Since I'm at home for the summer, I have to use mom's MS PC which has IE on it instead of my beloved Mac. YUK! IE totally blows. I've tried for weeks to log into Blogger with no success. Nothing I did fixed the problem. Finally, unbeknown to my mother, I installed Foxfire and once again happiness rules the kingdom. Now, the only problem will be explaining to my mother what this icon is and what it means. That should only take a few weeks...
Anyhoo, the good news is, I can once again access blogger and finally get down some of these blog thoughts that have been circulating around my noodle. Stay tuned for more...

Join me...
Join me & become a member of the ASPCA and help the ASPCA fight animal cruelty.
The ASPCA was founded in 1866 as the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it’s saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country, we work toward the day in which no animal will live in pain or fear.

Ciao Dallas
At the beginning of this month, I turned in my notice. I had no idea how liberated I'd feel. Just peachy with a side of keen.
To backtrack a bit ... spring semester 2001 I began working for my current company. After graduation, I accepted a full-time position. Moved into a "better" position in the spring of 2002. Then in 2005, I moved halfway across the country... by myself ... to a new position at headquarters. (Oh glorious headquarters with all the VPs and SVPs.)
Anyway, away from family and friends, I settled into a new life. Adapting to this large metroplex with its flat land and hot, triple-digit weather (summer 9 months a year), I made new friends, and learned a lot about myself. The main lesson I learned: I have no place in corporate america. A good 6 years of solid effort, I can no longer play the internal political games, no longer work to put another penny in a stockholder's pocket, and no longer tolerate the de-empowering BS. So, after two years and change, I will finally say goodbye to Dallas.
In celebration of my impending departure, some work friends decided to throw a Happy Hour, or what I call the "Goodbye or Good Riddance" party (depends on your point of view). And on this note, I finally say Ciao Dallas, hello East Coast!
