Galli Gripes: My Top Five Pet Peeves in Social Media

In case you’ve missed my past Gripes, you should know that a lot of stuff annoys me.  In general, I’m incensed by traffic jams, bad manners, closed-minded individuals, and group texts.  I’m also a social media manager, which means I spend time on social channels to earn my paycheck.  It’s my job to check on […]

Galli Gripes: Easter Weekend Shenanigans: Social Media, Beauty and the Beast, Angry Parents and Dancing Girls

One of my favorite past times is attending movies in the theater, even once I get past the commitment of $62 for just the tickets and a drink.  However, going to the movies is a bit more challenging with the continued popularity of social media.
