I have been thinking about this post for years and largely avoided it. For several reasons, but I think 2024 is the right time to put my thoughts out there. Trigger warning - there will be strong language inappropriate for everyone used in this piece. I can't avoid it. When I am driving in Atlanta, I… Continue reading I judge you on your car – but not how you think I do.

Opinion: “Upgrading”
I might have some luddite sympathies. I had a Honda Fit for ten years. I loved that car. I don't love cars in general. THAT car was my special happy car. In 2017, I got rear-ended and was told replacing the bumper was within $200-300 of totaling my car. It was logical we look at… Continue reading Opinion: “Upgrading”
Work: Interview Questions I Love and Hate
I teach people how to interview. Recently, this particular article swam through my emails of “hey, you seem to read these” (I do). I hate some of these questions. I tell managers to avoid asking them - and if you DO ask them, be prepared for a well-polished and prepared answer (and be warned if… Continue reading Work: Interview Questions I Love and Hate
Theory: Pregnancy Brain
This is 100% my own theory based on my own (still relatively short) experience with pregnancy. So, with that disclaimer - take it or leave it on my theory. Let's start with "What is Pregnancy Brain" WebMD has an entire article on it, but the jist of it is - pregnant women struggle to continue… Continue reading Theory: Pregnancy Brain
Review: BEST DOG NAME EVER
Here's how it goes (maybe this is only funny in MY head...). This name has two possible conversations when meeting people: Dog growling and snarling. Stranger: Wow your dog isn't too friendly, is he. Owner: No, my dog is Friendly. Dog growls and lunges. Stranger: Ummm... no, your dog is definitely not friendly. Owner: I'm… Continue reading Review: BEST DOG NAME EVER
Life Memories: Lizard
Genkii just brought me a lizard. My indoor only -not-a-hunter cat brought me a lizard. A teeny-tiny little thing. I squealed (benefits of being a female, no one is shocked when I react strongly to things like a lizard in my living room). So he drops said lizard (with a look of surprise) and it scurries under… Continue reading Life Memories: Lizard
Review: Heroes’ Lunch
Let's do this! Some of this was inspired by all those books where the hero eats "bread and cheese" for a meal - I was poking in my kitchen this weekend and needed a meal. So I took my last 2 deviled eggs, some grapes, homemade bread and put CHEESE on it. I grew up… Continue reading Review: Heroes’ Lunch
Musings: Perception
I have a strange life. Not literally, in a lot of ways it's very traditional. I'm cisgendered, white, hetersexually-married with the classic "house in the suburbs" (including a white picket fence actually) with a very corporate "normal" full-time job. And yet, I don't feel like I'm normal. I sometimes feel like at any moment I will… Continue reading Musings: Perception
Humor: I am not a pizza place
I don't know how this happens, but it is frequent enough that I know it does. The worst I had was a debt collector who just would not believe I wasn't "Simon." Pretty sure my voice is not that deep... Someone dials the wrong number and just does not believe the person answering is NOT… Continue reading Humor: I am not a pizza place
