News

So, after eleven plus years at Integris Health, last Friday I gave my two-weeks notice. There is a lot I could write about this, but it turns out that trying to transfer eleven years' worth of knowledge and processes to semi- computer-literate women over the age of 50 is kinda time-consuming.

My last day in this office is October 1st. I approach it with some sadness, but really more curiosity to see what the future holds.

My new employer will be Delta Dental.

More as I find time...

A scary, yet humorous passage from Tony Blair's new book

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes, and I have stumbled across the full range in my time. I recall sitting across the table from some leaders, unable to think of anything other than: my God, the poor people of that country. You get the dumb; the cynical; the tedious; the mildly unsuitable; the weird; the products of systems so mad and dysfunctional, you find yourself marveling that the leader is sentient, let alone capable. And frankly some weren't sentient. I remember asking rather unkindly when told of one leader's death, "How could they tell?"
