King Of The Cubicle: A Look at Corporate America From Inside the Cubicle Farm

by JHSEsq

We’ve all expe­ri­enced our share of harm­less flir­ta­tions at the office on any given busi­ness day. Some more harm­less than oth­ers, I’d say, and all fraught with con­tro­versy. Busi­ness meet­ings can be dry and bor­ing, but today’s Ris­ing Blog­ger win­ner, known as King of The Cubi­cle, takes a def­i­nite twist round the con­fer­ence table with […]

Stale Coffee

by JHSEsq

You are lucky when you have a strong sense of fam­ily. When we first read posts from today’s author that was our first impres­sion. In her pro­file Mau­reen writes, “I’m a mother, a daugh­ter, a wife, a com­puter geek, a full-time employee, a part-time artist, a bad gar­dener, a toy col­lec­tor, a clean freak & […]

Here Comes the Storm…in the Form of a Girl

by JHSEsq

We stum­bled into a new blog (to us…the blog recently cel­e­brated both its first anniver­sary and 300th post) and found it is read and com­mented on by a lot of blog authors we enjoy. Now, we under­stand why. It’s author, Star­rlight is a prover­bial hot ticket. She is very much in your face and yet […]

Confessions of a Pioneer Woman

by JHSEsq

We’ll blame it on hor­mones. Or insan­ity. Or The Nut­cracker.All seem to fit. We don’t know why she did it. She doesn’t know why she did it. God prob­a­bly doesn’t even know why she did it. But she did. This story is so amus­ing we refuse to actu­ally tell you what she did, but it has […]

The Theory of Thought

by JHSEsq

To find The Ris­ing Blogger’s Post of the Day you’ll have to make an effort. We can’t link you directly to the indi­vid­ual post. Read­ing blogs with a post or two about our every­day strug­gles of cop­ing in this incred­i­bly com­plex world is hardly unique. Read­ing about such prob­lems from a six­teen year-old’s point of […]

Cool, Calm and Collected

by JHSEsq

A for­mer win­ner of Post of the Day wrote us that she was sorry it took her so long to “pay it for­ward” by nom­i­nat­ing today’s post, but she really said that she took this respon­si­bil­ity very seri­ously. She thought the blog Cool, Calm and Col­lected is par­tic­u­larly excep­tional because of just how can­did, open, […]

Dad Gone Mad

by JHSEsq

We at The Ris­ing Blog­ger see a lot of “mommy blogs.” Dia­pers and car­pools and tem­per­a­tures at mid­night cre­ate a com­fort­able com­raderie of mis­ery and joy in the blo­gos­phere. Today we dis­cov­ered a “daddy blog” of sorts. In fact, this for­mer sports­writer dad has gone stark rav­ing Dad Gone Mad mad. In his post dated […]

Some Pig

by JHSEsq

Caroline’s blog is a bit all over the place. That is not nec­es­sar­ily a bad thing. Caroline’s got strong opin­ions and is extremely can­did. She wrote a post about the equiv­a­lent of a fam­ily like the Bev­erly Hillbilly’s mov­ing into her neigh­bor­hood. She can be both caus­tic and very funny. The post that caught our […]

What I Made for Dinner

by JHSEsq

When we received a nom­i­na­tion for a blog writ­ten by Adri­ana Velez, at first we were not sure what to make of it. The blog we mean, of course, not the woman. To start with, she likes to share recipes. Since we can barely boil water, our first thought was let’s check out the next […]
