Last year, my dad hit the jackpot of all Christmas gifts by getting my mom floor tickets to Celine Dion at Conseco Fieldhouse. The concert was nearly a YEAR away, in November 2008. Still, big win for Dad. So last month, my mom comes down, and on concert day she’s beaming, excited to finally see [...]

Tonight at 11: Michigander Shunned at Indiana Polling Center
I’ve never voted. I was too young for the 2000 election. I registered to vote in 2004 and obtained an absentee ballot in Michigan to send in while I was at IU, and completely missed the deadline to submit it. But for 2008, I was excited. This morning I walked into the Lawrence Fire Department, [...]
Rusty Blog Skills…
I need more boy friends.
Note the space.
In high school, I had my bros, and I had my hos. The bros were an integral part of keeping [most of] my sanity throughout those formative years. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing like the company of women, the comraderie, the ya-ya sisterhood and all that. I just [...]
Welcome Back, Blogger
I am crabby. I went to Trader Joe’s this morning and wanted to punch the cashier in the balls.
First of all — I had just been to Marsh and witnessed their lack of any produce standard for their avocados. But from experience, Joe’s has this nice little four-pack at a good price, and they ripen within a [...]
Dear Mark Philippousis,
I don’t know how you sucked me into Age of Love. It was probably the same thing that got me, who hates sports, avidly watching tennis in the nineties… your rugged good looks…. Your aussie accent…. Your ridiculously bushy eyebrows. Also, that there’s nothing else on, on primetime Monday nights. Regardless, as I was reminded at every break, you [...]
Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes
It appears (through Facebook anyway) (which never, ever lies) that a handful of my friends attended a show on Jimmy Buffett’s current tour. I assumed Jimmy Buffett concerts were the ultimate excuse for the middle-aged to relive their Spring Break memories without judgment. Clicking through friends’ pictures of the event, it appears Jimmy Buffett concerts are [...]

I was driving home from the gym when I pulled up behind a minivan with this bumper sticker…
…and it took all I had not to rear end the dumb bitch.
This Entry WILL NOT Be Posted on Blue Shirt Nation.
Some time ago, BBY Corporate sent out an e-mail about blueshirtnation.com — a networking tool for Best Buy employees, like MySpace, or Facebook. “Like I really need another one of those,” I said. “Delete.” …Of course I signed up for it…especially upon learning that the mod for the site is in advertising up at corporate.

This Time with Less Bitterness.
Now that I’ve cooled down a bit after the most recent Post of Hatred, let me explain myself.
I (along with Abbie) had been asked about a month ago to be one of the Hiring and Training Coordinators for the upcoming holiday hiring extravaganza. I went up to the district office in Indy for a day-long training [...]

Abbie’s latest post totally beat me to the punch – Best Buy as a bad boyfriend. (and I quote: “If Best Buy and I were in a relationship, I would have moved out and written dirty things about him in the bathroom stall at Nick’s.” Nicely put, friend.) I was thinking about this the other day [...]
does he come in very often?
There is a customer at Best Buy whom I call “The Farting Racist.”
Here is his story.
Ricky is assisting an older gentleman (he was 50, but 50 is like, ancient in a college town, like my God, how are you still STANDING), and they are discussing an album by Fort Minor. I strut over to give my [...]

Throughout History (read: since the late 40s), Indiana has NOT participated in Daylight Savings Time.
(They VETOED it! They were China in the United Nations Security Council! The United Nations Security Council of Daylight Savings!)*
Last night, for the first time, the Hoosier State SPRUNG FORWARD.
And the fact that the state is still running is absolutely awe-inspiring.
“Wait..what..I have to..I have [...]

Every now and again at Best Buy, the District Staff will make the treacherous journey all the way from Indianapolis and grace us pee-ons with their presence. In preparation, store employees are encouraged to brush up on certain information about their department’s goals, intentions, etc…because eventually, a District Staff member will saunter up and expect [...]
This Post is Rated ARRRRRRRR
It’s 3:30 am and I am bored and Project Runway is on commerical break. (I already know that Chloe won because I made Leah text me when she found out. Yay Chloe..even though I was kind of rooting for Daniel V. once I found out he was from Lowell.)
After some Facebook surfing, I returned to [...]
YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS?….
…When I’m at the Laundrymat, spending MY precious free time laundering my Best Buy polos and band t-shirts, and some fuckin’ spoiled kid comes in and uses the “Drop Off” service. It makes me fucking puke that they leave their dirty hampers for someone else to do at a premium price. Daddy and Stepmom Buffy’s money.
I’m [...]
