A girl has standards...

Dear Microsoft,



I think it would be a great idea if your brain trust of developers over there could develop a way to catch really embarrassing typos in e-mails BEFORE they are sent, thus eliminating such mistakes as the following email I sent to a club manager after completing a site visit in Las Vegas :



Dear Scott -

It was a pleasure meeting you last week. I appreciate your time and assistance during our site visit.

I think the space will work quite well for our event. We have some ideas as to how we want to brand ourselves both inside and outside of the club. I just wish I had spent a little more time looking at the pubic areas ( especially the main entrance where the plasmas are ) At least we have the photos that Nick took during the visit.



Sadly - he was kind of cute, and I would have preferred to discuss pubic areas a little later on in this relationship.



Call me old fashioned....

You asked for it...

After much urging from several of my Facebook friends, and in keeping with my promise to my self that I would start blogging, I would like to present to you Snarky Poodle.

What can you, the reader, expect from Snarky Poodle? Pretty much the long form version of what you see from me on Facebook. So, if you like what you have read from me in the past, then keep reading, and check back often for new posts. If you don't like what you have read from me, then this is where you should log out and don't let the door hit you on the ass.

So for anyone who :

• has a mother who both annoys and amuses them


• has been dying to know if Sketchers Shape Ups really work


• wants book suggestions


• wants to read my rants about shitty customer service ( Yes Delta Airlines, I am talking to you )


• has a morbid sense of humor


• wants to escape political correctness for awhile


• is interested in my views on everything from marriage to death


• wants to see life from my eyes.

then this blog is for you.

A few disclaimers before we begin.

1) I write like I speak and think... all over the place. If you are looking for grammatically correct sentances, then go read Hemmingway. I think it - I write it- you read it.

2) If you happen to be a co worker of mine - congratulations. That means I trust you enough to let you inside my head. Please be respectful of the fact that these are thoughts that I might not want shared with the rest of our company.

3) For the rest of you out there - if you like this blog, then tell a friend. Who knows, maybe I will become the next Jen Lancaster and if that is the case, then thanks in advance.

4) Be patient with me. I am still finding my voice.
