Did You Really Just Say “Oops!”???

Posted on April 10, 2011 By Sister Rain

I have written several times about my dislike of USAir. Click HERE for my most recent posting. On April 4th I received the above email from them. It was entitled “They’re waiting in your account!”. Then on April 9th I received another email from them which they had the nerve…

When Bad Technology Happens To Good Geeks

Posted on April 9, 2011 By Sister Rain

Sunny, dry day in Pennsylvania after a week of clouds and rain. No work today — at least none that I have to drive to. Today is filled with wash and trying to put my house back together after a week of living in it. And fixing things that aren’t…

The Good Old Days . . . They Just Weren’t So Good At The Time

Posted on April 6, 2011 By Sister Rain

It took me 2 hours to get home tonight because of an accident on the turnpike. It usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour. For three years my commute to “my job”, which was searching for a new job, was about 10 seconds, from my bedroom to our office….

Earn New Miles But Keep The Old — I Wish

Posted on April 6, 2011 By Sister Rain

In the last five weeks, I have flown almost 12,000 miles with another 6,000+ coming my way next week. Fourteen months ago an airline who shall remain nameless, (OK I name it HERE), stripped over 46,000 miles from me because I had not flown with them in 18 months. No…

Feeling Dehydrated Already

Posted on April 4, 2011 By Sister Rain

I’m back in the office today, having BlackBerry and other technical problems. Such a culture shock to be on-site all week then come back to office politics and other nonsense. Why can’t we bottle that feeling of success and a job well done and drink it when we are back…

Returning To Home Plate

Posted on April 3, 2011 By Sister Rain

Once again, I apologize for the lapse in posting. I was away all week managing a meeting and had no time to write or eat or use the bathroom . . . OK, I might be exaggerating a little bit. When I left home, we had had snow and ice…

The Sister Rain

Posted on March 28, 2011 By Sister Rain

One of the really nice things about my company is they provide a car service for us to/from the airport when we travel for business. This morning a friend who lives down the street saw a Towne Car parked in front of my house and instant messaged me about it….

Hand Cream May Not Fix This

Posted on March 21, 2011 By Sister Rain

What does it mean when you’ve been wearing an wedding ring and engagement ring for over 18 years and all of a sudden the skin under it begins to flake like a January snow? None of the other parts of either hand are flaking. Last year the church I got…

Not Rodeo Drive But Close

Posted on March 21, 2011 By Sister Rain

Today we had a meeting at work with a vendor who wants us to use them for a specific type of event that we might be doing. We were all in the conference room, listening to their spiel, when I looked down at the business cards the two gentlemen had…

Probie No More

Posted on March 19, 2011 By Sister Rain

I completed my first meeting this week. My first day back in the office after the meeting was today and it coincidentally fell on my 3-month anniversary with my new company. No flowers were delivered and at the other end of the spectrum, I wasn’t removed from the building either….
