At this present moment I work on my half of a presentation for my Thursday class. What am I taking? you ask. The course is called Supervisory Skills for Women. Basically take all the leadership skills in a workplace through a female lens. I did well on my test for the class, now it's time … Continue reading Plugging Away

Snow Falls Thick and White
I woke up this morning to a light dusting of snow. This is it? I thought. Yesterday had nothing but winter storm warnings from the television to the internet. When I went to bed last night nothing happened. I put aside my disappointment to get ready for the run clinic. Today would prove an experiment … Continue reading Snow Falls Thick and White
Thanks, Colorado, For The Low
The winter storm had an afternoon arrival time. I had the day off anyway thanks to taking that last vacation day. All afternoon-nothing. As of 7:27 pm-still nothing. I look out my window to the street light, noticing nothing flaky flying about outside. Keep in mind snow and Winnipeg go together like peanut butter and … Continue reading Thanks, Colorado, For The Low
Winter is Coming Is Not Just a Stark Family Motto
I hate winter. I noticed the change of the seasons usually brings a droopy mood, increased appetite, and the inability to decide on anything. At work, the coffeemaker perked for the second time after the first pot cleared in under two hours. I really want an I.V. full of coffee and lug it around. Even sitting … Continue reading Winter is Coming Is Not Just a Stark Family Motto
A Rant in Silver, Python-Print Pants
When I sit down to write a post, the topic usually dictates the form. It's not a conscious thing like today I will write about such and such using a compare/contrast method. I feel grateful for a course called Writing Across the Disciplines for making me think about form, giving how I sometimes write a … Continue reading A Rant in Silver, Python-Print Pants
I’d Rather Watch a Zombie Show Than Go On A Dating Site
Tonight is the night. Season 3 of The Walking Dead premieres tonight. To mention crossing my fingers for a successful start is an understatement. Plus it's only a show. People will still take to the message boards to air some sort of displeasure about some part of the show. Personally, I hope to be both … Continue reading I’d Rather Watch a Zombie Show Than Go On A Dating Site
A Comedy of Errors
It's one of those days maturity plays a big role in perspective. A little while ago, I wrote about my follower count breaking 200. It looked like a large jump, and I didn't ask myself if it looked a little...strange. When I previewed a post, I noticed the count plummeted to 23. Any person, even … Continue reading A Comedy of Errors
Blog Spotlight: Readers’ Salon
I read a lot of library blogs by librarians, but Reader's Salon represents an entire library system. The contributor all work for the Winnipeg Public Library system, with each voice as unique as the selected topics . Why call it a 'salon'? Isn't that for hairdressers? you ask. Actually, a salon once meant as Merriam-Webster … Continue reading Blog Spotlight: Readers’ Salon
Midweek Geekiness: Bringing Home The Avengers and Writing Outside the Blog
Unless someone lives under a rock, The Avengers came out on DVD yesterday. I decided to purchase the DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack with plans to purchase a Blu-Ray player next month. The gag reels and other extra goodies remain in the Blu-Ray disc, but I have a Joss Whedon commentary on the DVD side. Fine by … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Bringing Home The Avengers and Writing Outside the Blog
Holy Cow! How Did That Happen?!
Every blogger takes a peek at their stats and number of followers on WordPress. Yes, every one including the ones claiming 'Pfft! Not me.' I don't know how the heck this happened, but I jumped from 130 to 237. Hooray! To those now following me welcome and thank you. To those earlier followers continued gratitude for your support. … Continue reading Holy Cow! How Did That Happen?!
