It’s rained, nearly non-stop, since Thursday evening. But Friday was the office happy hour at Blue Mesa. The restaurant was busy, so we opted to sit outside. Amidst the conversation and story-telling, a couple of folks kept obsessively checking the weather radar on their iPhones. 20 minutes until it gets here, said Weather Watcher. Are […]

I Can’t Help It If You Can’t Read My Mind
Have you ever read any of the If You books? They crack me up because they so perfectly describe my life. Wandering here and there, doing one task after another before you find yourself light years from where you originally intended. I really think there ought to be a book in this series written for […]
Danger, Will Robinson!
I woke up on the grouchy side of the bed this morning. Why? Who knows…perhaps it’s merely because Ben crawled in between the boy and I right when I wanted to cuddle before drifting off to sleep. (Darn that cat.) SO–for those who will be around me, near me, emailing me, thinking about me, or […]
Success Stories
On the way in to work this morning, the boy and I were listening to small business-gone-big success stories. I mentioned: You know, Johnny Morris started Bass Pro out of the back of his truck in Springfield, Missouri. *Pause* The Boy: How’d he fit that big fish tank in the back of his truck?
The Chocolate Walk
Kelly isn’t above bribing people to like him. Thus, he’s become the official Supplier of Chocolate for his office. What started with simply bringing some chocolate to share with his department has snowballed into a detailed list of favorites (passed onto his wife for shopping trips) and a funky bamboo bowl to properly display the […]
Ummm…I Don’t Think That’s What You Meant to Say
Other than a certain blog reader who emails me frequently regarding my typos, I generally find typos quite amusing. Take, for example, this classic one from a colleague the other day: Backstory – Our marketing team has been busy setting up presentation opportunities for our firm’s senior leadership regarding Building Information Modeling, commonly referred to […]
I’ve Been Busy…
…thus the silence on the blog front. (What! A whole day passes without an update!?!) Scott Adams has been sneaking around my office lately and drew yesterday’s Dilbert in honor of me…just kidding about the stalking, but not about the strip’s relevance! (Click on the strip to enlarge and read it all…)
Measure Twice…
I had a stack of things to send to our other office on Friday. Really, it wasn’t very much – a short stack, but one that I wanted to put in a box to protect from transit bumps and bangs.One problem: I made a very thorough search of the supply room and discovered we had […]
What Time Is It?
Apparently, all day Friday, it was 8:45. I thought the song line went…It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere. I feel somewhat cheated. I’d better get this watch in for repair, stat!
I Got an E-Card!
How can you tell the recession is finally getting to folks? When you can laugh about it. Better yet, send an e-card! I love e-cards! I usually only receive them when it’s my birthday or I’m having a bad day. However, yesterday I got one just because. Just because the person who sent it thought […]
