Trying to look on the bright side of more snow: *I get to wear my boots to work, which is fun and always makes me feel a little like I’m back in elementary school. * * * *Yeah, that’s actually all I can think of right now. Bronze star, tried a little. I’ll work on […]
Sometimes I see familiar cars (okay, license plates) when I’m driving to work, and I think, ‘hey, that’s a car I’ve seen in my workplace parking lot!’ (Very occasionally I actually know whose car it is, even!) And I think, ‘I should tell them I saw them!’ And then I *instantly* think, ‘wait, no, definitely […]
For reasons relating to starandrea’s amazing books, I have the (free!) kindle app on my phone. For reasons relating to language learning, I was googling around yesterday for ways to get free children’s books in Spanish (preferably on my phone, since it is marginally more acceptable to be staring at my phone at work than […]
Here we are, two months after Christmas, but as we know, holiday decorating is a marathon, not a sprint. (I only took the Christmas lights down from the balcony on Saturday.)

Time to bring back this gem, because yesterday my boss asked me how to share a google sheet in view only mode. And I gave myself a gold star for not saying, “First you open up google, and then you type ‘how to share a google sheet in view only mode’ into the search bar. […]
So starandrea’s adventures with Chinese have inspired me to make an attempt at Spanish. (Quite a few people in my workplace speak Spanish, so it’s not like I can say I’d never use it.) Plus I love games, and learning apps are largely game-ified (the internet tells me this should be spelled ‘gamified,’ but my […]
1 cup of coffee: crying with exhaustion at 8:30 pm 2 cups of coffee: wide awake at 11 pm, wishing I was sleeping Maybe I should try a cup and a half???
The cat walked over the keyboard and typed a v (and didn’t even open itunes to start a movie! clearly they don’t want to distract me from second breakfast). So — v for victory. Here are some things I would like to be victorious about today: *Please oh please let the 30 minute morning meeting […]
