Below you will find my weblog, or just blog. The name may not strike you right away, but you'll get it after I ask you one question: How many letters are there in the alphabet?

I use these twenty−six letters to share moments I experience, thoughts I come upon or ideas I have that I don't feel like keeping to myself. Writing them gives me the ability to share with you.

Maybe you'll laugh, maybe you'll swallow hard, maybe you will learn something about me that you didn't previous know, or maybe you'll relate the words below to something in your own experiences. You may even know the subjects I allude to between the paragraph tags.

So much that I will often write without proofing. If I offend you, it is nothing personal, simply my opinion. I'll complain about things that bother me, things I find offensive and just random thoughts I hold onto long enought to transfer to my blog.

The only thing you need know is that I love to write.

Whistle While You Work

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

But, please, keep it to yourself. I’m not a white cartooned female and you don’t have an adjective for a name, stand fewer than four feet tall, or carry a pick axe.

It’s bad office etiquette to implant (through whistling) late 80s songs into someone’s head without expressed written or verbal consent.

Earlier today, a co-worker came into my office and began whistling…um, nuh uh. If there’s an ‘a’ before the ‘m’ then the only thing your lips should be blowing is the steaming cup of coffee in your hands.

I pepped up the pipes and belted out a louder whistle. My tune, (a Coldplay song), acted as contraception for the incredibly catchy track from something very Monster Ballad-y. Not gonna get in my head.

I win.

Go blow air in another someone’s office.

Chopped Chit Chat

Monday, August 24th, 2009

If your WPM is fewer than, or equal to, your grandfather’s age on your fifth birthday, then please take typing lessons.

I’m not referring to shorthand or txt lessons…no, I’m talking about cue, double you, e, are, tea, why (skills). Especially if you plan to use your keyboard to communicate via IM.

Also, when IM’ing, prudently utilize the backwards L-shaped key – certainly if depressing that key results in a send.

Receiving news in bits doesn’t bother me. Receiving news in broken

bits is what really angers

me.

Respect the amount of time your recipient wastes watching the “Ross Clurman is currently typing” notification only to realize

that you were just finishing

your thought.

And, under no circumstances should you follow the scattered sentence with a visit to their office, or a phone call for verbal translation.
