With facebook and gmail blocked at work, I was perusing the internet for something mindless that I could use to pass the time during a slow Friday afternoon. After catching up on the latest royal wedding news on people, I decided to check the NY Times for something a little more substantial…. but still not quite productive reading. And I found it. Some of you may already read this column, but if not- I highly recommend the “Social Q’s” column by Philip Galanes. Some of the articles are definitely better than others- but for the most part I love his witty and to-the-point advice for some daily annoyances. If you haven’t seen this column, he has archived the articles on his website:

Philip has also posted his biography on the website. He seems like the perfect man- he has a home in the Hamptons and NYC, writes for the NY Times, works on the boards of private companies, practices law and has tons of pictures of him and his dog on his website. Don’t worry- I’m not delusional- no madwoman is in his future. Sadly.
