Like last Sunday, I had a staff meeting at the Fresno LGBT Community Center yesterday. (We were going over our upcoming Cultural Competency Training Sessions with a few new panelists.) Anyway, while I was doing that, Ella and her daddy hung out at Starbucks in the Tower and people watched. Seriously, that kid is happiest whenContinue reading “Monday’s Sundays in My City: New Work space!”

New Job: Week One!
First Week After a week of work at the new job, I can safely say that the novelty of waking up at 7 instead of 8 has worn off. However, I really like my job and the people I am working with. A few highlights. The broccoli in my desk: It is made of foamContinue reading “New Job: Week One!”
New Job!
I had my first day at a new job today. It is a contract position with the option of extension and based on today, I would love to be extended. The Good: The commute: 20 min walk! Seriously! The pay: I could pay off my debt and actually afford decent insurance. The people: Met someContinue reading “New Job!”
News!
I have really big news! But first, the lead up. This blog coming to you from my laptop which is NOT plugged into the router.

If I time my bus route right, the commute is 30 mins door to door. If I don’t…. it is more likeContinue reading “Things I learned during my first day (back) at work.”

I am lucky enough to work for Big Brothers Big Sisters, a nonprofit who’s mission and vision I can wholeheartedly support. I love knowing that the work done in my little office is important, that it does make a difference, that we areContinue reading “The Ought of Pot”
The Fall
I signed up to run/jog/walk a half marathon in October. I did this because I realized I had gained weight and needed a tangible, measurable goal with solid unmovable milestones in order to motivate myself. Also because I was feeling depressed and stir crazy and was getting bitter about the weight I had gained. IContinue reading “The Fall”
It Isn’t Paranoia If It’s Real
The shredder stopped working today. It took one sheet and then another and then another and then nothing. It has been unplugged, replugged, shaken, cleaned, shaken, cleaned, moved, and everything else I can think to do… and yet. No shredding. Next, the copy machine got all persnickety and didn’t want to copy anything until aContinue reading “It Isn’t Paranoia If It’s Real”
