Distressing News for Cuddle Party 2.0

So, I was all excited because Provalone La Loperena was going to join Cuddle Party 2.0 (Jerzee style.) She and I had some artistical discussions, and we decided that what CP2.0 needs is a slammin' keytar player. 

But no keytars were to be found! Not at Toys R Us, not at KB Toys... what has happened to the youth players of keytar??? 

Miggety-Macbook

Dude. 

DUDE! 

Seriously. I mean... wow. 

I have had my mac book since Tuesday, but I've kept it in its box, in my closet. My excuse was that I was too sick to do anything but sleep and watch TV, which was true. But also, I can admit it. I was a little scared. 

So I slept most of yesterday and finally today decided I needed to unpack the Book, if only so I could recharge my shuffle so I could go to the gym. (My activities require prerequisites.) So I did. About five minutes ago. 

Now I'm online, a-bloggin'. It figured out the day and time and found me a network and helpfully pointed out that I have access t iTunes and if I feel like it I could very easily buy the new Magnetic Fields album, because it didn't want to say anything but it thinks I've been working too hard lately and deserve a little treat, and it would be SO EASY to buy it. 

But then it took a picture of me with its little camera and that was our first fight, but I think we'll work through it. Maybe.

I Can Has Mac Book?

The deal is done, and in 2-3 business days, I'll be... one of them! Or, as I'll say when I have it, one of us.

Liase with me

As much as I dislike 'utilize', I find, oddly, that I like 'liase'. I know it's a b.s. buzzword, and yet, when I read that someone 'liases with clients' I'm kind of impressed. Just a bit.

Please, please, please!

So, now that I'm officially an HR profeshunal, I can say this with full authority: do not use the word 'utilize' anywhere, ever. Not in your cover letter, not in the objective on your resume, not EVER. It's horrible. Just use the word use. (If I said, 'just utilize the word use', that would sound awful, wouldn't it? Yes. Yes it would.)
