What every techie knows
Tech support picked up to ask what the problem was. The apps weren’t talking to each other across devices. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t find a way to change the permissions or encourage them to work at all. After walking me through all the steps that I could use to remedy the problem,…

Repeating myself
I was consistently frustrated. I complained to anyone who would listen just how often I had to repeat myself to that woman. Meeting after meeting, I had to same the thing multiple times before it got through. What seemed obvious to me need explaining for reasons I couldn’t understand. Then, just to prove myself and…

Last week, there was an uproar about the Met Gala. And let’s be real, it was there in the weeks prior, too. It wasn’t about the general excess that the event was known for. No, it was about who would be there. Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sanchez, were named honorary co-chairs of…

On this air travel crisis
I am set to travel in just a short while. With the news as it is here in the States. I’m concerned. How soon do I need to get to the airport to make sure I make my flight? Am I going to be safe on the tarmac? Will I have an uncomfortable confrontation with…

Another government shutdown impacts air travel
Another government shutdown is wreaking havoc on the airline industry. More specifically, the partial shutdown that paused funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has meant longer security wait times for passengers. Even more specifically, the TSA workforce who have not been paid for over a month are calling out or quitting. A long…

What I learned about event management from attending SXSW
When I attended SXSW, I found myself gravitating to the panel discussions. I was there to learn as much as possible. Even more than just the topics, I learned some tidbits that will help me as I run events myself. Here are all the things I learned: Anyone with an idea can potentially get their…
