The new Online Manager

Dec 12 2003

I am now the Online Manager for www.courierpostonline.com.

I have an office and am now the boss to those who were once my peers.

I received a sizeable pay increase, and the well-wishes of my coworkers.

And as of 48 hours ago, I was NOT going to take the job at all. Go figure.

I am excited and proud, but mostly terrified. (and I just realized I forgot to take lunch)

Added 4/2/17: Hi! This is Kim, 13 years later. Back in 2003, I should have asked for the Director title and not been okay with Manager. I was just so happy to be get the job that I didn’t want to rock the boat. I should have rocked the damn boat. PEOPLE! ROCK THE BOAT. 2017-Kim out.

I've been blogging for over 16 years and I'm apparently one of the few over-40 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun and unprofitable. No big.

~~Wife. Dog lover. Slob.~~ I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dogs Ollie and Murphy. I work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

We Should All Be Feminists

by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

So very good. Beautifully written, and really hits home. It was refreshing to read about feminism in a viewpoint other than that of my white, middle-aged, ladyfriends. :) Every middleschooler should be issued a copy of it. It was supe...
