By now you may be aware that US Airways flight 1549 from New York’s LaGuardia airport departing for Charlotte, NC crash landed in the Hudson river just west of Manhattan around 3:30pm this afternoon. You also may be aware of the fact that all of the passengers and crew made it off of the plane [...]
Every year millions of people make new year’s resolutions. And, while the resolutions of the previous year were broken faster than you can say “Valentine’s Day,” that doesn’t seem to stop anyone from optimistically declaring that this will be the year they lose weight/get over their fear of heights/stop smoking (or fill in with your [...]
Ok, I’m a week late with it but it was definitely a well rested week, so I don’t feel bad taking a break. I hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve celebration. I spent my NYE hoping that when I got off of work at 11:00pm I wouldn’t get stuck in traffic (the firm [...]

Technically yesterday was World AIDS Day, but I didn’t really have an opportunity to blog, so I’m doing it now. This is something that touches home for me because one of my aunts died of AIDS when I was 11 years old. Please remember to wrap it up, people. And, know your status, not just [...]
The Friday after Thanksgiving was dubbed Black Friday because 1- it’s one of the most stressful days for retail sales associates, and 2- because it is the start of the time period in which stores operate in the black, rather than in the red (meaning, they make a profit).

So, it’s that time of year again, and the day that I dread with every fiber of my being is right around the corner. Black Friday, for retail sales associates, is as ominous as it sounds. Long lines, pushy customers (who really aren’t right), and having to stay late to clean up a store that [...]
