In my spare time, I like to read

I read an article in O magazine that talked about how people consider “timing.” They offered a little test to see how you feel about an actual issue: get a friend, hold out your arm and have the friend press on it, have them ask questions involving the issue and timing (will this get done in the next 5 years?), when you tell the truth, your arm will hold strong; when you lie, your arm will falter. She wrote on to say that to get in tune with your emotional timing, be “in the moment” and listen to your pulse. I’ve been pretty neutral about timing. Sometimes I’m on, sometimes, I’m not. But I do have that timing voice telling me something needs to get done, or telling me to be realistic about a situation. Currently, I’ve avoiding ordering more “December” cards at work. I know we need more. I knew we needed more last week. I have to do it today because I have jury duty tomorrow. But I’m afraid to because to order them, I would be making an executive decision. I’m not worried about making the decision, I’m worried I’ll be punished for making an executive decision. It’s not that I’m incapable of making an executive decision. It’s that I’m aware other people think I’m incapable.
Oh Politics.
As a side note, my new Performance Fleece from Old Navy is amazing. Worth the $15 it actually costs, even better that I only paid $5

Things women do better than men:
They’re better managers in this economy. Better multi-taskers, better listeners, better organizers, etc.
Women live longer
Stronger immune systems
Women eat healthier foods
Women graduate college more often and quicker than men
More recession-proof (more men are losing their jobs than women)
Better at getting comfort. Women talk to their friends about what’s bothering them
Survive car accidents more often than men
Women evolve to be more attractive

Have I mentioned that I hate it when people say, "what are you going to do?" after you tell them something with static results. "I got laid off" "What are you going to do?" I think that question should actually be: "What am I going to do with you?" because, really, that's what they're sayin'. No one cares what you're actually going to do, or how it's actually going to affect you. They care how it's going to affect them.
