headlines

1) "They've been raised, says Twenge, on 'bad advice,' like 'believe in yourself and you can do anything,' leaving many with deeply unrealistic expectations about their lives."
i agree with the above quote, but not necessarily the entire article. it is an interesting read though.

2) skankees, or alternatively, jeter is bad in bed.

3) this is just ridiculous. obama's comment is pretty funny.


in other news, the job is going very well. i like the stuff, and the people in the office are awesome, which says a lot since i usually don't like a lot of people. in fact, i have yet to meet anyone in the office who i dislike. there isn't even really anything i dislike about the job yet. well, i dont like getting up early. i guess the closest thing to an annoyance is the group of assistants who just cluck about all day. it's only a problem because right now my desk is near all of theirs, but it won't even be there permanently so it's not really an issue. also, the assistants are all very friendly and nice, and they still do their jobs very well. this says a lot too, because they have more responsibilities in this office than any assistants had in other offices in which i've worked.

all in all, things are great.
