I made my first trip to NYC this week. I wasn’t there long enough to see much of anything, just my hotel, and the 8 blocks between my hotel and the office. It was definitely an eye-opening experience, both in terms of how the newly merged company works, and about NYC. I stayed in Manhattan [...]
I spent most of this week in Scottsdale, Arizona at a sales meeting. Now I typically don’t look forward to those types of things, because I’m not on the sales staff, and I find myself tuning out as they talk about print marketshare. (OK, maybe not print marketshare. I think marketshare is interesting – I [...]
So, I had a random, small happy moment today. I logged into my Google documents (where all kinds of things are stored, from my personal to-read lists and quote collections to our online inventory spreadsheet for work), and discovered that Google Docs got a facelift! Since I use Google Docs a fair amount, their changes [...]
Like most people early in their careers, I’m still trying to figure out how to “make it.” How to make it better, how to make it bigger, and some days, just how to make it through. Earlier this week, when reading one of the bezillions of newsletters that I get, an article stood out – [...]

Since yoga teacher training started this past weekend, and my boss is out of town (off the continent, even) for the next 2 weeks, I definitely am searching for more ways to get a few more things done every day. Maybe it’s something about doing yoga for 20+ hours a week (plus study time!) that [...]
There are so many benefits to working from home… the fresh air, the ability to have nearly anything I want for lunch, the fact that I don’t have to wear shoes. And my personal favorite – I can listen to my iTunes playlist on random without worrying about offending anyone. Sometimes you just need to [...]
I’m not really sure why other magazines don’t follow the lead of Men’s Health. I love that magazine, even though I’m definitely not a man, and not all that interested in the health of men. Thanks to my friend Amanda for sending me this: The E-mail To-Don’t List.
So, it’s Monday… what better day to read about if bitching is really good for you. Is it healthy? According to the Life Coaches Blog, bitching can be theraputic.
