1. ***Public Service Announcement*** LinkedIn Profile Pictures = Professional      And by “professional” I mean business appropriate, not street corner appropriate.  Did I not warn you that LinkedIn was going to be fodder for years to come?  As I ramble through LinkedIn checking out cool articles, conversing with my fellow stat geeks, I am caught off guard at some of the avatars people choose to use.  So much so, that I started collecting my favorites.  Some people collect stamps, others Beanie Babies, but at least with avatars I can look on them and laugh repeatedly. Above are only a snapshot of my favorites.  The “rap sheet” category is overflowing its virtual folder.  Be on the look out for a new LinkedIn picture category that I’ll feature soon… “Paparazzi”. Last word of advice…  STOP WITH THE KITTY PICTURES!  please. Disclaimer:  any likeness or similarities to yourself or people you know may be intentional.  If offended by this post, may I suggest changing your profile pic or seek therapy.

  2. Daniel here is responding to a question about the best way to mistake-proof the warehouse processes. I typically find that asking asses and people leads to quite a mix of answers.  The most unique responses come from the asses, obviously. As far as reassing a process, that must have been missing from my Lean Six Sigma training.  It certainly sounds logical though. Okay, I’m a twelve year old boy — so sue me.

  3. This is why I *love* Zach Galifianakis! thedailywhat: Live TV Bomb of the Day: After watching Hangover II co-star Ed Helms host Satuday Night Live, Zach Galifianakis decided to amble on over to the MSNBC studios next door, bringing along comedian Nick Kroll and The Daily Show’s newest recruit, stand-up comic Al Madrigal. All three snuck into the background of Veronica De La Cruz’s 1:30 AM news update, then stuck around to take this group photo. Cellphone footage of the boys doing their thing was later uploaded to YouTube. See below: [tvnewser / h/t: bwe.]

  4. Unicorns and glitter!!

    Before I get to the meat of this post, a quick shout out to Progressive Insurance for the awesome bundling commercial!!

    Did you know they also have Pet Injury insurance?  Coolio.

    Anyway, on to the deprecating.  Deprecation?

    Glitter.  Sequins.  Not appropriate workplace fashion.

    First, how do you stand doing the laundry?!  I rarely buy glitter/sequin tops for my 6 year old due to this.

    Second, grow up.  You’re not 6.

    Third, I get that you might like bright, shiney things.  But for my sake, as well as my co-workers’, please leave the club-wear at home during the weekday.  Thanks.

    Here’s hoping I no longer have to pick sequins off my shoes after being in the ladies room.  I’m totally serious.  There is a sea of sequins on the floor, probably due to the shoddy sewing job (but the manufacturer probably knew you’d buy it based on the shiney-factor and not the quality one).

  5. Three words.  It’s just that simple! Or maybe not.  Wait, I can play this game… “numbers are foolishness” “don’t hire me” (is a contraction considered cheating?) “I follow instructions” (Note to self:  Linkedin is going to keep this blog going for a lonnnnggggg time)

  6. No degree?…no problem!  No English?…uhhhhhh A goodie from Linkedin. Having taken nearly 20 years to get my ASSOCIATE degree, I’m a big fan of those who can make it in the business world without a degree.  However, if you can’t form a complete sentence, you might want to sign up for that remedial English Composition course at the local community college.  While you’re at it, check out remedial math too.

  7. Discovering Social Media

    I *should* be working… but I’m not.

    I *should* be booking a trip to Bothell, Washington for training… but I’m not.

    I *should* be putting together a new project kick-off presentation… but I’m not.

    What am I doing?

    I’m creating my much overdue social media life.  Flickr, eBlogger, LinkedIn, Digg, YouTube and Tumblr are now better places for having me!  har.

About me

This blog could also be named "Because My Dad Said Not To".
He is not a big fan of publicly critiquing someone... anyone.
But then again, he goes around Facebook critiquing others for... well, critiquing others.
I'm not anything if not my father's daughter.
