Public PTotD: We take a break from these job-related messages to reflect on 9/11.
Life has been tough lately. Relationships difficult. Friendships in fits and starts. But remembering how quickly they all can be taken from us helps me remember not to take them for granted.
6 years ago I woke up in SF to a call from my now-husband in Boston telling me he wouldn't be flying to ...

Public PTotD: What don't you like about your job?
Inviting you to let out your frustrations.
Me: I don't like the way it purports to be meritocratic but lets office politics get in the way (in a way that's bad for me).
I'm getting tired of traveling every week. I don't like that for most people that kind of travel continues throughout their careers. I don ...

Public PTotD: What do you like about your job?
While I'm taking some time off from work I'm going to be spending some time reflecting on where I'm going with my career. Watch this space for more.
Perhaps surprising to those who have been following my twits, I actually really liked my job until a few months ago - and I'm pretty sure that my dislike for my ...

Public PTotD: Disappearing UPS packages!
Currently on my mind is the fact that last night's Amazon delivery -- delivered to doorstop at ~6pm -- disappeared from my doorstop by the time I got home an hour later. Either it was delivered to the wrong how or it was PINCHED. Talked about me being pissed off.
It's never happened to me before. You?
What would you do?
I wrote to Amazon asking ...

Public PTotD: Do you go to the movies alone?
I like doing things alone - having dinner out, going to the movies, whatever. One thing I've noticed though is that there are an awful lot of people -- seemingly the great majority of people -- who have never been to the movies alone. Are movies inherantly social activities? I've never thought so - it's not like you're supposed to talk to ...

PTotD: Do you drink bottled water?
With all the bad press bottled water has been getting lately I'm almost ashamed to say that I do drink bottled water. I actually have a really strong preference too, for Dasani. I know, it's filtered water, but somehow after they filter it they remineralize it with the exact combination ...

Public PTotD: Collision of my online and offline worlds.
Yesterday I went to a blogger dinner and met some of my Twitter friends in person. People who were there know my online persona(s) as well as now knowing the real me. They are connected to me now on Facebook under my real name.
And I'm glad. I really enjoyed meeting them. It was totally worth it.
But now it ...

Public PTotD: Do you eat to live or live to eat?
I love food. I love everything from a nice bowl of Kraft Mac & Cheese to dinner at a Michelin 3-star restaurant. When I plan my vacations, restaurant selection is frequently the star piece. I'd have to count eating out AND eating in as two of my favorite hobbies.
And I like working with other people who love to eat ...

Public PTotD: Are personality tests useful?
I love MBTI -- I have actually found it really helpful in (1) understanding how to work with others and (2) explaining myself to others I work with. For (1), understanding that I'm a J when others are P helps me deal with my desire to be scheduled and structured and other people's preference to take things as they come, and remember to strike ...

Public What's your MBTI type? Today's PTotD was on introversion vs. extroversion but went to MBTI pretty quickly, so here's a link to a decent online version in case you (1) have no idea what MBTI is or (2) want to take it again for fun.
Me, I'm ISTJ (sometimes coming out as INTJ). Other people often identify me as ESTJ because I'm pretty talkative and ...

Public PTotD: Are you an extrovert or an introvert?
I'm curious whether people who spend a lot of time online are more or less introverted than people who don't. Or whether people who use online social networks or more or less introverted than those who don't.
I suspect it has a lot to do with how much you like to share, and not so much to do with ...
