much ado about... anything: February 2009
http://pipergal.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. I'm sitting in a typical grey office cubicle in Colorado, eating a sandwich at my desk with nothing but the buzz of fluorescent lights, the clicking of fingertips on computer keyboards, and the occasional "blrp! Of the telephone to interrupt the otherwise typical monotony of my work day. It's atypically warm outside, but the mountains are still covered in snow and the north winds are still blowing cold. More snow and blizzards are definitely on the way. This is the only thing...

Thursday, June 4, 2009. My thoughts are provoked from some of the strangest places. most recently from an hilarious old move I just saw,. The More the Merrier. 1943) starring Jean Arthur and Charles Colbrun. Here's the scene that really got me thinking:. Mr Dingle: Do you keep a diary, Miss Milligan?

Wednesday, January 14, 2009. It's not rocket science. Children do not work here, and grown ups should definitely know better. It's not rocket science people! When you've finished "your business," you flush. Simple as that. So why do I keep discovering so many unflushed toilets at work? Perhaps I should notify HR. apparently, a new prerequisite needs to be added to some job descriptions:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Its not rocket science.

much ado about... anything: March 2009
http://pipergal.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Wearin' o' the orange. As many friends and coworkers have chased me around the office this morning, trying to pinch me because I'm not wearing green, I offer this little history lesson:. Catholics wear green. Protestants wear orange. Friday, March 13, 2009. I'm learning to simply stand in the complexities of life and faith. I'm learning to relinquish all my presumptive thoughts and ideas. I'm learning to trust, not idolize. I'm learning the difference. Tuesday, March 10, 2009.

Contemporary Native: August 2009
http://contemporary-native.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Rantings on Daily Life. Monday, August 31, 2009. There are a lot of issues out there that are political and for the life of me I don't know why. Most are personal issues that should have nothing to do with government. Certainly there are plenty of things I believe the government should get involved in, but the following list (part one) is not included:. Prayer in Public Schools. Do you see it? I keep hearing about the definition of marriage these days. Who defines it? Sweden not the USA! But back to my m...

Contemporary Native: March 2012
http://contemporary-native.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Rantings on Daily Life. Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Jack of all Trades. My position included all graphic design for independent projects outside of the newspaper itself, all design jobs for the offset press, one big yearly magazine for the rally, a quarterly gambling magazine for Deadwood, the snowmobiling tab that ran weekly over the winter, and the weekly Sunday giant shopping inserts. I learned so much at that newspaper. Their system was so dated when I got there! I eventually left that job to take a pos...

Contemporary Native: When You Have to Tell Them
http://contemporary-native.blogspot.com/2012/05/when-you-have-to-tell-them.html
Rantings on Daily Life. Monday, May 21, 2012. When You Have to Tell Them. Some of you have been there. It starts with the moment you learn something that you KNOW will adversely effect someone you care about. What do you do? If it is bad enough do you contact the "authorities"? Do you tell them knowing they'll probably hate you forever? But not for one family I know. My husband said it doesn't matter. The more time that was allowed to flow by, the worse the situation could get. I had to tell them. Karen ...

Contemporary Native: September 2009
http://contemporary-native.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Rantings on Daily Life. Thursday, September 10, 2009. The Great Depression should have taught us something about perseverance and hope. I completely believe we have our own '50s generation coming. Yes, what goes up must come down (I tried telling people that about the stock market back in the late '90s). But the opposite is also true. Our economy, and us, will rise again. My own mantra, and I hope it helps America, is to find beauty in every day. Now stop moaning and smile. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
