SINK OR MEDITATE
I’m in a mood that makes one want to pull up to the bar, order the darkest red wine and smoke a couple cigs. (I have to keep telling myself that you care about this post because it’s slightly personal.) This week has been tough. Very, very tough. Lots of crying and lots of speculation. [...]
NEW YORK CITY IS MY LOS ANGELES LOVE AFFAIR
I had a dream last night that I was shown an apartment in NYC. I didn’t exactly recognize the neighborhood; it was a mixture of the West Village meets the Lower East Side meets downtown Boston, not far from where I’m from. The apartment was very circular, like a box of four rooms, with very [...]
THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND TAKING A CHANCE
Four months ago my boyfriend’s sister said to me, with the force, accuracy and aim of a marksman, “You’re stuck in the past. That’s your problem.” We didn’t know each other that well and I was a bit taken aback. Given that she had just recently met me, a tiny voice in me muttered, “No, [...]
RAISE YOUR STANDARDS
The first real fight I had with my boyfriend was over the word “proud.” I needed a job — ideally a creative position that didn’t involve working for a complete douchebag. After a month of job-searching, I became desperate and applied to a “Hairstylist Salon Receptionist” position on craigslist. I romanticized the job. I thought [...]
THE “I JUST GOT FIRED FROM A JOB I HATE” PLAN
I didn’t just get fired. I actually started a new job three months ago and I love it. I love it more than any job I’ve ever had. It’s a part-time writing gig, but it’s really a lot more and I admire everyone I work with. Without sounding cheesy, I feel lucky to work there. [...]
MY PERFECT JOB
I make fun of Craigslist ads often on this blog. Why? Because they are really f’in annoying. Craigslist, like Starbucks, gives people a platform to be completely fucking crazy. Now that the economy sucks and unemployment is paramount, the power is with the employers. They can demand an android with a Master’s degree who “pays [...]
FUCK CORPORATE AMERICA
I do not function in corporate America. You may. That’s great. You may never function working at a bakery or a restaurant and writing and performing theater at night, but I do. I’m not going to continue lying to myself or others. If you don’t like me cause you think I’m less responsible, that’s fine. [...]
LET THE BUSH GROW: A CALL TO WOMEN
Just as I was about to shave down there, I stopped and made up a little song called “Let the bush grow.” I sang it loud and proud. I then realized that since I can hear my crazy neighbor screaming at random people, she could probably hear me belting out my new war song, “Let [...]
RELUCTANT NEEDS TO CLEAN UP HER ACT. SHE’S STARTING WITH ANN TAYLOR.
Dear God, Please forgive me for my sins. I know Jews don’t believe in sinning and confessing (I think). Regardless, I have sinned. I write a very dirty blog (this one) and it needs to stop. I need to grow up and become a functioning adult. Oh god, as I write this I feel like [...]
A HUGE TURN OF EVENTS: I’M GOING TO FRANCE AND I’M GOING TO POSE NAKED WITH CROISSANTS!!!
I have not written for the past two weeks. Why? I got a job. I know, crazy thing to have a job in Los Angeles. I was making fun of insane Craigslist ads on this blog, and then I got an awesome job off of Craigslist. Not a crazy one. A crazy good one. I [...]
DEPRESSING CRAIGSLIST AD OF THE WEEK!
Today’s Craigslist ad is less depressing, but more annoying than last week’s, “COMEDY WRITER FOR STAND UP.” Let’s look at today’s bullshit (parenthetical comments by me): EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT We are looking for the most AMAZING Executive Level Assistant to join our team! (This job has to suck.) Looking for someone who is a versatile self-starter capable [...]
CRAIGSLIST JOBS ARE DEPRESSING
I think I need to make this a weekly column: The most abusive, humiliating and depressing Craigslist ads for jobs. Now that the economy sucks, there are tons of people who want A LOT OF SHIT for NOTHING. I usually don’t make commentary like this, but things are getting ridiculous. There are tons of companies [...]
