This Just Happened And Now My Head Hurts.
Client: Hi, I want to add a link to some of our specials into our e-newsletter. Is that okay?
Me: Of course that's okay.
Client: Can you do that for me?
Me: Um...no. You might want to ask the people who actually put your e-newsletter together for you to do that.
Client: I just want a link in the newsletter.
Me: Right. So you should ask the people that you're paying to MAKE the letter to PUT the link in for you. Because that's what you're paying them for.
Client: But what would they be linking to?
Me: What do you WANT them to link to?
Client: Well, a website with the specials. Do YOU do that?
Me: No...you might want to talk to the guys that do your website about that.
Client: Really?
Me: Right. So you're gonna call your website guys and tell them you need a new page. And you're gonna call your e-newsletter guys and tell them you need a link in the letter to that new page. And I will continue to have no hand in any of it.
Client: Thanks! I was so confused...

A once-corporate HR-lady tells you how to not suck at your job search, by telling you about people who DID suck at THEIR job searches.
Fact.
Domestic bliss agress with me in every way something can agree with someone.
Cooking dinners together, snuggling on the couch while watching trashy TV on DVD and eating a bowl of pomegranate seeds like a bizarre super-healthy cereal, taking the dog for a walk, passing out with his arm snaked around my waist…
If things can be better than this, I’ll be hard-pressed to believe it.
And we will be ready, at the end of every day will be ready, will not say no to...

Ink.
Why yes, this will be inked on my body in 2010.
It translates to: You Are Who You Choose To Be. (Or more directly: “You are the one who decided who to become.”)
Any volunteers to hand-hold?
