If you read my post the other day about the service industry, you will appreciate this fine addendum by Trees, regarding her experiences.

While I did do a short stint as a coffee jerk in Minneapolis, bad experiences with customers were rare. Really rare. Which was why I was shocked to find what Trees verified was true: MN might just be "the land of ten-thousand dickheads". But Trees hits home that not letting their negativity bring you down is powerful mojo. Returning vinegar with sugar is more powerful yet (sometimes). Good to know. Thanks, Trees!


And if you want to read someone who can add another angle to my rant about L.A., check out this post by the Northern Misfit. More specifically leveled at the self-proclaimed 'critics' of the entertainment industry, Avindair suggests the movie critics make their own movie and get put on the hotseat.

Amen to that. I want to see Simon try to sing in front of judges on national TV, and I would like to be in the judges chair to hand him his ass. I would send that boy home, cryin to his mama! That goes for music, film, and writing reviewers as well.


Lastly, take your peepers for a walk on this site. The Geek Goddess Speaks! I'm looking forward to what happens here.

I'm also really digging Lifehacker (OK, I said Lastly before with the Geek Goddess link, but it's too late to correct it now, I've already uploaded this blogpost...) The advice is all over the place, but has the ultimate goal of making life easier, simpler, more organized, while still embracing your inner geek. For example, you could learn how to kill 90 days in the slammer, how to open a beer bottle with another bottle, How to make Windows stop annoying you, and that's just the useful stuff!
