About Me

The Future of Work

Getting sick of these posts yet? I keep posting them because this is something I feel strongly about. I enjoy my job but I don’t enjoy being tied to a desk all day. I want a job that encourages me to work efficiently and lets me decide the best way, place and time to do [...]

Blog topics brain dump!

I want to write! But there are so many things that I want to write about that I draw a blank when I open this window to start.  Maybe a list will help… 4 months with CI CI #2?  2 CIs versus 1 CI and 1 HA versus bilateral EAS Music lately (wish I’d remembered to bring headphones [...]

Slides In A Flash

Let’s start with a photo: These slide carousels have been sitting there for over a year now. Where did they come from?  Well, I have a home business called Slides In A Flash where I convert old slide photos to digital images.  Last summer I had a lovely man say he was going to send me [...]

Summer’s moving right along

Where does the time go? July 4th weekend my parents stopped to visit us here in Charlottesville.  I had a band concert that Thursday night and another on the morning of the Fourth of July at Monticello.  It’s always moving to see the naturalization ceremony conducted.  Last year the guest speaker was the president (which one? [...]

And now for something Completely different

I would much rather write blog posts about things that make me laugh.  Such as this kitten video:

Another work trip

Another work tripOriginally uploaded by sajego First gorgeous day at home since February and I spent it traveling. There was even snow on the ground here to greet me. How nice! I’m in the great state of Illinois to do some acoustical testing for our insulation research project. The material is very good fire insulation but [...]

Welcome, Class of 2010

In the past few weeks since I started this blog and really started looking for other CIers to connect with I’ve been amazed at how many people are in the same place I am.  Surgery dates a week before mine, or people visiting the same CI center I am.  People who went ot the same [...]

My hearing (hi)story…

Until I was 14 I had perfectly normal hearing. That October, it was 1993, I had a minor cold (really more like “sick of school”) and that led to a stuffy feeling and a very loud ringing in my ears. I went back to school after the weekend and things sounded very odd… a stuffy, [...]

Photo of Sara Looking out a Window

I'm a 30-something year old girl originally from upstate NY and now living in central Virginia. My background is in mechanical engineering and I worked full time as an engineer for 8 years. In 2010 I quit my job and started a laser engraving business.

I lost my hearing at age 14 and have been using hearing aids since then. In April 2009 I received my first cochlear implant. That went really well so in December 2009 I got the second. The CIs are what prompted me to start writing publicly - but I try to cover other things as well.
