Text-Mex
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009Totes starting a new series - Texts From Patti - devoted to sharing the amazingly ridic messages I receive from my mom. Its not the fact that she starts every text with
“Tony,” and ends it with “love mom,” it’s whats in the middle and I <3 her for it.
Cool, Bitch
Monday, March 23rd, 2009Cool is a word with many implied meanings - depending on context and how it is pronounced.
Everyone (with the possible exception of ESL) knows this. I.E:
Cool - A moderately chilly temperature
Cool - A calm mood
Cool - A middle of the road response. Syn: Neat
Cool.- A short, annoyed response Syn: Fine
Coooooooool - Sarcastically un-cool
“Bitch” is similar. For my non-gays, I thought I’d give you some examples:
Bitch - A complaint
Bitch - Female dog
Bitch - An unpleasant person
Bitchhh - A nod in agreement
Bitttttccccchhhh - “I can’t even believe you”
Help me add to the list?
What do we want? Jobs!
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009& they’re wanted now.
A friend of mine recently needed to fill a dish washing position.
At 2:45, he posted the availability on Craigslist.
By 3:3o he’d received over 250 e-mails.
E-mails kept coming in, so the posting was removed. He says he typically receives significantly fewer than the 6 e-mails per minute he received with this posting.
The moral of the story is this:
If you’re looking to fill a minimum wage position - use Criagslist
If you’re looking to find a minimum wage position - don’t
FB Me
Saturday, March 21st, 2009“Facebook me” is the new “text me”, formally known as the “call me”.
Let me explain.
You meet someone at the bar. It goes well. You’d typically exchange numbers, wait two days and give them a call.
To the nervous man, texting prevailed over phone conversations as a great way to get to know someone without having to be charming. Prefer instant gratification? You can form a relationship just as fast as you can T9.
However, base new relationships off texts and you may find you’ve been getting to know a tranny.
Enter “Facebook me”.
If I meet someone at the bar, shouldn’t I ask for their last name? I want to know if you’re crazy right off the bat. I need to check your marital status. I want to scroll through all 850 of your pictures to ensure I didn’t have beer gogs on.
The moral of the story: If you think there could be a next time, do yourself a fav and tell him/her to Facebook you.
Sears Blue Appliance Crew
Friday, March 20th, 2009Today, my ShopSavvy app came to life! The price comparison application seems to have materialized in a Sears spot. Only Sears’ version is more… labor intensive.
The “low price search party” is Sears’ attempt at making consumers comfortable when purchasing an appliance. Yay for Sears for acknowledging that the consumer will do some comparative shopping before they commit to the purchase. I think it’s providing a good example in exercising transparency. Now all Sears needs to do is find an identity.. and a market.

Thursday, March 19th, 2009Remedial tasks to the rescue!
Amazon’s Mechanical Turk is always hiring. Computers have successfully taken plenty of jobs away from the work force, but fortunately for us not all tasks can be performed by a computer! Sometimes, a job just calls for an HIT (a Human Intelligence Task) .
The Mechanical Turk name is based on “The Turk,” which was an 18th century chess-playing machine that appeared to be able to play a strong game of chess against a human opponent. Sure, it turned out The Turk was a hoax, an illusion, but oh wellz, welcome to the work force!
Happy Birfday Colzies!
