Office MacGyver

Since having moved from my dee-luxe-apartment-in-the-sky-office to a cube that’s only a few inches wider than my wingspan, I’ve found the need to get rid of a lot of junk.

One day I found this charming artifact from pre-internet times – a yellow pages book – deposited on my desk. All in all, I find these books worthless anymore, so I chucked it under my desk. Today I found two beat-up mousepads in my drawer. (I’ve put off organizing the drawers in this desk in the hope I’ll get moved again to someplace more quiet). So in a moment of resourcefulness, I stapled them, traction side out, to the top and bottom of the phonebook. Voila! Instant footrest!

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. 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! :)

Well, that happened.
