Should you disclose medical issues to your boss?

November 9, 2009

When I was home visiting with my parents I heard about two pretty sad updates with family friends. One is a gentleman from their church, who I’ve met and really like, who has the same terminal brain cancer that killed Ted Kennedy. In fact, this friend went into the hospital for surgery and was in […]

Dressing the Part

November 3, 2009

There were two posts over the last few weeks that had me thinking: Women in the workplace have all kinds of pressures, with wardrobe being somewhere high on the list. Most mornings I get ready for work at the gym. Now that I’m swimming, it’s easier to go ahead and shower there than drag my […]

Who’s Your Customer: Regulars or Visitors?

October 28, 2009

The other day I was in a Starbucks. Nothing really unusual, I love my Starbucks. This is a new Starbucks for me, one that I’ve never been to before. It’s one that stands alone and has a drive-through. Since cars were wrapped around the building and lining up in the adjoining parking lot, I thought […]

If the Fates Allow

October 26, 2009

It’s that time of year again. My family has to negotiate the holiday schedule between four different locations. And this is just the five of us (parents, me, two brothers). None of the children are married yet, and extended family can’t always fit into the equation. We are officially a “see you at Christmas” kind […]

Get off that High Horse

October 21, 2009

I’ve always been that kid in Honors everything. My parents never worried about my grades because I probably put more pressure on myself to do better than they ever could. That also meant when I accomplished things, I was darn proud of myself for doing it on my own. That’s how I feel about reading. […]

Could You Accept a Proposal Dripping of Blackmail?

October 19, 2009

I was feeling a little girly Friday night, so I ordered food, got comfortable, and watched The Proposal. In all romcom honesty, it was pretty good. I liked the twisted play on the boss falling for the assistant. However, after all the credits rolled (I had to listen to “It Takes Two” by Rob Base […]

When You Identify the Real Excuse Holding You Back

October 15, 2009

4:45…the waterfall noise is replaced by beeping. Oh joy. 5:15…I have to give myself a pep talk to get into the water. 7:00…wishing I had an IV for coffee. Yup, I’m talking about 4:45 AM. As in really dark and cold in the morning AM. I’ve been doing the 5:15 wake-up-to-work-out routine for a while […]
