Have you seen this?

In short, AshleyMadison.com assists married people in finding others to have affairs with. So, it's like Match.com for cheating...

While 90 percent of me is totally disgusted at the thought, the other 10 percent is intrigued at not only the business model but also with the ethics behind it.

In your opinion, should these sites be allowed to exist? I don't think it's anyone right to govern or decide what my morals should be...but I also don't like the thought of websites tailoring to such a lack of moral judgment (of course, in my opinion) - making it easy for people to cheat on their spouses.

The site's been getting quite a lot of media attention. Check some of it out here. Noticeable appearance on Ellen, the Tyra Banks Show and Good Morning America.

What are your thoughts?

Take notes! Lessons on how to be the perfect girlfriend.

How to be the perfect girlfriend... This brings the laughs and is, per my understanding, quite true... :-)

Today's the day...

Today is the day that could really make a difference. It's on to Round 2 with the unnamed company! I really feel that we mesh well - I think I have things and experiences to bring to the table. As well, I believe there is so much to be learned from them.

My awesome former boss wrote me an amazing letter of recommendation yesterday. Which...of course...really makes me wish I still worked with her. Oh well... :-) Such is the situation with layoffs.

I always think a difficult part of interviewing is this:

"So, Sarah, do you have any questions for me?"

I always plan these in advance... :-)

Today, I think I have come up with some real stellar questions. Give 'em a read and let me know what you think:

Team 1 Questions:
1 - What would you say are the best and worst aspects of your jobs?
2 - What do you see as keys to being successful at your positions?

Person 1 Questions:
1 - What do you see as an area of opportunity or growth for unnamed company?
2 - How do you think the economy will effect participation in unnamed company?


Well, I'm going to get back to it! Wish me luck!

Google search yields interesting results

What the heck?! While searching for how to get my puppy to stop licking I see that "how to get" yields some very interesting results. I really like the entry "how to get on myspace at school".

Sudekum Planetarium

Don't know if any of you out there have visited the Sudekum Planetarium yet but you really should! The BF and I went on Valentine's Day and again this past Saturday (for Second Saturdays). We've seen Skies Over Nashville, Stars of the Pharaohs and Stars.

The lady who led our show talked about Earth Hour which is coming up on March 28. Basically, schools, governments, businesses and citizens all across the world are going dark...shutting of their lights and saving energy. Very cool. Very, very cool. Let's all do it!

So, what's going on for St. Patty's day? What are your plans?

Getting back into this thing...

Hello there! It's been a while, yes. However, it seems that I have an inordinate amount of time on my hands these days! So, if anyone out there is still following my blog, how are you all doing?

I know I'm late on the Twitter bandwagon, but I just got a Twitter account today. I've been of the thought that "Who really wants to read my updates in minute increments?" But, it seems that there is so much to be had and learned from this site.

You can follow me here: twitter.com/SashInNash

If you're on there, too - well, let me know.

Also, it seems that I am looking for work. Therefore, I have uploaded my resume here if you are (1) interested or (2) in a position to hire me.
