sometimes a cubemate or someone you have to share an office with, but in my case it’s the guy about 10 feet away from me on the other side of the wall.
Here are my top 10 reasons I want to kick my co-worker’s ass on a daily basis:
I was out driving a lot this past weekend and since it was one of the last beautiful weekends, it was clear everyone was anxious to get outside. I’m driving down the interstate, in the Right lane by the way; no Left lane cruising on my watch, and I notice this vehicle pulling a trailer.
This feels more like an annual public service announcement than just my own personal rant. See last year’s here. I do find myself asking these questions more and more often when driving: Do people even know the left lane is for passing only and not just cruising in it? Are kids not being taught this anymore or have people just turned into a$$holes and don’t care about this rule and other drivers?
I was in the store last weekend and turned to walk down the light bulb aisle. Just as I walked around the corner, a guy dropped a pack of light bulbs. *Crash* Broken glass everywhere. He looked up at me panicked. I held my hands up and bowed out. Sorry sucker, I’m not getting involved in this. But, that did get me to thinking about how things are packaged.
I was at an awesome hotel a few weeks ago and my friends and I were hanging at the pool. Just as we’re really relaxing and swimming, the lifeguard comes by and tells everyone to get out of the pool. I’m thinking ok, it must have been a little kid who had an accident, threw up or something like that. Nope, not some innocent little kid that did it.
Unfortunately, summer is officially over, school has started and back to reality. I took quite a few vacations this summer and I could probably do an entire series on flying alone, but the one I'm starting with is a certain flight attendant I got to experience. Normally, flight attendants I've flown with are so over-the-top friendly that you want to pop your eyes out with spoons, but then this guy comes along.
With our lives becoming busier and busier each day, who has time to watch TV anymore? Luckily, we can rely on our DVR, right? That’s pretty much how a majority of us are now watching TV. We have the luxury of recording it and watching it when we have free time. And we are committed to our shows and excited to watch them.
However, there’s always a jackass out there who comes up and asks,
If you are wondering how the McDonald’s bag that you threw out of your window leaving the McDonald’s parking lot ended up in your yard, it was me.
