Mormons and me, it’s complicated
The other day when I had a glass of wine with the Frenches, they asked me if I was Mormon AS they poured me a glass of wine. It gave me pause because although I’ve been asked that question a gazillion times the circumstances of this particular time was unusual. It must be hard for [...]
Change
Sometimes change is painful. Especially when killing the code must happen before you can properly “alter” it. Update: Tired, drunk…still haven’t rid myself of the ugly blue font. Now Buddha wants me to kill him on Scrabble. I’m the only girl on the planet with a BA in information systems who looks at code and sees [...]

McCrazy

Trying to Define the Future
I’ve dusted the cobwebs out of my blog and now it’s time to refill this dusty place with something fresh. If not fresh, then at least recent. I took the GMAT and didn’t get a sufficient score to get into the MBA program I was shooting for. Of course I spent the balance of my [...]
