Friday 5: The Lou
Happy Friday, which is also National Almond Day (I like almonds – almond extract in place of vanilla extract in a cake or cookie recipe is amazing unless you’re feeding someone with an allergy), National Tartar Sauce Day (first Friday…
Friday 5: Twenty-four months
Hello and happy Friday. Wanna know what I did yesterday? I WENT TO THE OFFICE for the first time since my laptop was acting up in October! I took the train and sat in the mostly empty office and had…
What is a weekend?
As of today, I have been home for 15 days, with the exception of two car rides and one socially-distanced visit with Mom. I gave up giving up Facebook for Lent, because 1) everything is Lent now and 2) there…
Holy crap I’ve been Gutenberged

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…
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…
