A few weeks ago a new manager position in my department (Reporting) was announced. This new manager would be overseeing the Reporting team that would support a new department that was created when two others were merged together. Being in a support role when two cultures are being merged is never easy. Lots of shifting…
A-Trak @ The Complex SLC
First post in almost two years to this blog. I’m trying turn over a new leaf. Post more stuff here and just crosspost it to the other places I frequent. Enough about that… let’s get on with it. Went see A-Trak last Tuesday at The Complex. What is it with venues in Salt Lake City…
Update for the Peoples!
It’s been two weeks since I started working at ye olde online retailer. Things are going well. Everyone I work with has been super nice. My boss is great. These first two weeks have been about learning their database. I only started to do “real” work late last week. It’s 100% straight up SQL, no…
On Choosing
Today I made a choice. I decided to take a job at Overstock.com instead of One on One. I’m super duper excited about the new job. Who wouldn’t be. I would have been excited about either job, really. Let’s break it down a little… Overstock offered slightly more money and better benefits. Overstock is closer…

Remember my last post where I said all was well and good in the world. Well… something happened on the way to happily everafter. Yesterday morning I received a call from my boss.…
Massive Update!
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. Well, it’s been like 5 months since I had enough time to think, much less post anything substantive to the good olde series of tubes more commonly known as the internets. Well, I lot has happened in that 5 months. Here’s a…
Green Tara… aka the Puppy post!
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. It’s been quite some time since the old man in our house, Mr. Bentley, passed away. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I missed him as much as I did (even though he was really a momma’s boy). Liz was ready…
Brakes!!!!
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. Took my car to get a checkup today. Just your normal maintenance. Was told that I need brakes… and a battery. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until I have more money. At the very least I need to get a second…
