For the last 20 years I have worked solely from my laptop. Freelance writing assignments, research, interviews, product testing for technical documentation, all of it.

I just ordered an external monitor and I’m insanely excited to actually have screen space to spare.

The family that pierces together…. Is fiercer together? πŸ˜‚ I got my tragus done, they did septum.

Since 2020 I’ve been digging my way out of a deep financial hole and trying to build stability for myself and my kids. Today I picked up my car after having some maintenance and an AC check done before summer. As I drove away it hit me how huge this is. I just had preventive care done and paid for it. No waiting for a crisis. No panicking over how I’d pay the bill. Not perfect, but Progress. It feels really good.

πŸ‘‹ Calling AI experts! I’ve seen a lot of talk about AI here. I’m currently working on an article about using AI in hiring practices. Already have a few sources lined up but would love to add one or two more, especially someone who’s involved in/understands technical side.
