A collection of random bits that I think are great and think you should find great too. Enjoy.

I somehow ended up doing graphic design. I like it, but get mad when my teacher friends text me to let me know they're having a snow day- it makes me want to stomp on their toes.

I'm a woman, hear me roar.

  • A conversation at work today reminded me of this old conversation I had with our old VP when our companies first merged. This was one of the first conversations I had with him. In lieu of actual names, we'll call him donkey.
  • Donkey: Ashlie, see that plant over there?
  • Me: Yes....?
  • Donkey: I need you to find another container that is bigger, and replant it and start watering it.
  • Me: Plants aren't really my forte. I'm clueless, and probably not the person for the job.
  • Donkey: (seems shocked) Really? I thought you would know all about planting?
  • Me: Because I'm a girl? ...well I don't.
  • Moral: Donkey needs to brush up on the fact that it is 2011 and men take care of plants also. And if you want someone in your office to re-pot a plant and water it regularly- they better be a hired landscaper because I have better things to do.
