AND although not necessarily funny this is totally F-U-N!. Check out this awesome giveaway from Christy at Skinned Knees. I want to win, but it I don’t, this is what I might ask my husband to get me for my birthday (he likes to be told exactly, but I like surprises). I am obsessed with bags.
Check out the bag! I will dream of this, most likely:

Thanks, Christy! In my opinion, every runner needs one of these! Enter to win by August 19th! And check out Skinned Knees for more product info!
What about you? Does your job require you to solve problems regularly? Are your efforts appreciated? Do spelling and grammatical errors get on your nerves? Don’t worry, I won’t spellcheck your comments (publicly). Do you like bags?
LOL….love this post! My job is totally about multi-tasking and problem-solving. By the end of the week, I’m sure my conflict resolution skills are depleted and I’m not feeling much like a people person 🙂
You crack me up.
Thanks, Rachael! It is so funny that you mention “loose” and “lose” because that is what Jen corrected me on! I had it under my blog title that I wanted to “loose” a little weight. HAHA! I was horrified and you can bet I never do that anymore!
totally feel you on the spelling thing!! every once in a while i can let it slide but if it is a word that you just know they should have spelled correctly…that is FRUSTRATING. your husband’s note is absolutely hysterical!
This made go and check my status! LOL! Phew! I think I’m good… 🙂
My spelling used to be a source of shame. My spelling hasn’t improved at all, but my attitude has. I am a professional writer. There are professional copywriters. They need something to do. My problem with reading whole words, and reading and writing them far too quickly helps create jobs in a troubled economy. That’s how I choose to see it. I don’t always spellcheck my facebook comments and I don’t always put on make-up to go to the grocery store. I think I have an eye on what’s important.
That note is priceless.
I am being totally bad and reading blogs when I should be working but oh well! I have big issues with misspelling and grammar issues as well. My biggest pet peeve! The way we communicate lately has really deteriorated our own language and it is just scary to think a child may grow up texting “R U there? I shld come c u” and think that is right! So we share pet peeves! I really hate it when people who are intelligent and use the wrong word for something too. And I am beginning to think we’re twins…….I have a giant bag issue too! I love purses, bags, etc. I have too many and of course I will register for the giveaway at Skinned Knee. Thanks for sharing!
The occasional spelling error doesn’t bother me, but when I see someone consistently making errors, I get really worked up about it. It sounds silly, but it really is bothersome! Anyway, I can relate. 🙂 Cute note!
I feel the same about spelling. It irks me when people spell things wrong, like “loose” and “lose” and the “there/they’re/their” issue. UUGGHHH.
Hope your knees and head get to feelin’ better!
Sara,
that is so funny about the spelling mistake. I am usually a stickler about spelling too, but the last few days I have been on pain meds and I have been spelling everything wrong and when I go back and look at papers and homework I realize how messed up they are. It is embarassing.
I still haven’t figured out when to use “effect” and “affect”…my biggest spelling challenge. LOL!
Mike’s letter was hilarious. It is good to get teased once and awhile. Especially from the ones we love.
Hope you feel better.
Umm, my dad has a PhD in English Composition and he texts like a 13 year old girl. It’s so annoying!
Sara, I think you and ‘Mikole’ are both pretty funny!
Yes, spelling and grammar mistakes both make my skin crawl. Unfortunately, I do not have the best typing skills so I get to say my spelling errors are actually due to that! I cringe when I see poor grammar in newpaper articles. Drives me nuts.
I used to BE the help desk in our IT dep’t at my last job. I had a secret sign in my desk that read:
I AM SURE YOU DO NOT REALIZE THAT YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT NECESSARILY MY EMERGENCY.
Helped with my sanity lots of days.
Have a great weekend and rest those knees!
Oh, and never forget my favorite quote: BAD PLANNING ON YOUR PART DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN EMERGENCY ON MY PART!!!!!
I’ve found it quite useful!!
