Just got back from Christmas shopping in Old Town. It was the annual Scottish Walk day, with many costumed and kilted Scottish people, bagpipes, and dogs in little coats.

Much fun. Except I tripped on a curb and fell. Whahhh.

Well, I have slightly mixed feelings...I find myself wanting to log in to KT email, after 12 or 14 years (minus 6 months at ZM) it feels like a limb is missing. After all, I identified with the KT community so much...it really does feel like a divorce (not that I know how a divorce feels, but you get the idea). Maybe once I really start my new ( Read more... )

Well, I finally did it...I have officially resigned from KT. I can't believe it happened so quickly. When I went to the interview at CPS on Monday (was it only 5 days ago?), I was optimistic, but I never thought it would be this great. There were lots of good omens though, like when I pulled up to the building (in DC, right near the capital), ( Read more... )

Well, so much for 6 months at home...I still ended up doing some travel, and some teaching, while I was supposed to be at home chained to my computer. I am actually glad to be going back on the road (7 weeks early). Teaching is just so much more rewarding, and fun. Plus, it tends to be short bursts of intense work, which I am more suited for.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I promise to write a good entry when we get back from Korea. Can't wait to see Geoff!

Well, yesterday was typical. I was looking forward to getting all caught up on this mountain of administrative tasks on this new job, when life intervened. A guy I spoke with on March 2 sent me an email Friday night (which I didn't see until Monday morning) asking for in-depth answers to a dozen questions about KT, the courses, implementation, ( Read more... )

I thought spring was here...but it's not. I'm in Princeton, and it's very gray with snow coming down, quite dreary really ( Read more... )

Well, today I'm finishing my initial training to be a stay-at-home salesperson, and I really feel like this could be a new beginning in a lot of ways. So, I'm committing to keeping up my entries in this journal ( Read more... )

Oh boy, it's fun to have a new house! Even a rental! I am so happy about the amount of space we will have, and the layout...just can't wait! I hope we don't have noisy neighbors. I'm glad we have a garage, so we can have room to store bikes and other stuff. The fireplace is pretty cool. It's a gated community which is pretty stupid, and a web ( Read more... )

Well, I just feel this will be a good year...it's nice having my birthday practically on New Year's Day, because I feel congruent - name a date, and I know exactly how old I was that entire year. On the other hand, I still feel in some ways that the new year should coincide with the school calendar. When I was 18, for half the year I was a senior ( Read more... )
