Spilling the Beans

Sales 101

javajennifer admins | May 22, 2008

Sometimes people are jerks for no other reason than just that they can be.  Such is my life in sales, where people give me money and then treat me like garbage as though it’s an actual clause in the contract.   After jumping through hoops for one of my more strategic clients the Sr. Director [...]

Which animal should I eat first?

javajennifer admins | May 21, 2008

  I haven’t written anything interesting for days, in part because some of what I really want to write about, I can’t and in part because by the time I get home from the office and do my “musts”, I can’t wait to crawl between my sheets and sleep.  Sleep, the antidote for stress, the [...]

Cutting the Cord

javajennifer admins | May 18, 2008

Although the season finale of Lost is still two weeks away, I disconnected my cable boxes and readied them for the trip to Comcast tomorrow afternoon.  With summer nearly here, the long list of things I want to accomplish was very much at odds with my penchant for Saturday and Sunday re-runs of  Beverly Hills [...]

What a Croc!

javajennifer | May 15, 2008

Behind every man wearing a hideous pair of Crocs at the airport, is a wife who does his shopping.  Because no self-respecting man wears Crocs.  Ever.  And in that vain, I dedicate today’s blog to men and fashion.   But back to the guy in the airport.  So I’m in the Fly Clear Line (which [...]

It is what it is, Part II

javajennifer admins | May 13, 2008

It is what it is.  I probably say those 5 words 30 times a day if I say them once.  It’s my version of counting to 10, “serenity now”, c’est la vie.  In other words, for someone like me who tends to be Type A and for whom control is evertything, to acknowledge that there [...]

27 Dresses

javajennifer admins | May 12, 2008

At 38,000 feet, you’ll watch any in-flight movie put in front of you which is how I came to be watching the movie 27 Dresses which, if you haven’t seen it (and I hope to god you haven’t) stars Katherine Heigle as lonely New Yorker who has been a bridesmaid 27 times and James Marsden [...]

Leaving California

javajennifer admins | May 11, 2008

I lost weight this week but I won’t be able to give the fund-raising update until I get back in the office on Monday.  Bloging from California, my mom in the next room organizing her new iMac which we picked up this afternoon at South Coast Plaza, the OC of the OC.   I attribute [...]

Um. Who won the Laker’s Game?

javajennifer | May 8, 2008

I think the Lakers played Utah last night.  I dunno.    The slowest kiss can make time stop even when the time you have together can be numbered in the single digits.  A soft touch can make a hotel room feel like home.  The two combined can make a real estate investment in Las Vegas [...]

What Happens in Vegas…

javajennifer | May 7, 2008

I met Mr. Wii last night at a small casino off the strip called The Tuscany  Unlike the massive hotel-casinos that line Las Vegas Boulevard, The Tuscany is quaint.  Less glitter.   Anything I write about Mr. Wii will sound contrived.   And I can give you one hundred reasons as to why seeing him [...]

Meeting Mr. Wii

javajennifer | May 6, 2008

  I’m pretty sure that I was one step away from being an episode of CSI.  I needed a Wii for the tradeshow tomorrow and when I tried to get one in Virginia all the legitimate sources didn’t have any in stock.  Then I found one on Amazon, ordered it but the guy wouldn’t ship [...]
