What’s on the iPod: Marry Song by Band of Horses What a day yesterday. I had a talk with a new client, who hired me for immediate work. It’s good, but I’m not getting my main project any closer to completion by taking on more need-it-now work. I spent a few hours after getting their…

Organized Chaos
What’s on the iPod: Blunderbuss by Jack White Yesterday was one of those days where I thought I’d have plenty of time to get one thing done, but of course didn’t. I started with interviews — had to get through them so I could get the article finished. But husband was home with his own…
Weekend Errands
Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones It’s nice to have a weekend that creates enough of a diversion to push all thoughts of work out of the way. That’s how my weekend was. My plan of heading to Atlantic City to splash in the waves was trumped by dangerously oppressive heat. In my travels on…
Forging Ahead
What’s on the iPod: Farther Down by Neon Trees What a nice birthday! I didn’t stay off the computer entirely — in fact, I spent more time on it than planned thanks to an unauthorized install of a Conduit search engine onto my computer when I downloaded an MP3 file converter software program. I uninstalled…
Friday Stuff
What’s on the iPod: I Felt Like Jesus by Chuck Prophet No work today. Instead, I’ll be on my way to Portland, Maine for the stepdaughter’s college graduation. Very much looking forward to it. She’s worked so hard to get to this point, and she’s already seeing a payoff. She is the only one of…
Stuff that Happened Along the Way
What’s on the iPod: It’s Time by Imagine Dragons Wow. I can’t believe it’s two days later and I’m still exhausted. The show involved a lot of walking. My one journalist friend said his pedometer logged over 15,000 steps on Monday. I know I walked as much. No wonder I lost three pounds! Hey, if…
Policies and Job Must-Haves
What’s on Pandora: She Said She Said by The Beatles Conference time for me! Make no mistake — I’ve prepared for this for months. The contacts were made through research and reaching out via email. The appointments were made in the last few weeks. The RSVPs for the various functions were made last week, and…
Things That Make My Head Explode: Part Eight
What’s on the iPod: Little Boxes by Walk off the Earth Another slow-ish day yesterday. I liked it because I was able to get some personal writing done early before concentrating on client work and marketing. I’m eager to see people at the conference (starting Sunday night, oh my!), and I’ll be happy to get…
Open Thread: What’s Part of Your Job Do You Like Least?
How was the weekend? Mine was decent enough. It rained like mad here on Saturday, but it was needed. I did manage to get out and get groceries before we headed to New Jersey for meditation. Let me tell you, hauling groceries around in the rain is the fastest way to kill a good mood….
Return to Reality
There’s something about the anticipation of an event that sends you into this other-worldly state. That’s how it was for me this year with St. Patrick’s Day. Having had several wonderful celebrations at my favorite pub, I expected no less this year. Let’s just say there are several factors that go into creating a wonderful…
