Just keep on walking →
valarywithawhy:
Once again Michele Martin provides sage advice about career development. In an ever changing and rapidly changing workplace, training often lags the real world. We train for jobs that exist but the workplace is constantly creating new pathways.
Few of the jobs I have had existed when I was an undergraduate in college. And my first full-time job in now extinct, made obsolete by a...

Truthful Tuesday - Tapestry
I’m not a Star Trek fan in the ‘Trekkie’ sense, but I did like show. One of my favorite episodes was a Next Generation one called Tapestry, in which Picard is given a chance by the omnipotent Q to change something about his past; getting stabbed in a fight by an alien and thus requiring him to get an artificial heart. Q sends Picard back to the past, and this time Picard walks...

The Bell’s palsy must be pretty much gone. You can’t see anything. Hope you’re doing ok.

Functional Utopia
…was the bullsh*t word of the day I heard in a meeting. I’d define it for you, but I have no idea.

I saw a recent photo of myself
in which I look 8 months pregnant. …maybe 9. I didn’t realize how bad I had gotten.
This. Ends. Now.

I went to Costco to pick up a $17 cake. I spent over $200 on other things. Oops.

Shopped in a Costco for the first time in years
I felt like that scene in “Moscow on the Hudson” where Robin Williams is overwhelmed by the selection of coffee in his first visit to an American supermarket.

Conversation during a board game this weekend
Me: I’m gonna wipe your butt at this game.
She: Ummm… I think you mean “whip” my butt.
Me: Okay… If that’s what you’re into.
I guess I should watch the game
…so that if anyone asks me about it at the office, I can say something more than “He shoulda went for it.”

Susan G. Komen Foundation Also Stops Funding... →
In addition to pulling funds from Planned Parenthood for The Susan G. Komen Foundation also decided to stop funding embryonic stem cell research centers making it fully transparent the organization has evolved from non-political non-profit to a partisan advocacy organization.
That means the loss of $3.75 million to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, $4.5 million to the University...

Crap
My new smart phone just failed me, big time. It started ringing constantly, even though no one was calling me. I tried restarting it, took out the battery, put it back in, and the ringing would just start up again. I had no choice but to do a hard reset, erasing all the data and settings. The ringing stopped, but now it’s back to what it was when I first took it out of the box. Lost all...
Sometimes
Sometimes, we are blind to the beauty of this world by looking too hard at it, as a microscope makes a monster of a butterfly. But if we sit back, relax, and allow the beauty of the world to unfold in its own way, it will flower around us like a garden, and within us like a song.

Cheeky Business
If I’ve learned anything from this Bells Palsy experience, it’s to respect my cheeks more. (I’m talking about the cheeks on either side of my intake, not the ones on either side of my exhaust.) I guess the cheek muscles work to push the food toward the center of your mouth while you’re chewing, because now that my left cheek is on strike, I find that as I chew, a lot of...

Fate is a cruel snake: #JoyforJulie →
frageelay:
When I read of Julie’s news about the cancer overstaying its welcome this morning, I had myself a good cry. I got mad. I prayed. And then I thought about this incredible community here and how much we all adore Julie. We may not hold a magical cure for cancer in our hands,…

you ok? hoping so. please, please. please
I know there are people with a lot worse problems than what I have. Even if this should never go away, it’s not the worst thing in the world. But thank you. I hope all is well with you.
It's a good thing I eat alone most of the time
Cuz it’s not pretty to watch now.
Less so than usual, I mean.

Dammit
I hate it when a piece of junk mail is disguised cleverly enough to trick me into actually opening the envelope to discover it’s just crap. That’s 3 seconds of my life I’ll never get back.

Truthful Tuesday - On Politics
Although I look forward to this being a wonderful year for me, there is a small part of me that wishes it was over already, because it’s an election year. I’ve written about my dislike of politics before, although I do realize it’s important. It’s just that it’s only January and already I’m starting to see more and more ugly political posts both on FB and...
