What I’m reading: The Penitent by Isaac Bashevis Singer What’s on the iPod: Songs About Roses by Owl John Another month, another new beginning. Do you look at your calendar and think the same thing? For me, any new month (not just January) is a time to reflect on the last month, the month ahead…
What’s on the iPod: Roll Away Your Stone by Mumford & Sons After a long, somewhat disjointed week (is it finally Friday?), I’m looking forward to a few days off. On Tuesday afternoon, my newest bookcase arrived, so I spent the afternoon putting it together. This weekend, I intend to fill it strategically. There are…
What’s on the iPod: Sleep Like a Baby Tonight by U2 What a week. I started by spending what I thought would be ten minutes looking for a hotel room for the upcoming conference at the end of April. That turned into two days of hunting. No luck. I can get a hotel close to…
What I’m reading: The Woman of Andros by Thornton Wilder What’s on the iPod: Numb by The Airborne Toxic Event So last week we took a look at how to create Styles in Word. This week, we’re going to do something with them. If you think you’ll have a need to create a table of…
What’s on the iPod: Misfits and Lovers by The Wallflowers It’s Thursday already? What happened to my week? I took Monday off for the holiday that everyone else had. Tuesday was a snow day for my daughter and when she’s home, I tend to play hooky with her (bad habit, in fact). Yesterday I spent…

What’s on the iPod: Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend Friday the 13th — a superstitious day for a lot of people, and maybe a perfect time for another episode of This Job, Not That Job. Today’s offering comes from Jenn Mattern, who, by the way, scours these job postings to bring you guys some of…
What’s on the iPod: I See Fire by Ed Sheeran I’m enjoying the little break in the action this week. I was able to attend a Twitter chat, a webinar, and an online course. I got a bit of work done on the article assignment, and I’ll be talking with a potential client today. Plus…
What’s on the iPod: The Modern Leper by Frightened Rabbit Slower week this week. One project due to come in on Monday has been delayed a week. That gives me time to get an article finished and get a marketing blitz started. I have three months until a big trade show. The more companies I…
What I’m reading: Bel Canto by Ann Patchett What’s on the iPod: Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole Last week was a busy one. Two deadlines within three days of each other had me hopping. The project drafts are done, and I wait for the revisions. This week is a bit lighter — one…
