I had an excellent birthday yesterday, despite having to go in to work. I had a fun and interesting meeting with my co-teacher, where we hammered out plans for this week and discussed our thinking for the last few weeks of class. Sitting in my office, I was thrilled to see so many birthday wishes…
So I’m 41. I survived a year of being 40. Now I guess I have to say I’m in my 40s. It’s been an interesting year. I voluntarily quit my job during a time when many people are being laid off, at an age when many people are looking for their next move up the…
I’m supposed to be grading right now, but I’m not, mostly because I need at least one more cup of coffee before I can tackle that. I am a slow grader. I can only manage 3 or 4 papers at once before I start to pull my hair out. It’s not that the papers are…
I don’t think I’ve been so glad to see a Friday come around in a long time. This has been a rough week in Geeky land. Everyone was sick. I, too, got a cold and sore throat. I was so grateful not to have stomach issues like Mr. Geeky and Geeky Boy that it seemed…
This post this morning made me feel much better about my lack of energy yesterday. One of the things I’m actually focused on is doing less. Of coming back to a place of real balance. I had taken to heart the common corporate (and educational institution) mantra of “Do more with less.” I’m sure that…

Today we head back home. It’s been a nice visit but I think we’re all ready to be back home in our familiar surroundings. We have the weekend to recover and then it’s back to school for the kids, back to reality. January for me is filled with a few deadlines. I’m conducting a day-long…
I think Tim is going to regret tagging me. I have really bad taste in films. I’m much more of a book or tv show person for some reason. Mr. Geeky is the movie guy. I was, however, happy to see that Tim’s not the hugest fan of Hitchcock either. I mean, I like his…
So far, I’ve made breakfast, two lunches, wrapped two presents, looked up addresses to ship said presents, and collected the recycling for today. It’s going to be a long week. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
Bummer. I just discovered this blog six months or so ago as I started contemplating the possibility of a different job structure. I’ve gotten great advice from it, and just find it interesting as a lens into the world of entrepreneurship and freelancing. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day…
