Most of my regular readers know, I think, that by day, I do IT consulting for Eugene-area nonprofits. I don’t write about work much, both because it’s a dangerous habit to be in if you don’t enjoy your job and because I deal with some confidential data and other things that I’m sure my clients [...]

The “No Asshole” Rule
Posted in Life Organizing and CQ Thoughts, Perversity Abounds!, Stuff I don't even tell my mother on August 14, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Do you know, I actually hesitated before writing the title to this post before I remembered it’s my blog and I can use whatever language I want in it? How strange. Today’s Slow Leadership post linked to Bob Sutton’s blog. Which in turn linked to this delightful rant about corporate life. Some key points: Don’t [...]
You dilettante!

One of my challenges is that every time I see someone else’s work, I think “I’d like to do that.” I’ve been reading Planet Karen today, which makes me think “Gee, I could learn how to draw and put up my own webcomic about my life. It’d be fun!” Yesterday, it was a webcast on [...]

A Weekend by the Sea

So, I purchased A Weekend by the Sea by Joan Anderson from the iTunes music store for my new iPod and have been listening to the first chapter all week. Yeah, the first chapter. I wanted to set aside some time to do the calendar exercise introduced in that chapter, so I haven’t let myself [...]
What do I want right now?
Posted in Life Organizing and CQ Thoughts on July 11, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
What I want right now is a common yearning for me…. I come back to this time and again. I see myself sitting at a sidewalk cafe, at a little table with a little umbrella over it, sipping what looks like an iced latte, and eating what might be a croissant breakfast, or perhaps it’s [...]
Frustrations
Posted in Life Organizing and CQ Thoughts on July 3, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
It’s been a frustrating few months. Frustrating is the only word that seems to describe everything. I’ve been working on getting the wedding together – I think the period of time starting 5 months before the wedding service is the busiest part of the whole planning. It’s frustrating to have something I want so much [...]
Serendipity
Posted in Life Organizing and CQ Thoughts on May 1, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
(I still think of serendipity as a purple dinosaur from the kids books I used to read….) It is serendipitious that the first week’s question covers small steps towards health because I’ve been thinking about just that. I just foud out yesterday that my maternal grandmother has “insulin resistance”, which she says is sort of [...]
