When I tell you I can’t cook… I’m not exaggerating. That’s the lasagna I made for dinner. For myself. There’s no cheese in there. I didn’t have all the ingredients I needed. And I don’t go to the grocery store more than once a week. Because I find that experience traumatizing. Also, I don’t have … Continue reading I Can’t Cook

Hellgate Recon (Glenwood Horse Trail)
I just had to remind Beautiful Beastie and Tiny Brazilian that it was 6 o’clock in the morning. On a Sunday. So they would stop making my phone make noises. There is no adventuring for me today. We did quite enough of that yesterday. We did some Hellgate recon yesterday morning. And all we were … Continue reading Hellgate Recon (Glenwood Horse Trail)
Humorless Professional Writing (aka Business Writing)
Are there classes that teach humorless professional writing? Because apparently if you spend too many years with the freedom to entertain yourself in your emails, you lose the ability to craft actual professional writing. I've had a couple of people. Not many. But just not even a handful of people. Ask me why I haven't … Continue reading Humorless Professional Writing (aka Business Writing)
Keeping My Mouth Shut
Got this book in the mail today. The note that came with it begins by saying, "Read this book - your boss will thank you." ...well, that's just...hurtful... And anyway, I'm pretty sure my boss wants me to talk more. I actually shut the fuck up as much as possible at work. Because I still … Continue reading Keeping My Mouth Shut
Lazy Muscles Massage
Got my pre-race massage last night. For the race I may or may not be able to run. Left the office 30 minutes early in order to make the 15-minute drive, as per my usual. And all y'all that ridicule me for this habit. (Fall Risk and Rogue.) This story validates the entirety of the … Continue reading Lazy Muscles Massage
Finding More People
“I’ve got to get home to my cats. Because that’s who I am as a person.” That’s…that’s how I exited my last networking event…with professional women in technology...like, just really professional women… *sigh* I’m three months into my new job. Into my new corporate world. It’s been challenging. Not like monitoring 300 truancy cases while … Continue reading Finding More People
Dadsplaining
Dadsplaining. Not to be confused with mansplaining. Which will actually make my entire head explode. Dadsplaining is just about the only way I have managed to survive for 48 years. Dadsplaining is why I can claim to be a strong, independent woman. (Usually I like to throw the word intelligent in there. But that seems … Continue reading Dadsplaining
Success List
Once again, I’m starting a post out with the declaration that I Am An Intelligent Person. *SIGH* I listened to a podcast this week that talked about using a Success List instead of a To Do list. To...be successful. Freaking brilliant. I talked about my To Do lists before. The massive number of activities on … Continue reading Success List
Race Accountability
They say when you want to achieve a goal, you share it. That way others help you maintain your accountability. Or, in my case, race accountability. I accidentally shared with my boss that I’m running Mountain Masochist 50 Miler in November. She put it in her calendar. She put it. In her calendar. And told … Continue reading Race Accountability
Skipping The To Do List
I have operated off of a to do list nearly every day of my life for as long as I can remember. I have one on my phone. It currently has 45 items on it... It has had 45 items on it for...a while... *SIGH* And that's separate from my work to do list. That … Continue reading Skipping The To Do List
