I hear that loud and clear: “Damn, it’s hard to hear criticism, especially when you’re just wandering along the internet catching up on threads you’ve left neglected only to find that you’ve been the topic of conversation.” (Thank Google for Google Alert.)

Lesley cracks me up: “When I told the last kid that I ran out (incidentally, he was about 10, which is old enough to deal with not getting a couple of boxes of Nerds), one of the parents shouted at me, ‘You know, Target’s still open!!’”

I’ve begun writing abstracts for brijit.

Stop calling me. We don’t want your truck. You could have been more helpful on your website, and I wouldn’t have abandoned the page. We chose Budget, thanks, because it was easy to reserve online and cheaper. This tactic of calling people later to negotiate a better price than what your online service initially showed is, frankly, bullshit. Give people the price they want up front. Don’t play this silly phone game with me.
And no, I’m not calling you back.

Budget Rulez, Penske Droolz,

My new job in a nutshell: “The Web is moving toward the combination of human reviewers with Internet search…Search engines are proficient at quickly returning a big pile of results to a query. But what’s the best stuff in the pile?”
