Hope Is Not A Strategy

Colgate Ad Campaign

Three News Headlines

First Headline: Venezuela is out of toilet paper: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/may/16/venezuela-toilet-paper-shortage-50m. That really has to suck, I don't even want to think about it. Really? An entire country has run out of toilet paper?

Second Headline: Handbags have more germs than toilet seats! http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/05/15/study-handbags-may-have-more-bacteria-than-a-toilet-seat/ Just one more reason not to carry a purse.

Third Headline: Bad Chinese food results in suspect fleeing accident scene. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/bad-chinese-food-excuse-678435. Thats a tough situation to be in.

JC Penney Strategy Fails

Shockingly, JC Penney's strategy about not having sales has backfired. Why this took a year to determine is ridiculous, I knew it would fail day one. Regardless, the CEO has been fired, the company has lost 25% of it's value, they are now known as JCP and they are bringing back one of their previous CEO's. Good Luck! Full Story Here

Manatee Gray

Target apologized on Thursday for their color description on a plus sized dress. The dress was described as "manatee gray" for plus sizes and "dark heather gray" for smaller sizes.

A look at Kate Middleton's outfits from the last 12 weeks.

Congrats, Kate! 

The Atmospheric River

Weather.com describes this storm as an Atmospheric River. I'm not sure exactly what that is other than a ton of rain but I certainly wouldn't want to be in Redding doing network cut overs in Mount Shasta during the middle of the night every day this week. Be safe!

Chris Matthews Needs To Be Fired

Chris Matthews: "I'm So Glad We Had That Storm Last Week". See the rest of his comments at RealClearPolitics

I'm sure the mother who lost her 2 year old and 4 year old appreciates this and I'm sure those who have had their homes looted are glad, and I am sure the families of the 108 other people that died are thrilled that Sandy hit the US. How about the businesses that will be closed for weeks? How does this guy get away with this crap? MSNBC needs to fire this jackass.

The End Of The Shuttle Program

Brooke was enthralled with the last flight of the Shuttle program and we decided to go up by JPL to watch Endeavor fly over Pasadena. The view was decent but when I got home I saw the pictures my next door neighbor took right out on her front porch and the view was pretty darn good there too.

Epic Windstorm

Last night when I posted that it was windy I had no idea just how much wind we had in store for us. All night I was terrified that the neighbors tree was going to end up in my bedroom, little did I know that we actually would lose our front tree along with almost everyone else in our neighborhood.

Pasadena was hit hard. Stop lights snapped in half, over 450 public trees were lost (not counting parks), many cars in our neighborhood were lost but luckily there were minimal injuries. The girls thought it was very exciting "Look mom, the tree is in the driveway!"


I credit SAngRiA with the title of this post.

Best Companies For Working Moms

For the 4th time Dell was recognized as one of the 100 best companies for working moms. While, I absolutely agree that Dell is outstanding for working moms (and couldn't be prouder to work at Dell) I would have loved to be able to enjoy more than 5 weeks of fully paid maternity leave (still better than most companies) and I am compelled to inform you of some companies that have unbelievably outstanding paid maternity leave:

Cisco-26 fully paid weeks
Deutsche Bank, Covington & Burling, Arnold and Porter-18 fully paid weeks
Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs,Pillsbury Winthrop, National Education Association-16 fully paid weeks
PWC, Pfizer-15 fully paid weeks
Ernst & Young, Deloitte, McKinsey & Co-14 fully paid weeks
LEGO, Citi, FINRA-13 fully paid weeks
Credit Sisse, Bank of America, Bain & Co-12 fully paid weeks

The average for the 100 best companies for working moms is 7 weeks fully paid maternity leave

RIP Steve Jobs

My 401K is in a dire situation with the DOW dropping 15% since July 21st.

Oh and lets tax the rich please, not!
