Daily Life

Offensively Smelly

June 29, 2016June 23, 2016 thequirkydigestLeave a comment

I have a pattern here of talking about things that I make, and the train that I take.  The two are usually interconnected as I have a lot of time to myself on my daily commute.  This time, I’d like to talk about smells. Yes. Smells. If you have ever been in a public space,…… Continue reading Offensively Smelly

Sparkle You Shawl

June 25, 2016January 4, 2017 thequirkydigestGalleryLeave a comment

*Update 06/27/2016* Item has sold! In light of a recent referendum that is tearing the European Union apart, here is a lovely shawl I made a few weeks ago. I have no idea what to do with this shawl.  But it’s pretty.  It didn’t take me very long to make.  The yarn is a very…… Continue reading Sparkle You Shawl

Picky Battles

June 24, 2016June 23, 2016 thequirkydigestLeave a comment

I am not exactly the best person to give this kind of advice, but it has to be said. Pick your battles carefully. I am pretty crabby when it comes to certain things, and very angry when pushed or when I bottle it up long enough.  Especially so when I’m also hangry (hungry+angry). However, there…… Continue reading Picky Battles

Cup Holders

June 22, 2016June 14, 2016 thequirkydigest3 Comments

Cup holders.  A first world solution to a first world problem.  But honestly, why not?  According to the New York MTA around 1.8 billion people use the subway service and 85 million people use the railroad annually.  That’s a lot of people.  Most of which are probably repeat riders, like myself.  I see many people…… Continue reading Cup Holders

Globalized Inequality

June 21, 2016June 21, 2016 thequirkydigest4 Comments

On June 6th, the BBC published this article, about Uber’s entrance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  It should be good news that a company like Uber is expanding, and offering services to people in more countries.  And it is good news.  However, it still shows us that in this day and age, women in…… Continue reading Globalized Inequality

Rainbow Child Scarf

June 18, 2016June 14, 2016 thequirkydigest2 Comments

The world is full of bad people.  Dangerous, evil, and cruel people.  People who want to hurt others for whatever reason they can come up with. Most people are not like this.  Most people are kind, generous, empathetic, and loving.  These wonderful people are all around you.  They are your family, your friends, your co-workers,…… Continue reading Rainbow Child Scarf

Mentor Me

Do a quick google search and you will find plenty of resources on how to be a good mentor, or how to find a good mentor, great traits that mentors have and bla bla. Most of us are in serious need of a mentor.  But you can’t just find a mentor.  It’s not like you…… Continue reading Mentor Me

Helpless Help

June 15, 2016May 31, 2016 thequirkydigestLeave a comment

A few days ago, I had the pleasure of calling a company we do business with to clarify specific information regarding a specific process. Actually, let me start from the top.  I am one of those people who will do as much research as possible to find out the who, what, where, when, why, and…… Continue reading Helpless Help

Check Yourself

June 10, 2016May 31, 2016 thequirkydigestLeave a comment

We’ve all been told, at one point in our lives, to check our work.  To proofread what we’ve done.  To review our papers, before we hand them in for our grades.  And most of us, don’t. I was one of those students.  I would usually print it out, give it a quick once-over, and hand…… Continue reading Check Yourself
