About Me

I’m Miss Attitude and I’m here to help you. If you have a problem, I’m your girl. For years my friends and co-workers have been coming to me for advice. Then in 2008 Miss Attitude appeared on the scene after an employee texted me to say she was home sick instead of picking up the phone and calling. Working in TV newsrooms, I thought I’d seen it all! I immediately thought “does she seriously think this is acceptable behavior?”

Ever since I’ve been writing several times a week about anything and everything, from dating dilemmas to workplace woes with a sprinkle of weird news of the day and celebrity craziness. I hope you enjoy it, and I love reading your comments.

In the name of full disclosure, it’s important to admit I don’t have a background in psychology– unless you count two college courses, and the fact I come from a family of therapists. But I swear on my favorite (and only) pair of Manolos I will give you the best advice I can.

I also promise to keep it anonymous. Don’t worry I would never give out your real name unless you want me to. So if you need advice, send your e-mails to missattitude@missattitude.us.
