The 2009 Word of the Year, according to the New Oxford English Dictionary was unfriend, which seems befitting as 2009 really wasn’t such a great year and weaning yourself of some of the excess fat/friends seemed like a good idea!
2008’s word was hypermiling, where you tried to get the most gas mileage out of your car.. and with gas prices through the roof, that word also seemed somewhat appropriate.
2007’s word was bacn, which was an odd choice, though I love the bacn movement as they sent me a box of bacon once, 2006’s was “carbon neutral“, which seems like two words, but hey, and 2005’s was podcasting.
WELL…. 2010 is upon us! I’m optimistic that the “tens” will be better than the “aughts“… or the “naughts“.. or the “naughties“.. whatever they were called! Perhaps if we had named the darn decade it would have made something of itself!
A friend of mine just posed the question to me, and I’d like to hear your thoughts. What do you think the word of 2010 will be? Write it in the comments below and I’ll pick a winner and make a video about it.
It looks like it’s on again guys and gals.. the 2009 edition of Wired.com’s Sexy Geek of the Year Contest.. and it looks like I was nominated by someone! So go ahead and vote for me if you think I deserve to win.
I attended Go Daddy’s annual Holiday Party in Phoenix this year and it was a BLAST! Bob Parsons, the founder of Go Daddy, really knows how to throw a party. This year he pumped $3 million back into the economy by throwing a bash for his 2,400 employees plus 1,600 guests – 4,000 people in all.
Muhammad Ali was there! The 4 Tops, The Temptations and Paula Poundstone performed. Bob Parsons gave $600,000 to charity that night as well as thousands and thousands of dollars to his employees so that they could pay off bills.
Everyone I met at the event was super nice and they all love their job, which is not a common thing to see!
I made friends with Lilian Garcia who sang the national anthem beautifully, Danica Patrick is such a sweetheart, actually, everyone was so nice there! I feel very fortunate to be a Go Daddy Girl! Be sure to thank Bob for making me one!
OK guys.. I was in New York for my birthday and saw that the New Year’s Eve ball was being taken down and it appeared at this party on Sunday. Is there some mischievous behavior going on here?
Plus we learn about Mischief Night in this lesson!
Guys, I’m going to the annual Go Daddy Holiday party in Phoenix tonight and it’s going to be a really big bash, with secret bands and all. Bob Parsons, the head of Go Daddy, goes all out each year REWARDING his thousands of employees for their hard work, making them #1 for the year again, so it’s a really special event.
I’ll be there with other Go Daddy Girls, like Danica Patrick, and others, so I’ll tweet from the event and keep you guys updated.
