Fresh Fish

From Boston.com this morning:


Some folks think these ads from Legal Sea Foods go too far. Personally, I think they're great. You know what they say, if it smells like fish...

Oh never mind.

I love those ads. Locally, there's a seafood restuarant in the same development as an aquarium (yes, landlocked cities have those too, go figure.) They ran a local campaign for the venue something along the lines of 'see fish/eat fish'... I loved that, too.

Hi Lynt - I think fun ads like this are great. I actually pay more attention to them.

Ha! I have to read this on the very day my tropical fish tank springs a leak - eeeeeek!

People who complain about something as harmless as this need to seriously get a life. You should have seen the ad campaign hubby won an award for for tampons.. (teehee)!

"if it smells like a fish...it's probably a duck"???

Shrinky - Sorry to hear about the tank. Hope everything worked out ok.

I would love to hear (or read) more about the ad campaign. You have got me curious.

Hey RJ - I think that fish is cute too! I hope they don't pull those ads. I think they are pretty entertaining.

Oh Lord, it was long before I met him, but he still displays the darn thing in his office (yawn).

Did you guys ever get the Cadbury's Flake Ad's over your way? Now THAT is what I call raunchy. Hubby played a small part in those too. (Very small)

They picture a girl with, um, er.. well - guess you really need to see them (giggle)..

LOVE IT! I'd rather see an ad for Barking Crabs. Because "Everyone Should Have Crabs".

Never saw the Cadbury's Flake Ad's Shrinky. I wonder if I could find these ads on Google or Youtube? I think I would get a big kick out of them. They picture a girl with big chocolates?

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

You Are Hereby Put On Official Notice

...that I am outta City Hall in three weeks. I am giving my notice at work on Monday, something I hate to do. I have been very worried about the economic climate and my continued status as a dependent contractor at my current organization. My position is funded until June, but with a freeze both on hiring and overtime and worsening conditions, I feel I need to get out while I can. Being a contractor affords me no unemployment insurance and if things continue as they are, I think jobs will be harder to come by as June nears. I have accepted a position at a University in the Boston area. The commute will still pretty much stink, but it is a 35 hour week and there is the opportunity to work remotely (i.e. from my dining room) one day a week. I am really looking forward to joining this organization and very excited to be working in higher ed. Giving my notice is going to be very tough. I have been with my current organization, as both a full time employee and a contractor, for over 8 years...
