Snark Scribe: June 2007
http://snarkscribe.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Not all of us can meet people of quality. Thursday, June 28, 2007. My friend was hired to make custom pillows and drapes for a wedding. She showed me the fabric, which made me cringe. The first fabric was HOT PINK with a raised swirl pattern. (My friend called it "Hello Kitty fingerprints"). The material felt odd to the touch, like some combination of acrylic and paper. I was in awe that someone over the age of 13 would use those at all, much less at a wedding. Posted by Snark Scribe @ 10:26 PM. My fathe...

Snark Scribe: December 2006
http://snarkscribe.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Not all of us can meet people of quality. Thursday, December 28, 2006. Ambiguity in the CIA. I received an email, with the subject: "Career Opportunities with the CIA.". At first I thought it was spam; perhaps a "cheep Vioxxxxxx" ad disguised as a job-recruitment email. Upon reading it I realized the sender was in earnest. Oh dear. They mean business. Are you a person of purpose, patriotism and professionalism? Ooh, look. Alliteration. But even more so? That's supposed to be enticing to a job applicant?

El Vermino Boulevard: April 2008
http://ev-boulevard.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
This is a collaborative blog. Well, let's face it, they all are. But, specifically, this one's a collaboration between me, my friend Camii, and sometimes my brother. Here you'll find waitressing stories, bar quotes, movie reviews, and the occasional cake. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. I just got off the phone with my mom. We were talking about my house for a bit. Mom: Did your dad say anything to you about a dog? Me: No. I mentioned it the other day, but he didn't really say anything about it. I'm steering ...

Snark Scribe: Paranoia
http://snarkscribe.blogspot.com/2010/02/paranoia.html
Not all of us can meet people of quality. Monday, February 15, 2010. When I started working at my current job people told me about a former employee that had to be escorted out of the building on her last day. During her time at work it became painfully clear that she had some mental problems. She would stand outside doors, waiting for someone to let her in (instead of opening them herself) because "they're tracking me.". I'm not sure if anyone figured out who "They" are. Next time: The religious nut.

Snark Scribe: April 2007

Not all of us can meet people of quality. Saturday, April 28, 2007. Random high school memory:. For prom my school hired a professional studio to take photos, for a fee. Different photo packages were available, with the cost dependent on the number and size of photos. When my friend "Jenny" and her date reached the front of the line, her date said to the photographer, without any hesitation,"The cheapest package, please! Posted by Snark Scribe @ 3:01 PM.

Snark Scribe: January 2007
http://snarkscribe.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Not all of us can meet people of quality. Sunday, January 28, 2007. My roommate had a visitor who decided to bring a gift of several bottles of wine. He proudly told everyone that he bought them at the dollar store. He seemed somewhat surprised that the bottles were still full when he left. ("I was trying to impress everyone with my thriftiness."). The wine was from Africa and the bottle said it had hints of "gooseberries, green figs and asparagus.". Posted by Snark Scribe @ 6:42 PM. Personally, I think ...

Snark Scribe: A Sigh of Relief
http://snarkscribe.blogspot.com/2009/09/sigh-of-relief.html
Not all of us can meet people of quality. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. A Sigh of Relief. For the past several months my fiance and I have been trying to buy a house. For the past month we have been dealing with unexpected delays, demands and other issues that have drained me of my spare time. When I get collected I will write about the comedy of errors. But right now I am very relieved. We got the keys this week. Posted by Snark Scribe @ 6:36 AM. Not all of us can meet people of quality.

Snark Scribe: 5 Months?
http://snarkscribe.blogspot.com/2010/02/5-months.html
Not all of us can meet people of quality. Monday, February 15, 2010. Someone spammed one of my posts with links to a porn site. When I got the notification I realized it's been nearly 5 months since I posted. Holy crap, where does the time go? Since my last post I have been knee-deep in moving, house repairs, cleaning, wedding planning, cleaning, overtime at work, cleaning . . . The good news is that being busy at a job means new crazy co-worker stories. Posted by Snark Scribe @ 8:33 AM. A Sigh of Relief.
