Ellen Explains Everything: Advice from Yours Truly

My hometown newspaper is looking for a new advice columnist. They were accepting written or video submissions. You had to answer a sample prompt question. I decided to use my brand-new MacBook (LOVE IT)* and record my answer. Because that just seemed more fun.
So here goes! My first (and possibly only, since I hear there's some stiff competition for this spot) advice column:**



* Also, may I just add how nice it is to have a computer again, after 3 months of sharing with my roomie? Love to roomie, but I am a computer addict. Also, it is hard to write on a Linux machine with no MS Word program. SIGH.

** Also, our responses had to be under 60 seconds. Do you have any idea how HARD that was for me?! ... Not that I talk a lot...

  2. Sounds like good advice to me, Ellen. I can't put it to the test because I work alone. Well, except for Zadie, and she definately won't rub my feet, she won't even bring me coffee. But she will let me scratch her head... she's canine.
