“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.”
― Albert Einstein
The job I left almost a year ago is no longer there. After putting in my notice to be finished mid March, and them squeezing another two weeks out of me, I predicted they’d be […]
This morning as I was reading FaceBook, there was a man on my wall bemoaning the fact that today’s Google Doodle is for International Women’s Day. He complained that women have come so far and if they want equal treatment they don’t need to do things that set them apart and emphasize their differences. I’ve […]
Last year was a big one for me. Most of these didn’t feel very monumental at the time, but I made some enormous changes and decisions in my life. Each of these deserves their own blog post, but at the rate I’ve been going, I doubt it’ll happen. So, here’s the summary of the biggies:

Since the last blog post, I’ve further refined my long term plans and how to get there. I am doing an old, outdated version of Dan Miller’s 48 Days program, which really has helped me to focus this whole process instead of my usual route of second guessing myself every step of […]
Today I’m working on my Mission Statement. Two years ago I had A Plan to go back to school and get my engineering degree. I was gonna work for NASA! Or even better, Richard Branson. Whatever. Don’t get me wrong, I was deadly serious about it, despite my own apprehensions. I really felt like this […]
I’m on a bit of a Jonathan Coulton kick at the moment. He’s witty, redheaded, sings, and has a beard. Yay! I’ve seen him in concert, opening for TMBG. (John Flansburgh is producing his next album, by the way.) I even just bought “Everything” from his store because I […]
The evil horrible soul-sucking job is gone. Not really, some other poor schmuck got suckered into it, but he only lasted two weeks, which gave me quite a bit of validation. I helped train him, so I know that he was no LadyGlutter, but he also said it wasn’t an acceptable work environment for him, […]
Seriously — those people who manage to “have it all”? The kids and the career and the gym and the social life? How do you do it? When do you sleep? A week into this whole two full time jobs deal, and I’m exhausted and out of my mind. And the apartment (that we’re about […]
That’s what life feels like right now. I’m busting my hump just to stay “almost” where I’m not quite good enough. In the last year, I’ve abandoned dreams, lost hopes, and survived. I’m not wanting to write on the blog anymore because I’ve bared my soul to the world on here, and I don’t have […]
