What a week I'm having...!

About Me


A comment made about me the other day: "Erin is much funnier in writing than in person."

My explanation - In writing, I have more time to disguise my bitterness with humor...In person, well, I'm not that quick.

"I had a neighbor, and whenever he would knock on my wall I knew he wanted me to turn my music down, and that made me angry because I like loud music, so when he knocked on the wall I'd mess with his head. I'd say: "Go around! I cannot open the wall. I don't know if you have a doorknob on the other side, but over here there's nothing. It's just flat." -Mitch Hedberg-

My Office is a Symphany of Sniffles, Coughs, and Groans

Why do people feel entitled to tell a person who is obviously sick, that they look like crap?  What happened to common discretion?  I obviously know that I look like poo because I am pe...

The Curse of Del Rae

I'm beginning to think that in the game of life, I've hit a whammy when it comes to neighbors.  And not the fun whammy dressed up as Michael Jackson doing the moon walk, I pulled the chicken...
