It’s not easy being green…

This is my favorite, my favorite, my favorite find of the week!!  TEAL – the Typo Eradication Advancement League.  They’re currently on a trek across the US, correcting typos with their handy-dandy typo correction kit.  I love it!  Perhaps once an English major, ALWAYS an English major?!

And I kept choosing the wrong curtain here.  Many Let’s Make a Deal watchers are cruising out of the desirable ad demographic, into a sort of no-man’s-land audience (we’re shelling out the money to our children so they can buy and stimulate the economy instead of us buying fun things for ourselves).  But even if you never watched the show, it’s good to know the psychological whys and wherefores.

When I worked at a major retailer, one of the questions we asked during the interview was the following: “Is it okay if someone you work with steals $5.00 from the  register?”  The ‘correct’ answer is no, because if someone thinks it’s okay to steal $5.00, what’s to stop them from thinking it’s okay to steal $500.00?  Theft is wrong, regardless of the amount.  These guys in California would not have gotten the job.

And because I am nothing if not helpful, even if it’s just about chocolate, I offer this guide for ensuring optimum confectionery freshness.

Have a great week!
