There are many things in life that, embarrassing though they may be, deserve to have their story told – if for no other reason than to serve as a cautionary tale to others. Thus I begin this series of invaluable life lessons.

My Facebook status today says it all:

Crissy Terawaki Kawamoto just quoted LL Cool J in an e-mail to a co-worker. Pretty sure that lowers my status in the office social hierarchy.

Remember, despite the fact that LL Cool J is now on prime time, only my mom thinks he’s cool. Think before you click SEND.
