Ask Miss Know It All

Send questions to: dealingwithdivas@gmail.com 

Dear Miss Know It All,

Keeping with what will probably be a “Valentine’s” theme for this month, what are your thoughts on “being in love with the boss.” Good? Bad?

Moral Dilemma

Dear Moral,

Oh my. Where to start. Do you really want me to answer this? I guess, if the boss is single and so are you, it’s a non-issue. UNLESS your work place doesn’t allow it. And many do  discourage that.
If either one of you is married, it’s just not a good place for either of you to be. Of course you already knew I was going to say that. What you might be surprised to hear is that I am all for people being themselves! No sneaking around! So if this is really a serious relationship, then I suggest you sit down like adults and have a serious discussion about where you are headed.
Consider all the options: are there  spouses, children and/or others that will be affected by your actions? Of course there are! So make a game plan TOGETHER. Making a plan on your own means the other person is probably not as “into you” as you may think.
If this is one sided, and only wishful thinking, you need to re-think it all. Actually, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with mixing work with pleasure, but if this is all in your head, then what’s the point? Be the smart person I know you can be. Talk it out with the other person, not with an advice columnist!

Interesting list of nominations for this year’s Oscars. Read more here. Do you have any favorites? I’m a fan of composer Shore who is nominated for Hugo. Also really happy to see Viola Davis for The Help and Noah Hill nominated for Moneyball.

The Oscars will be shown on ABC on Sunday, February 26th.

RIP Etta James

(1938-2011)

“You can’t fake this music. You might be a great singer or a great musician but, in the need, that’s got nothing to do with it.

It’s how you connect to the songs and to the history behind them. “

Have a Lucky Day

I work on the 13th floor of a luxury high rise building.

Of course the elevator only goes to the 12th floor.

The button then says Penthouse 1.

So silly.

Have a good one today.
