Everyday Bliss For Women In Leadership

Have I written about my office? It is mobile, Starbucks, Borders, Barnes & Noble - anyplace with either T-Mobile or free wifi hookups. Andy and I were talking about how we who work out of our homes tend to be cooped into the wake-work-sleep-in-the-same-place lifestyle. He goes to Panera, I go to one of my office sites around town. "I’m in my Cupertino office today….have to run up to the San Francisco office and check prices on single pull double-demi’s." Sounds cosmopolitan….isn’t. This is a picture of some of my cellmates officemates today at 6:45pm in the Stanford University Starbucks. They are a changeable lot. This fellow in the foreground looked suspiciously at me as I took the picture. I was pretending to be intensely interested in a text message and console myself in the fact that at this resolution, he is probably unrecognizable.

I am enjoying playing mobile offices but here folks, someone out there please invent this for me: A Maxwell Smart-like plastic bubble to lower over my head to have private cellphone conversations and block out the incessant drone of corporate jazz….  Said bubble should fold up and fit into a 3" x 5" pouch, suitable for carriage in the laptop bag. 

Orchids to ya on this warm, warm California day….wonder-admin Mario and my homegirl Lisa are both experiencing wading through inches of snow in Canada and Boulder respectively. Feels downright unnat’cherl, and I am tuning in to the leaves change in my homestate through a webcam as they tend not to in California. How weird is that….
