Mountain of Papers

I hate filing.
I’ve hated it since I was a summer intern working at a corporate office. I remember the paper cuts, the sore back, and the endless piles ...
When I got my first real job I thought: “now I’m a full-time employee. I won’t have to do any busy work.”
Boy, was I wrong. Not only did I have to file, but I was in charge of filing for the entire department!
I remember collecting the files... READ MORE
Every Mom Works

I was intrigued by the variety of comments from at-home moms and all manner of working moms Daria Sockey received on her feature article about choosing to stay home.

Go read part one from my DIY (do it yourself) diary about installing a new faucet. I quickly learned that this DIY monster project was too fierce to tackle by myself and I needed help. With the Queen of DIY (my mom) and a couple of nephews in tow, we were ready to tackle step two.
Step two: remove the hoses from the faucet.
The hot water hose came off no problem. Sweet! Just like the video. This... READ MORE

Christmas Crunch
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, December 11, 2009

Productivity will likely drop off dramatically the week of Christmas,... READ MORE
