On letting the office go

kim's empty cubicle at TNP

I knew this date was coming, but as of November 22, TNP has vacated our office in Philadelphia. It was inevitable, really, because we never went back to the office (I’d have been fine with a 3/2 split) and rent…

Some words: I still work for TNP, but we are letting our office in Philadelphia go this week.

A work trip to San Diego

TNP is a membership association and one of the things that associations typically do is have a big annual conference. Attendees learn new things, network, see the sights of a city that’s newish to them, and everyone has a blast….

Good: Tuesday: Ill effects of the Covid booster were completely gone. Wednesday: It was our monthly in-office day. I went to my Fancy Coffee Friday spot for the first time in years and the coffee was delicious. Twelve of us…

Back to the (Home) Office

I was on ‘vacation’ last week which basically means I was not online for work. I *was* online for an annual conference of a professional organization that *I’m* a member of. Background: I work for TNP, an association for medical…

It’s so nice to work from home…

Once a week, I get to work from home. I’m thankful for that opportunity because it makes it so much easier to have someone out to fix the latest broken thing in the house, or to sneak in a doctor…

Las Vegas trip

This year Spring Business Trip took me to Las Vegas to exhibit at the AAPA meeting. And since Mom is now a retired lady with some free time on her hands, she came along for the ride! It was a…

Work from home Mondays

TNP (which isn’t new anymore but I’m too lazy to change pseudonyms) instituted a new policy where we are able to pick one day a week to work from home. We could pick Monday, Thursday, or Friday, which allows us…

Five years!

Today is my FIVE YEAR anniversary at TNP, which really isn’t The New Place at all anymore. Not so shabby for someone who thought she’d be fired before her first year was done. It’s a good place to work, and…

Rabbit rabbit – back from National Harbor, MD

This post will fail my posting standards on two points: > There is no twee April Fool prank. When I was younger, I’d flip the site backward on April Fool’s, but this year I basically forgot what day it was….

I'm trade-publication famous!

I try very hard to separate work from blog, but I’m very proud and can’t let this go by without saying something… Last month, Associations Now magazine (official magazine of ASAE) interviewed my manager and me about how we manage…

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! :)
