New Adult Children's Book

"Go the F*@K to Sleep", by Adam Mansbach

This book is for adults, with a children's book theme. Adam decided to write this book, after having a hard time getting his two year old daughter to sleep. My experience as a nanny, makes me completely understand the reasoning behind this book. You are trying to put a child to bed, however they keep asking for one more book or have you keep reading the same book over and over.

I am thinking this might be a great gift for expecting parents....you know who you are!

Discriminating JobSite

My current contract is coming to an end, so I have been applying to other jobs while figuring out my next steps. Today, I was browsing jobs on indeed.com. I have used this site in the past and I really like it. One of the jobs that I was interested in, was on JIBE. I have never heard of this site, but I thought I would still apply. That is, until I got this lovely message:


I feel discriminated against! I can't even apply through JIBE, since I don't have a Facebook or Linkedin account...this is a bunch of BS!

9 to 5: The Musical

Saturday evening, I went and saw 9 to 5: The Musical at the 5th Ave Theater. What a great show! This is the second time that I have seen it, I saw it a few years ago in New York. I enjoyed it, just as much as the first time! They even added a few recorded videos with Dolly Parton.

The show runs through April 24th in Seattle, before moving on to Denver, Colorado.

Oprah knows Best!

"Communication is like a dance. One person takes a step forward; the other takes one back. Even one misstep can land both on the floor in a tangle of confusion."

-Oprah

The above Quote is from the Oprah Newsletter Thought for Today. It made me think about how we communicate at work and in our personal lives. It also made me think about my favorite show, Dancing with the Stars and the fall that Kristie Alley and Mak had on Monday night.

Seattle MS Walk

Sunday was the Seattle MS Walk at Husky Stadium. This year there was a much larger turn out than year's past and we got lucky, the weather held out and there was no rain.

Best Calendar Quote Ever!

I changed my calendar this morning and had a little laugh at my desk. I really was expecting some environmental comment, but instead it's about wine...gotta love it!
