Tell Us How You #promotewomen →
good:
Last week, we asked you to do your part to end the gender gap in your industry by promoting women through your networks. The five-minute task: Find three up-and-coming women in your field. Pair them with three established professionals. Then connect them via three quick, personal emails.
In the past week, we’ve heard from women nominated for bonuses within their companies, recommended to...

Apparently this saga is not over. (Uggh dot com slash whyyyy) However, that means I had an opportunity to get on Pinterest this morning.
(I’m sorry, or, you’re welcome.)

Cryptic posts are cryptic.
As terrible as things feel right now, I think they are about to get worse.
My Spidey sense is tingling in a bad way, and I really really really hope I’m not right.

Super Bowl? Super hungover.
Feeling nauseous and headachey again today, like I did all weekend.
It’s either because of this, or because I’m post-Super Bowl hungover.
(But really, the magnitude of my alcohol consumption last night was directly related to this, so I guess it all comes full circle.)
lots of pain. lots.
Well yesterday was a banner day.
12 hour work day (no lunch, of course). 6 days into my 17 day wait for an urgent-but-not-quite-ER-urgent medical issue associated with lots of discomfort. Plus major cramps (continuing today). Plus breaking up with the guy who I had thought was perfect, who I had been crazy about and told my family that I could see spending the rest of my life with. A draining...

February 1st
Despite not getting home until 15 min ago, I still managed to get in Day 1 of this.
Unrelated: I had no idea what a luxury it was to have a walk-in clinic on campus at school with several general practitioners with specializations until I started having an urgent-but-not-quite-ER-urgent issue that I can’t get a (in-network) specialist to address until February 14. (That is two weeks from...

Overheard at the office: "I would be cool."
Abbey: i'm thinking about getting another tattoo

Abbey: i do. i have a tattoo of a snake, actually

Abbey: on my back. "above the tramp stamp area" is what i asked for and received
me: duuuuuuuude. amaze. so are you slytherin?
Abbey: some mix between slytherin and ravenclaw, i'd say :D
me: I think I'd be ravenclaw. cho chang was ravenclaw. but she sucked. I would be cool.

Liking someone makes you think like a crazy...
It’s true.
And the more you care/more vulnerable you feel, the more likely you are to act like a crazy. (Direct correlation.)
This is a problem.

So, my mother has moved into a giant new house where all of my childhood detritus is not welcome. I was asked (very nicely, in fact) to consolidate the boxes of my stuff that had been moved from one city to another to another over the past 5 years.
I had actually done a great job with a purge before move #1, so there was not all that much crap for me to dispose. However, the stuff that I did...

Year in Review
I am all nostalgia-centric these days (likely from being at home and having to clean out box after box of childhood memories that moved from house to house to house with my mother over the past 4 years).
In light of a week of severe introspection, family, and time to remember who I used to be, here’s my year in review color story:
Traveled halfway across the planet to visit my sister in...

35. Still unable to get through Joyce’s Ulysses; currently on his fourth attempt; contributes to an insecurity that holds he’s “not good enough” and “not intellectual.”
36. Three-week long stalemate with Beyonce regarding a particular baby name.
This is perfect.

Cara: I'm surprised the door guy gave you so much trouble
Lisa: see, I don't have the remote thing, just the keys, otherwise this would not have been an issue
Cara: So it's kind of a moot point to have a key sans clicker?
Lisa: ish. I can lock up when I leave that way... but I can't get in without it. it's an interesting middle ground between "Having a Key to the Apartment" and being the morning after girl.
Cara: Hmmm the remote thingys were only $25 at my weekend job FYI. And hardly!
Lisa: I don't know if I WANT a remote thingy yet. I don't know if we're there yet if we aren't even saying ILY yet...we probably should not be at the remote thingy stage yet
Cara: Haha didn't you hear? They've updated that childhood jingle. None of that first comes love then comes marriage nonsense. First comes shacking up, then comes key fobs, then comes mutually decided commitment levels :)
Lisa: maybe you should work in PR. I like your spin.

I am working on a really cool project for Bleacher Report where we are looking for two hosts: one young attractive female (18-25) and one guy (24-30) that is comfortable in front of a greenscreen and can ad-lib.
Cue intense unhappiness for having moved out of NYC for DC last year… NOW! Especially given my (albeit questionable) street cred from the Spec Sports section...
Days like today make me never want to be promoted.
