I should be writing my grant for Fiskars. But I decided to pop onto LJ before my team leader showed up for a visit "to help" me and my boss through the AmeriCorps process. I don't know how she will be helpful unless she knows most of the food industry business in Spokane and is willing to hook me up ( Read more... )

So I'm working for a new nonprofit now.

This new nonprofit has four well established programs that service low-income women and their children, as well as homeless women.

Add to this equation staying up all night with a guy when I really should be studying for hard tests that morning! No wonder I’ ( Read more... )

Where to start? School starts on the 28th and I'm geekishly looking forward to it. (Okay, so I've never been able to remember and separate in my mind the difference between geek and nerd. I think this will be a problem for me one day.) I have been delving into books, because for some reason I can't seem to drag my ass out of the apartment, or when ( Read more... )
