Babies and Facebook

As I get older *sigh*, it seems as though more and more of my friends are jumping on to the baby bandwagon.  I know it was inevitable but that still doesn’t mean I have to like it.  Facebook has obviously allowed a lot of us to keep in touch with current and past connections and [...]

That Karma… She can be a b*tch…

Remember my post a few months ago about the woman at my office who was just traumatized because she was expecting a boy instead of a girl. You know, this one?
Yesterday at work, the same woman (who’s going to pop any day) brought her 5 year old daughter to the office. I was sitting [...]

Breeder-itis rears its ugly head…

Yeah, we’ve all gotten that bingo before. You know the one. The one about how we’re selfish and immature for not wanting to have kids. Well, that may be true occasionally, but the childed are not immune to selfishness and immaturity as we’ve known for quite some time.
The other day at work, [...]

Sneakers from Hell

I’ve had this post on the back burner for a while but after today’s incident, I feel inspired to post.  Does anyone one else absolutely DESPISE those awful creations called Heelys?  In case you are blessed not to have dealt with this horrible invention, I’ll fill you in.  These are sneakers that have a single [...]

Hear, hear…

Best. Rant. Ever.
I ran across the above website by accident last night, and I must say I like it. I know basically every childfree person in existence feels the same way as the author, and she did an excellent job putting it into words.
That’s right breeders¹! We’re not your free babysitter. Quit [...]

It’s called saying “NO”

This is apparently an elusive word these days. Day in and day out I see parents catering to their child’s every whim. If the kid wants this or that, the parents give in and give it to them just to avoid an argument. What you get is these spoiled little brats that [...]

Please take your baby elsewhere…

I’ve posted about this before. An ad agency (or any office) is no place for kids, especially newborns. I realize that parents want to show off their new “bundle of joy” (or bundle of hell, in my opinion), but honestly, do you really have to bring your five-month-old to the office?
I am currently [...]

Demoting the dog

I recently stumbled across this article on the Time website. I must say I’m quite appalled and disgusted, although I have seen it happen on several occasions. What was once a beloved pet and faithful friend, becomes, at best, a burden once the new “human” bundle of joy arrives. I witnessed it [...]

Whoever gets pregnant first wins! Woo!

Oh. My. God. As if people need to “glorify” having children any more, Russia has decided to make it a contest. They have now declared September 12, the Day of Conception in hope that it will lead to a plethora of babies being born on their “National Day” which happens to be 9 [...]

Workplace Ruckus

I think I mentioned before that I work at a rather large, fast-paced advertising agency. There are not usually that many dull moments, and the majority of my time consists of planning media, meeting deadlines, keeping clients happy, etc. I’ve been under an unusual amount of stress the past couple of weeks due [...]
