Another day, another migraine. There's nothing quite like working with people who can't get by with task lighting to really irritate those of us under 50.

"So what do you do all day?" How I hate this question. Whether a parent chooses to work outside the home or stay home to care for their children - they are all busy! But stay at home moms have it tough. Supervising children is a full time job (that is why some people make a career out of being a nanny or babysitter.) In addition there is al

I had to get my car repaired this week and was relieved when I found out the dealership had a shuttle service that would take me to work. That was until I realized I would be held captive in the van for nearly an hour, and our driver was angry, clueless and TALKED ALL THE TIME. If you talked to him, you would regret it.

Earthlings, Meera and I have always had an answer for any question our son Zorkey asked us. We are embarrassed to admit, that despite having super intelligence which few species in the billions of galaxies can match, we were befuddled, stumped and silenced. Our son Zorkey was shocked when he heard us say, "We do not know, it i

All this time I appear to be a bleeding heart for my colleagues, I always think about my own selfish ways. For the voice dialing I thought I never have to pick a receiver again and for the handicap access I thought when I bring my bike in to work I don’t have to leave it outside chained to the bike stand. I can roll it into the building witho

Here’s my rant of the week, of an event at work yesterday.
