• Happy Friday!

    Britt and I spent today in Seattle. We hit up Uwajimaya and then headed to the Key Arena for dinner and a Storm game. Oh, but I forgot something very important. While at Uwajimaya, guess who we saw. Go ahead, guess. So, there we were, looking at candy (what else?) when I glanced two feet to my righ…

    How's that working for you?I don't usually discuss politics because it frankly depresses the crap out of me and wilts any meager hope I have for humanity, generally (and also, I'm usually quite undecided about a lot of the issues).... but I heard an interesting piece on the radio this morning.

  • Ways to Deal With a Difficult Coworker

    We all deal with difficult people every day. Some are rude and impolite, some like confrontation, and others just don't seem to get it.

  • The Path to My Dream Job - Chapter 4

  • Today

    Today a Missing Cat poster made me cry. It didn't even have a photo. It just said "Missing Orange Cat" and I burst into tears. (Trust me, I was as surprised as you are.) A few hours later, I went to the grocery store to get stuff for salad. I got all the way through the line before I realized I forg…
  • Pressure

    My husband and I keep having strange conversations. Really, the topics aren’t strange, his attitude is. For instance, talking about money and work. I’m actually fairly happy right now with the way things are in a larger sense. Less hemoraging was my goal. My in-laws aren’t sucking…
