8 Ways to Make Your Cubicle Less Soul-Sucking
When you work in someone else’s office building, there is, naturally, a limit to what you can do. You can’t paint the walls a cheery bright aqua, drag your desk over to the window, or switch out the florescent lights for cozy desk lamps, unfortunately.

I’ve made changes to the site, and I’m pretty excited about them. These changes are both functional and aesthetic, and I hope that you’ll let me know if you find anything amiss!

We spent the first few days of this week in Ocean City. It was lovely and too short. As usual. Someday I want to go for a whole week. That would be amazing. Also (and this has nothing to do with the images) would you like to help me come up with songs for a new playlist? Read on for details.

I’ve been spending a lot of time playing around with my music collection lately, and the result is three new playlists! One with new music for spring, another volume of Coffee and Keyboard for those times you need some wordless music for working, and a collection of music from the 1990’s – it’s a diverse group, so hopefully you will find something fun to listen to!
