Geeks making pizza

Posted Tuesday, May 13, 2008 5:33 PM by HeatherLeigh
Here's a cool Microsoft morale event . OK, serious geek points to the guy who likened pizza-making to dog-fooding. Yeah, we love our geeks around here; how can you not? Also, I want that pizza oven in my backyard but they cost about $2K. And, you know, Read More...

Helping me resist the urge...

Posted Tuesday, May 13, 2008 4:52 PM by HeatherLeigh
to even do the sudoku in the inflight magazine . Am I surprised that flyers are lazy, gross and/or passive aggressive? Not really (have you ever been to Disneyland? How about the parking lot at a pro football game?) And like I said, I pretty much want Read More...

Heather: 27% happier

Posted Monday, May 12, 2008 10:22 AM by HeatherLeigh
Every year at this time, yard work totally weighs on me. It's not a feeling that I can honestly call guilt, but it pushes on my cranium in the same way. Maybe obligation? Whatever it is, I don't like it. Too much chatter in the brain; sentencers that Read More...

Yay! Retailers catering to freaks like me!

Posted Friday, May 09, 2008 11:43 AM by HeatherLeigh
Woohoo! I am not the only nut case out there that will not touch stuff in public bathrooms . Airport bathrooms are the worst. In any situation where a potentially snot (or worse) covered fixture needs to be touched, I assess the situation thusly: 1) Can Read More...

Juicing cows

Posted Friday, May 09, 2008 11:31 AM by HeatherLeigh
Yum! I have to admit that I have become a little addicted to the Power-C Vitamin water. As much as I eschew (hee...vocab. Check it) sugar as a general rule, I fear it less than I used to. In fact, right now I am drinking Gatorade Grape FIERCE (Bold! Intense! Read More...

You know you have been working from home too long when...

Telecommuting losing it's appeal?

Posted Monday, May 05, 2008 2:17 PM by HeatherLeigh
This article in eWeek is timely; this is exactly what is going on with me. While I love having the flexibility to work from home, it can be isolating. Sometimes you need to be around people. So I am more frequently dropping into the office for just that Read More...

Birds and stones

Posted Monday, May 05, 2008 1:34 PM by HeatherLeigh
I was going to start this blog post telling you that I am not normally the ind of dork that would buy a scooter. Problem is, I am exactly the kind of dork that would buy a scooter. When I was in college, I rode one to work one summer (no car, and it was Read More...

What about that bookshelf

Posted Thursday, May 01, 2008 4:06 PM by HeatherLeigh
I noticed today that I had a blog category called "What's on my Bookshelf". I don't remember what I was thinking when I created that category, but figured it would sure be nice to prove that I can read. Things have been so crazy, that it has been hard Read More...

Oprah is jumping the shark

Posted Wednesday, April 30, 2008 4:10 PM by HeatherLeigh
She has David Blaine on her show today and he's trying to set a record for staying underwater. Is it just me or that guy kind of creepy? It's his deadpan delivery. No duh he can get his heart rate down; seems like it's down all the time. Anyway, I've Read More...

They really make you ham it up for the camera. And the jumpsuit? Nobody looks good in 3 layers of clothes. I'm just saying. Thanks Australia. That's a wrap. Read More...

Last notes from the airport

Posted Wednesday, April 23, 2008 4:38 PM by HeatherLeigh
My flight was canceled and nobody told me (helloooo....Amex Travel?), so here I sit in the Sydney airport for an extra 3 hours. So I'll blog. I had some things that weren't worth a full blog post, just random notes. Uggs as a fashion statement? Still Read More...

Australia Travel Log: Day Ten

Posted Tuesday, April 22, 2008 5:03 PM by HeatherLeigh
Yeah, another day of touring. After this, I'd like to not get on a bus for a good while. Picked up at the hotel; full bus two and a half hour ride up to the Hunter Valley. Raining pretty hard, but out guide/driver is a pro. Within a few minutes of getting Read More...

Australia Travel Log: Day Nine

Posted Tuesday, April 22, 2008 4:29 PM by HeatherLeigh
Alright. Back again. You know, it's exhausting when you have excursions planned every day. But it's been great. I've gotten to see things that I have always wanted to see. So day nine was all about Sydney Harbor. First, the bridge climb. Or rather "The Read More...
