Friday, December 13

Ten year old Kim with a violin. she is wearing a blouse and knee length skirt, ankle socks and for some reason saddle shoes. a very 1970s-era red sofa is to her left, and to the right is a giant stereo speaker.

Happy Friday, which is National Violin Day and National Cocoa Day. I played the violin for a few years in elementary school. I quit before 7th grade because in middle school practice was before school and I didn’t want to…

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…

Random thoughts on a Thursday

murphy, a black and white spaniel-ish dog

Rabbit rabbit! Happy February. It’s about time to start planning my garden! Last week was my 12th anniversary at TNP. Soon I’ll be there longer than I was at the CP, and that blows my mind because in 2012, I…

Friday 5: Wolf!

Happy Friday! The most difficult part of the Big!Work!Upgrade! happened today and I am beat. It went really well in my opinion. Very few bugs and faster performance. I give it 2 weeks until I am free of it and…

Back to the (Home) Office

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! :)
