what is going on?

Tagged death south africaI just learned about the murder of someone I know.
He’s the second person I know who has died in the past month or so.
The week I learned of the first death, a coworker’s old friend was killed in Peru.
I’m a little shaken. I don’t know what’s going on. But it’s not good.

:( :(

Tagged accidentsThree people I know have been in car accidents in the past week. Fortunately, nobody’s been hurt too badly, but my friend Andrea just called from the doctor’s office to cancel our lunch plans for today because someone hit her car this morning on the driver’s side.
Aaagh.

rita: hoping for the best

Tagged hurricane ritaMy friend Wendy is stuck in Houston…they couldn’t evacuate because of the horrible traffic. So she and her husband are sticking it out at her in-laws’ house.

Tagged certifications, pmi, pmp project managementI passed my certification exam this afternoon so I’m now officially a PMP! (And no, it’s not pronounced “pimp.”)
The exam was harder than I expected. But I’m so glad it’s over. I actually scored better on the real exam than I did on the practice exams…I can’t explain that.
Yay for […]

allergies suck

Tagged 43places, 43things allergiesI’m guessing it’s my allergies, but I have felt like total crap today. I’ve had barely enough energy to lay around all day…seriously, I really just wanted to climb back in bed and go to sleep like ten times. And today was supposed to be one of my last bootcamp PMP exam […]

volunteering for katrina…in person?

Tagged hurricane katrina volunteeringI can’t quit my day job just yet (and since I forgot to buy a lottery ticket, I probably won’t be able to quit for a while)…but I do get the week between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day off every year. I’d like to go somewhere and volunteer in person to […]
