10 Crucial Things New Orleans Had First →
These major firsts prove New Orleans has been the zestiest place in America for centuries. From the moment the city established itself as a trailblazing star of the nation, there’s a real magic…

Ninth Avenue International Food Festival - →
There will be 15 blocks of food for two days this weekend. Food from around the world. Yummy. Tasty. Deliciousy. Food. This will not end well. Must find stretchy clothing.
I can't, it's a curse

Voting Doodle 4 Google →
Doodle 4 Google is a contest where we invite young artists in grades K-12 to stretch their imaginations using our logo as their canvas.
There are some amazing young emerging artists in the bunch. So I’m just trying to help get out the vote.
Onward and upward
Just turned in my final project for this semester. It’s out of my hands. Instead of a paper I created a blog that can continue now that class is ending. Hopefully (based on some preliminary comments I got from people in the field and in my class) I can expand on it and it will be a springboard to other cool things. Would love to get some speaking gigs out of this.
The project is on personal...
I was, but only for a few seconds :P

Why yes I do have something metal
As you all have heard me babble about in the past, my mom has used a walker for many years. Yesterday she went to the neighborhood Rite Aid, as she does several times a week, to pick up a few items. With the walker and her age she has to make more trips since she can only carry a limited amount at a time and she enjoys the walks.
On the way out the metal detector beeped so she went back in the...

I am sure there are a lot of people who would love...
Guess this is sort of early Truthful Tuesday. I admit I am not the most sensitive person on the planet. I have what my mom and others have termed “selective empathy.” I admit this. I own it. When I see people trying really hard and they just need some help I’m right there to help, But if you are lazy, don’t try to help yourself, and want to complain about how the world owes...

It only takes one bad experience
I spent years facilitating classes intended to help people improve their customer service skills. It’s not rocket science but it’s also not just “be nice training” as some of my students started class believing. But one of the key things about customer service is that you often only get one shot at it. If the experience is bad enough there is usually someone else the...

Thanks to all who answered my insta-survey
Quick Survey
It used to be that job descriptions had a list of tasks and responsibilities and the last one was usually a catch-all category with something like “other tasks/responsibilities/duties as necessary.” It seems that that last category is coming to describe many positions. What percentage of your job would you say falls into that miscellaneous category?

All of the deep breaths
I have taken them. Now I shall try taking a moment.
There's a lesson in today
Officemate just turned around to tell me about a friend of hers from college. The woman has been working at a large financial services company, and at least in recent times she has been a telecommuter. Well she got tired of sitting at home and likes to travel so she decided if she was going to work from home she’d become a travel agent and that way she could get out of the house sometimes....
I think they are trying to tell me something
For about the last week my building access card has been iffy. Sometimes it works fine and sometimes I’m left stranded outside the glass door near my office scratching on the door like a forlorn pup. Went to the security office which feels remarkably like being sent to the principal’s office as a kid. The security officer confirmed after bending and twisting and swiping my card on his...
Why my mom is awesome and work sucks
Wasn’t feeling the getting up and going to work thing today. I told my mom she should write me a note and say I had permission to stay home. She said she would … but she didn’t think it would work. Darn. But then she thought about it and said “well, I don’t know, where you work it might as crazy as it is.” She’s pretty sure that I work in the Dilbert...
