Attack Of The Killer Accounting Managers
Liquid courage. We’ve all seen it in action; some of us even remember our own acts of drunken “bravery.” As the only sober person at a business dinner, my downfall was that I believed the sloshed slobs surrounding me. I … Continue reading
When The Chips Are Down
For all my years of eavesdropping in restaurants, turnaround was bound to happen eventually. I met my friend for dinner last night—we went to Old Ebbitt because they have an appetizer of homemade potato chips topped by generous amounts of … Continue reading

You know I just can’t resist listening in on conversations around me…so naturally while I was sitting in the salon the other night I was all ears. There were two women chatting right next to me, and I started hearing … Continue reading

Several firms ago, I had a managing partner who was not exactly the soft sensitive type. She was tiny in stature and reminded me mostly of a Chihuahua; she had a loud bark, lots of nervous energy, nipped at everyone’s heels, and … Continue reading
