Raising the Bar

I’m finding myself a bit sleepy this morning. In addition to a busy week, I’ve got the latest version of “the crud”, so I’m not sleeping well.
As I was going through my morning news/blog routine, I found myself leaning back in my ergonomic desk chair like it’s a recliner. I found myself starting to fade. [...]

No Wonder I Lose Stuff

Ok, so I have lost my Treo twice since June. Once, it was right where it fell out of my bag. The other time, we had to file insurance on it for all the damage it endured.
Tonight, I figured out why it was so easy for it to fall out of the case. I had [...]

BarCampTexas January 26-27, 2008

I just signed up for BarCampTexas. There have been a couple of barcamps that I was invited to, but couldn’t make the dates due to weddings and other obligations.

Day 3 at StarVision Technologies

Day three. My boss is out of town this week and next.

It’s a busy time, but it’s all good stuff! I’m thrilled to be given the responsibility and authority to really make something happen.
Moreover, I’m glad to see someone [...]

Aggie ALLIES

Most of you know that I work with Aggie ALLIES, a safe-zone program for the Texas A&M community. We have expanded our educational programming (Thanks, Becca!), so there has never been a better time to go through the workshop—known as an Advance—to become an ALLY.
This flier lists the dates of the training

Skipping Christmas

I’ve not been clear to everyone about my Christmas intentions. This statement will rectify that.
I Am Skipping Christmas!
(honestly, I’ve tried this for a couple of years, now)

I will not do anything that doesn’t bring pure and rich value to my family and friend relationships.
I will not participate in annual “holiday” parties that happen to be [...]

Lori’s First Day

Today was my first day at my new job. For those just catching on/up, I’m now a Technical Writer for StarVision Technologies.
I spent most of the morning doing paperwork. This afternoon, I got a more formal tour from my boss, Mike. I was able to learn a little about what each project does (COOL stuff!) [...]

When You Wish Upon a Star….

So, after a pretty long medical leave of absence, I resigned from “REEX” on November 26th, worked through the 30th, and took leave through December 31st. Yes, push came to “shove it” and I told a couple of them where they could (with my eyes only, of course).
On Thursday the 29th, I saw a Tech [...]
