snark•y

[snahr-kee] – adjective Chiefly British Slang. testy or irritable; short.


Snarky seems appropriate for the writings of this gal. Try as I might to be polite and understanding (the Man upstairs KNOWS how hard I try) there are just some days when a gal just can’t muster up the strength to not be sarcastic.

This is one of those days.

Here’s how work went today:

Email #1: Sorry suckers, you worked hard, but the economy worked harder. No bonuses for you! Oh, and we’re closing your site. Pack it up and be gone!

Email #2: Mr. So-And-So was promoted today! (fyi: The same Mr. So-And-So who made the decision to close our office. Sweet.)

You’d think such a large company who claims to care for their employees would be a bit more compassionate, and, oh, I don’t know, NOT SEND THOSE TWO EMAILS RIGHT AFTER EACH OTHER???? It’s a good thing we’re all caged in our little cubicles. There could have been mass mayhem.

Next on my mind: The Twilight Saga.

I like the books and movies just as much as those hormone driven teens who wear their Team Jacob t-shirts day and night [for the record, I am totally Team Edward!], but enough already! Word on the street is that there is to be a GRAPHIC NOVEL based on the books by Stephenie Meyer. OK. We have the books. We have the movies. Do we REALLY, REALLY need to kill another tree in order to add pictures to the words? Here’s a thought: If you’re unable to conjure up an image of these characters in your head while you’re reading, then watch the movie. Or have your little teen sister paint a picture for you. Either way, a graphic novel is just overkill.

Enough snarkiness for today… catch y’all later.
