Work

The phone, video phones, multi-tasking and “the future”

Ever since I started ‘chatting’ on the internet back in 1995 or 96 I’ve been a multi-tasker.  My mom and I chatted, my friends at college and I chatted, I even IMed with my roommates when we were in the same room.  The reason this works so well is that it allows us to have [...]

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, [...]

Four months, research, music

Let’s see how I do with my last post’s list.  I’m going to take CI/hearing topics today.
1. 4 months with CI
That’s right.  I was activated way back on May 4th.  I’ve been in for just 3 mappings since then at 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months (though all were a bit late).
My audiogram has remained hovering around [...]

Too busy to write = Too busy to worry

One week from now I’ll hopefully be done with surgery and on my way home if not already home.  I won’t know what time to report on the 29th until the day before.
Working backwards from there…..

The night before surgery, Don and I will drive down to Chapel Hill and take up residence in the lovely Carolina Inn, [...]

Wearing Jeans on Friday

Email sent out a few weeks ago at work:
Please remember that you may only wear jeans on Fridays if you make a donation to the United Way. Friday is not a casual day. Employees are permitted to wear jeans on Fridays strictly as a fund raiser for the United Way.

I'm a 30 year old girl originally from upstate NY. I work full time as an engineer and try to pack as many hobbies into the other 14 hours of my day as I can. 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.
