COOL

By Julie | Published: June 20, 2012
The heat index is rising up here in the loft office. Which I much, much prefer to the winter alternative, when I’m forced to wear fingerless gloves and scarves and hats and four layers of sweaters for months on end. Except that… I’ve got this somewhat-confused heat-handling system in this crazy self of mine and, [...]

UPDATE: WHERE DID THAT END UP?

By Julie | Published: October 19, 2011
So…remember the sweet metal treats I recently picked up for almost nothing at a church yard sale? Slowly but surely, they have been finding their homes. Wanna see? The filmstrip case fits perfectly into the IKEA EXPEDIT bookshelf up here in the loft office, right next to my desk. For now, it’s organizing all those loose crinkly papers [...]

THE OLDER THE BETTER: STAPLERS

By Julie | Published: February 8, 2011
Why buy a wimpy, carbon-copy, plastic stapler at the office supply warehouse, when you can buy an old, heavy-duty, metal one for a quarter at an estate sale? One that comes with its own history—and carved-in initials… Why buy a stress ball when you can simply pound a few staples? Why staple quietly when you [...]

CANDLE LIGHT

By Julie | Published: January 24, 2011
Sometimes when the day is hard and cold inside and out I light a little candle and let it be the warmth I can’t seem to find within this self of mine . And if the candle was a love-you gift and it smells like hope and it fits your office like a glove and it’s from [...]

LATE, LATER, AND LATEST (AN UPDATE)

By Julie | Published: November 24, 2010
THE LATE: So the updated registration tabs for my vehicle were due by September 30. I just realized this yesterday. Awesome. The plan was to head out early (OK, noonish) to one of my favorite places on the planet—my local DMV—to clear this up. THE LATER: Sometime during the night one of these was placed [...]

ROUND THE CLOCK

By Julie | Published: October 20, 2010
The good news is I have an over-the-top-crazy amount of work right now and I’m a self-employed single mom. The bad news is I have an over-the-top-crazy amount of work right now and I’m a self-employed single mom. Kinda going nonstop over here this week. In fact, I can’t quite remember if that photo I snapped [...]

ORGANIZED OFFICE: FINALLY

By Julie | Published: September 28, 2010
It’s been a dream for a long time, and I may have finally arrived. Yes I realize it might only last a week or two, but it’s still worth celebrating, I say! But before we go here… . Let’s go here. Because, I’m not sure about you, but sometimes looking back at how far I’ve come [...]

I GOT TAGGED: OFFICE CLEANUP

By Julie | Published: September 24, 2010
Wow did I need that challenge, Em. This is where I’ve been spending 10-12 hours a day lately: . The hardest part of the clean-up? The decision pile. Other than that big, empty cardboard box that somehow ended up in my “in” box, every piece of paper in there is a decision to make, a [...]
