Expectations

I have to admit that I ride the fence about managing expectations. Sometimes, I think it’s a total bullshit word like engagement media, social media and Web 2.0.

Stop?

Thanks to Adam for passing along this hysterical gem. I promise, other Clients are like this, but not us 🙂

Tiny Signs

Thanks to Dear Jane Sample, I got to see the below picture fairly early this morning. Not sure why, but that stupid, tiny sign helped me make it through the day. So here’s to all the tiny signs and post secrets that someone leaves for someone else to find.

When I was 25

I’ve spent a lot of the day thinking about my  When I was 10 post from yesterday. It sucks that as we grow up we stop acting like kids because there’s never enough “time”. We should all slide down the slides more and swing on swings and spend an hour lying in the grass and […]

Sounds great and easy right? There has […]
