The first story that catches my eye was about how a person was denied a position by a recruiter because she wanted to negotiate their salary. What’s the problem? At the height of my career as an Executive Chef, I was recruited by TGI Fridays to be their Corporate Chef down in Texas. The recruiterContinue reading “Just Sayin’”

Morsels From My Mind
I see Phoenix is cleaning up the tent city that has sprouted up in the downtown area. Where are they moving it to? Leasing hotel rooms? For how long? Once again, I have the solution and it is, at the risk of blowing my own horn, brilliant. Put the homeless to work and train themContinue reading “Morsels From My Mind”
Can’t Do It
Nope. The only Queen I have known in my lifetime called her “Queen Consort” and that’s what she shall remain. Relax. She will not succeed the King were he to expire. Charles’ progeny will continue the lineage Oh, I’m sure I will hear it about this, but you know me. British women, on the whole,Continue reading “Can’t Do It”
The Call
I was lying around the house on a lazy Sunday morning smoking some kickass Sativa and being picked on (for no good reason, I’m sure) by Karen, the Domestic Despot. She was complaining because all I was doing was getting stoned and travelling to golf with my buddies, scattered across the country. I kept tellingContinue reading “The Call”
I LOVE GOOGLE!
Okay. Since I wrote that I hated Google previously, I feel obliged to backtrack on my stance. After writing about how inept my situation was being handled, come to find out, it was ME who was fucking up and I kept getting my passwords jumbled. I still do not use it as the “end allContinue reading “I LOVE GOOGLE!”
I HATE GOOGLE!
The nerve of those assholes… Have you ever spoken to a human being who works for them? Of course not. There are no people in the company, only bots, whatever the hell they are, that offer series of programmed questions which brings up another subset, and another, so on. You get the picture They runContinue reading “I HATE GOOGLE!”
You Don’t Say…
Evidently, some Harvard-educated expert has three words to say to someone who is rude for you. So do I. And they start with “kiss” and end with “my ass!” Duh. So a story about a woman who only spent twenty bucks for a dress that she wore to several weddings that had everyone talking. Yeah,Continue reading “You Don’t Say…”
The Way I See It
I saw a story about the things you need to be doing to improve your short and long term memory and I guess my own personal recipe differs somewhat. The first thing they offer is chunking, or basically attaching significance to small groups of information to use as building blocks. The first thing I offerContinue reading “The Way I See It”
Missed It By That Much
It’s one thing to miss a target you are aiming at by as much as fifty feet and your mission is still considered to be a success; but when you miss by a whole country and bomb yourselves, you must wonder, at some point, about the quality of leadership. So I suppose I have toContinue reading “Missed It By That Much”
OOPS!
Mr. I-am-sending-a rocket-into-space-just-because-I-can Elon Musk once again looked like a horse’s ass when his much-ballyhooed marvel of technology blew up minutes after being launched out into the mist. His Starship, er, Sinkship is being fished out of the Atlantic Ocean. People are wondering “why isn’t NASA doing these space forays? Why is a private companyContinue reading “OOPS!”
