I’ve had a few emails from people associated with Out & Equal asking why I quit the organization. While I’d love to make the whole thing public, I’d rather be a little cautious. Upon assessing the landscape in my final 5 weeks, I determined two things: 1) You should never give a job 5 weeks [...]
Vaillancourt Fountain, by Armand Vaillancourt. Built in 1971. This wonderful sculpture sits between the Ferry Building and the end of Market Street in San Francisco. Photo by Flickr user Pinhole. Why is it that every time WordPress puts out an upgrade, it take me hours to figure out why the “automatic upgrade” has [...]
So, let’s say you have 14 business days until the end of your job. Let’s say you’ve accumulated roughly 13 days of paid sick leave. Finally, let’s say that upon ending the relationship with your employer, you will be paid for 1/4 of accumulated sick time per the employee manual. What would you do? What [...]
A couple of pieces of news today. Let’s keep it short and sweet with the awesome bulleted list format: So, remember that time when I tried to do 100 push-ups and ended up puking on the streets of San Francisco’s financial district in the middle of the day? It was like, a month ago or [...]
My trainer today pointed out the difference between today’s workout and my first session with him. During that first session, I could barely last 25 minutes and nearly injured myself. Now, we’re doing 50 minutes with considerably higher intensity. He also pointed out that I actually have pretty big arms and chest, we just need [...]
I have an article in the current issue of Echelon magazine, “Understanding Diversity Fatigue.” It’s almost as good as the article I wrote before the management at my organization had to edit and review. I’ll have to see if I can dig up the unedited version for my portfolio. Anyway, it’s still more intelligent writing [...]
It’s probably at least a year overdue, but I handed this in to my management team this morning… Please accept this as official notice of my resignation. As you know, over the last two years, I have had many differences of opinion with upper management regarding the processes, objectives, and priorities for the organization. These [...]
After a great deal of thought, I’ve decided I have no choice but to quit my job. It’s taking up too much of the time I should be using to study, constantly makes me unhappy, and shows no sign of ever improving. I don’t know what I’ll do for money, but I’ll probably move back [...]
There’s a lot happening tomorrow. A short list of the important things about March 4, 2008. Yet another round of important primaries. Although Senator Clinton is already suggesting she plans to stick it out in the campaign until the August convention. Gee, I’m sure glad that I’m not involved with a group planning an event in [...]
Tonight involved two after-work events. First, today was the next-to-last official day for our colleague Cady, so we gathered at Ginger’s (formerly Ginger Trois, now under new management) to have drinks and wish her well. The thing about Ginger Trois… they poured heavy. The new ownership isn’t quite so bad, but it’s still a generous [...]
