A Wandering Eyre

It is important to have a back-up plan when creating the plan you hope will work. Sometimes even the best laid plans go awry and then it is time to revamp, evaluate, call in the A-Team, or whatever is needed to keep the levy from breaking. I recently gave birth in a Birth Center with [...]

Today, I am packing up the car with animals, Wee Bairn, myself, and all the crap that must accompany us for a three day jaunt from home. Mr. Rochester will be following us later in the day. He has work and bachelor party festivities tonight. Sadly, I am fairly certain there will be no disreputable [...]

Don’t get too excited if this has turned up in your aggregator. Jane is not back in full time business. I am going to turn on Twitter updates to this blog because I have been able to write a couple sentences here and there some days. I expect most people are drowning in post Annual [...]

I have thoroughly enjoyed the small vacation of sorts that I have been taking the last month or so. I have immersed myself in the domestic needs of the Rochester household and concentrated on the business of gestating the child in my belly. I have not missed work, but I have missed being caught up [...]

(picture inclusion with a nod towards Helene Blowers) This post has been a long time coming. If all works out accordingly, this post will be published directly after or right before I hand the interested parties my letter of resignation from the University of Houston Libraries where I have worked for three and a half [...]

I really enjoyed the post and was reminded of all the people, [...]

The past week has been a whirl wind of catch-up. I still have to post photos from the iHCPL fun that occurred last week. I finally put up a TechSource post on some misadventures I had with social networking. This week, things will start to be more normal around here even though I am gearing [...]

This Spring, you may have noted that I posted a little less and bitched a bit more than normal. I have long considered writing this, but Karen’s post recently and the evaluating one’s life posts that have been floating around for the past year convinced me that now was the time. Karen’s post talks about [...]

Friday, how I love thee. I am at home and looking out into a day so clear and blue it sears my eyes to look upon it. The temperature is a lovely 68 degrees. My Five Weeks groups are keeping me on my toes. Our conversations covered everything this week from why superheroes should not [...]

What is personal and what is private in a world where online is everywhere? Today, one of our Five Weeks participants wondered aloud how we keep our personal and professional life separate online. My answer was, you don’t. You can, of course, omit parts of your life online, but once you put any part of [...]
