Nobody likes a thief. Yet every year, those of us that are forced to change every one of our clocks(I guess Arizona thinks they are so cool because they don't switch back and forth like the rest of us) because some arbitrary time clock boss tells us we have to, we allow time to be … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Daylight Savings vs. Nightlight Savings
Bitter Rivalry of the Week
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: George Washington vs. Abraham Lincoln
For the first time in 15 years, I won't be working the day after President's Day. This is a good thing, because it used to be the worst day at my old job. It was always a double duty day, because most of the dealer's we worked with didn't get President's Day off, so we … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: George Washington vs. Abraham Lincoln
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Kangaroo pouch vs. Pant Pockets
The transportation industry is a 7.4 trillion dollar a year (according to Wikipedia in 2014, a reliable source if I've ever found one) industry with trains, planes, automobiles and duck bus getting us from point A to point B and across maps, and locations safely all day and all night 24 hours a day, 7 … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Kangaroo pouch vs. Pant Pockets
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Social Media Engagements vs. People Engagements
I've spent an awful lot of time this semester hearing a lot of social media "buzzwords". There is reach, user generated content, remarketing, content curation, funneling, conversions, and native advertising. But there is one word I've heard more than any this semester and not really wanting to hear:engagements. It's probably because I go to a … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Social Media Engagements vs. People Engagements
Bitter Rivalry of the Week – Nephew vs. Nephew
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7xG9TfteJ0 I've talked a lot about football lately, which is kind of crazy to me, because I only have a passing interest in it. I enjoy watching the long pass plays, but you know the thing about football? Pro football is owned by billionaires, played my millionaires, and fantasy played by thousandaires. I get them … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week – Nephew vs. Nephew
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: College Football vs. 3rd Grade Football
I was an odd duckling growing up. I guess that makes sense when I was born in California and lived there until I was 6, then moved to New York and lived there until I was 8. Then moved to South Dakota until I was 18. That kind of cultural yanking can make a … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: College Football vs. 3rd Grade Football
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: The Red Pill vs. The Blue Pill
The Matrix is my all time favorite surprise movies. After I graduated college, I continued to be just as much of a dork as I was in college and that meant I went to see a lot of movies alone. I was okay with that because it was really hard to find people as bitter … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: The Red Pill vs. The Blue Pill
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Fight vs. Flight
They say when you mess up and get yourself trapped in a corner, like when I was painting the deck, the other 20 years ago, you have one of two responses on how to get out of the mess you got yourself into. As an expert in literally and figuratively painting myself into corners on … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Fight vs. Flight
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Foods that taste good vs. Heartburn
Ever since Adam and Eve left the garden, there has always been a fight. A fight for real estate. All of sudden, there was a place they couldn't get and that drove the price of the real estate up. And ever since then there has been the horribly clique saying that real estate is … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Foods that taste good vs. Heartburn
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: My stomach vs. My Face
As the trees continue their jerky behavior by littering all their leaves on the ground, and not picking up after themselves, as the grass continues to die a slow painful death, and as the snowman continue to be wait in icy cold anticipation for the weather to be just right for them to come out … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: My stomach vs. My Face
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: The Roads vs The Car
Every single day, an epic battle commences between these two bitter rivals. The rubber meets the road. The pavement meets the tire. The asphalt meets the exhaust and when all is said and done both are left exhausted. The bitter rivalry of the week is the car vs. the road. All roads every want to be … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: The Roads vs The Car
