This week has been terrible. I keep trying to tell myself it could be worse, but you know what? It is bad enough that I'm chalking into the terrible category and leaving it there. Let's start with the overwhelming stress and terror of putting in an offer on a house over the weekend. We made an… Continue reading Life: This week….

Musings: My Dream Job
Let me begin by saying I love my current job. It's challenging and rewarding in a lot of ways. I have learned to bring my passion into the role in front of me. Because you see, I can't have my dream job. It's not that it doesn't exist. It's that I afford my dream job. Let's… Continue reading Musings: My Dream Job
Life Events: violence this week
This has been a pretty horrible week. I don't even know how to express the grief and anger I feel for everyone involved in all of the events this week. The worst part is trying to find a way to help. There aren't marches to lead people to polls that are denied them. Community organizers… Continue reading Life Events: violence this week
Life Events: House Hunting
My husband and I are in the house hunting process. And it doesn't help we're in a super-shortage of houses on the market. So we've spent hours over the past 2 months scouring Zillow & Realtor.com for houses that we think have hope of making us happy. We schedule 4-5 to see on a weekend and… Continue reading Life Events: House Hunting
Life Events: Response to Pulse Shooting
I was not going to write about the shooting last weekend in Orlando. I am about a cis white christian hetero-normative as I can be. I support LBGTQ friends & family, but this was not my community that was attacked - I do not want to speak from my position of amazing privilege and whine "oh,… Continue reading Life Events: Response to Pulse Shooting
Politics: Presidential candidates
I haven't weighed in on the presidential primaries for a variety of reasons (not the least of which amounts to "oh shit, people are getting violent..." and all those levels of scary that are going on in this election). But I finally realized why I'm not agreeing with most of my circle on the presidential… Continue reading Politics: Presidential candidates
Review: Uber
I have finally used Uber. Ironically, it was interspersed with taxi rides so there was some very clear and definite comparisons I was able to make. So let's begin with my feelings on taxis: EWWWW. Call me frugal or frugal or whatever but I really struggle with taxi pricing. Let's do some math. (Click here… Continue reading Review: Uber
Life Events: Listing
Yesterday I listed my condo for sale. I am writing this the night-of, so when you read this, it will be "yesterday." Almost exactly 3 years ago the contract was accepted for me to buy this condo. I was terrified. Terrified. Homeownership is a big deal. It's the American Dream. Granted, I'm pretty sure the American… Continue reading Life Events: Listing
Theory: The “Me Be Smart” Policy
If I ever run a big company... (More than like 100 employees) I am going to implement the "Me Be Smart" policy. I think almost every company I've every known or worked for would introduce policy without always thinking it through. The employees most affected would be shocked. Horrified. Frustrated. So if I every run a… Continue reading Theory: The “Me Be Smart” Policy
Life: Resolutions
I don't set yearly resolutions in January. Too much can change during a year for me to know everything I want in Month One. I do have ongoing goals. Goals I can start Jan 1st or May 18th or Sept 21st. I don't need to make them public (usually). The one thing I do like to… Continue reading Life: Resolutions
