Lists

This week I sprang into action as an adult after a series of awful events erased everything I've worked on. Thank you to my tech friends for having the tact to shut the fuck up. It's important to remember that I am the marketing director not the CTO and that when my eyes are filled with tears I don't want technical advice - I want a hug and a beer.

THE TO-DO LIST
The week ended well when I met with the folks from Stylemob. Cofounder Sasha Cagen just wrote a book called, "The To-do List" - a series of lists that reveal who we are.

As a communications person, I wrote a list of the worst things I've ever said or written:

• I'm sorry, we have not seen your son in 2 months
• It appears you do not qualify for financial assistance at this time. Do you have temporary housing?
• We are taking steps to rectify the issue of the uninvestigated infant deaths
• You have been in contact with someone suffering from HIV
• While they recovered more than 100,000 pieces of DNA evidence, your sister was not a match. They will call as soon as they locate the body.

After looking at the list I realized internet crises are for complete wimps. While I feel thoroughly shat upon this week, I know that for the most part I am one lucky bastard.

THE GIVING THANKS LIST

• My Love and Best Friend
• Cool Friends
• Supportive Family

*Funny how some of the worst moments can make you feel the most loved. Thanks.
