A Million Directions
One of my jobs at work is to update the big, 4-month calendar in Mom’s office. It gets filled pretty quickly since there are work appointments, Girl Scout meetings, personal events and more all jumbled together on a 3 ½ by 3 foot piece of dry erase material. We do maintain a work-life-balance. We just [...]
Screen Time
Funny how you can take something for granted until it goes away. Like email, for example. You may have read that our email went out last week, while I was on the road. Let’s just say that there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. But then I got home and a way cute little 2-year [...]

Wonky internet equals clean desk?
Our internet has been wonky the past couple weeks. And today it once again decided that it prefers not to work. Stupid internet. So instead, I shall clean my desk! (Insert great fanfare and many oooohs and aaaaaaahs here.) I really do *like* having a clean desk. I’m just not so hot on making that [...]

I made my sample deck yesterday because I’ve seen too many slides cluttered with numbers and words and too much!! Simplify. Which is really funny for me [...]
Unsolicited
We made a list of “dream companies” we’d love to work with and I’m currently trawling web pages trying to find contact information and/or emails. It’s like cold-calling on steroids around here! It’s fun because we’re going after those kind-of middle sized big small companies. You know, method and Kashi and OXO. Companies that do [...]

One copy center to rule them all…
Fact: I would be the single greatest manager of a Staples Copy & Print Center in the history of the universe. At the very least I’d be better than the guys who helped me yesterday. I have a lot of evidence to support my theory that with a Staples Copy & Print Center under my [...]
Overload
Too much noise! Too many bright lights! Too much – ooh, look a shiny object! I know I’m often a few crayons short of a box. But lately I’ve been feeling like an 8 count in a 64 box world. There’s just so much going on!!! Dad’s under the weather, so we’re all stepping up [...]
