Washington: Worst Drivers

The law (yes it is a law), that the left lane is reserved for quicker drivers and people who need to pass is totally lost on Seattle and Washington drivers. Hopefully those drivers actually read and will see the light with the article above.

Get Some Tough Skin, Ladies!

Ran into this article today and found it extremely informative. I wish I could've read it years ago, especially out of college.

I remember wanting to always make my co-workers happy and to make them feel that I was reliable. This is a feminine trait that actually worked against me in my first job. Instead of getting respect, I was looked upon as "go get it" girl, making copies, doing faxes. The work of a secretary, rather than a girl who just got her degree in design. As pointed out in this article, I, like so many of my female counterparts, lacked the tough skin to take any criticism or to stick up to myself (especially in salary negotiations).

Word (so many ways you can look into that title!)

I keep writing the word “notly” lately.

Definition: “not” and “only” mixed together.

I should be a rapper. That sounds like something Snoop Dogg would’ve come up with f’shizzle.

Kubrick

I used to be obsessed with the movie The Shining and to watch this promo, I've found myself hypmotized. Every time I re-watch the clip, I find another detail from the film (like the guy painting the "REDRUM" on the door).

"This stunning promo was shot in one long take, and is a look behind the scences of Kubrick’s 1980 film The Shining, all from the perspective of the director himself."
