Am I a traditionalist for thinking I need to wait until I'm in my 40's sitting in a corner office to have my own assistant? Maybe I do need someone to make a reservation for me and my friends during Restaurant Week?

I was so excited at the thought of being in a movie scene court room with lawyers constantly screaming out, “OBJECTION” while the judge huffs and either grumbles, “sustained” or “over-ruled”.

Immediately after purchasing the Groupon, my interest in Thai food went from top three favorite ethnic cuisines...to food type I am most likely to associate with guilt and personal anguish.

I don't like using the term "Jap" to describe that certain type of whiny, obnoxious woman with an overly exaggerated sense of entitlement. The word is offensive to Jews, Americans, and princesses - not to mention the Japanese.
When I first moved to New York, I was jobless. I gave up a position where I enjoyed what I was doing (but I could not stand my boss) to move to the Big Apple and see what I could make of myself. I spent hours a day applying to jobs and spent even more hours wondering why I wasn’t hearing anything back.
Eruptin.com goes undercover in an effort to expose the real lifestyles of New Yorkers...the side you don't see on TV and in movies.
The Cornball would be extremely annoying to have as a friend and you should avoid them at all costs in normal social situations, but in a networking setting they can easily be your best friend.

Hungry For A Friend
It happens to each of us. You see an unwelcome intruder in your Gchat list and wonder where they came from and how they got in. Your roommate’s mom, your former college Econ professor, the weird guy from Craigslist who bought your used couch....And those are just the ones you can trace...
The 10 To De-Friend
I'm not saying my occasional status updates are flawless, and I can't guarantee I've never been defriended for one that irked someone (is there an App for that?), however there are some status updates and updaters that can almost be certain will have a declining friend count.
So You Wanna Be A Hipster?
By: Sarah Kurusz
As a child I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up, but now it’s a hipster. Instead of grading papers and writing lesson plans I want to be unemployed, ironic, and wear silly hats and wayfarers.
The Tipping Point
By: Sandra Cunningham
Since when has it become protocol to tip someone for doing their job? I don’t slip my dentist a twenty after a particularly good cleaning. I don’t tell my cashier at CVS to “keep the change” when he rings up my pack of gum, bags it, and hands it to me.
The Life Unplanned
By: Aaron Field
I started to ruminate about my life. Nothing was panning out how it was supposed to be. I thought about my elementary school friends, and if their dreams for the future were panning out. All those aspiring writers and artists and professional athletes.
Triple F – The Female Wingman
By: Sara Lambert
I hang out with some hot chicks. Yeah, I said it; I roll with an attractive crew. And now that I think about it, I’ve always somehow gotten clumped together socially with the pretty girls.
The Outsourced FriendDear Thomas Friedman,
It was 2005, in your book, The World is Flat, you taught us the importance of doing our homework, citing the new global workplace would be a place of competition for the same jobs, as outsourcing gained momentum. While you certainly were not mistaken, you failed to provide the full account of what exactly we'd be competing with.
