Slate magazine is engaged in Revenge Week.
Sort of like Shark Week, except the focus is on revenge.
And somehow, a Slate editor identified me as being someone especially focused and adept at getting revenge, so they asked me to write a piece for their magazine and appear on one of their podcasts, where I discussed revenge and then helped a person plot revenge on a group of rotten little monsters who were ruining her day.
It was enormous fun.
In addition to discussing the means by which revenge is best exacted, I also discuss my Enemies List, my “I Told You So” calendar, and my history with revenge.
If you’d like to read the article I wrote, you can click here.

Here is the craziest part of the story:
Since writing the article and recording the podcast, I have been approached by someone who would like to hire me as a revenge consultant. She has a person who has wronged her egregiously and needs retribution. Lacking the skills, experience, and necessary mindset, she is going to pay me to help her plan and enact her revenge on this monster.
I wear many hats. I have many titles. I do many things.
We can now add “revenge consultant” to the list, although I’d like to find a more suitable title.
The words “revenge” and “consultant” don’t go together well.
Suggestions?
Also, in need of some revenge?
