Okay, deep breath.
By signing up here, I'm promising myself that I won't be a
lurker.
I've admired those of you whom I recognize from years of lurking
over at The Site That Shall Not Be Named.
It's so easy to do... I just get to enjoy reading everyone
else's posts - here or there - see what all y'all are
thinking/feeling/dealing with. I get to feel empathy, laugh at
your cleverness, wish I had thought of this or that pithy
comment, learn about different perspectives from smart people. I
have been a little in awe of many of you, and have felt safe
standing apart.
But then WaPo/Hax chose to treat the 'Nuts so abysmally, and I
thought of the Joni Mitchel song, Big Yellow Taxi: "Don't it
always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's
gone..." And I decided that Reddit and the Hax Forum were a
second chance, and that, having been granted a second chance,
I'd jump in and get dirty!
So here I am, and I've never introduced myself...
Born and raised in Hawaii. Left at 21. Trained horses and
riders. Rode x-country on a motorcycle with my boyfriend. Became
an EMT then an ICU nurse. Left nursing for medical software
consulting. Burned WAY out. Got credentialed as a Life Coach.
Hated marketing myself. Now in my mid-60's, I love, love, love
plants and growing veggies, so am happy as a clam working at a
fancy retail nursery, where I cannot use my phone during the day
(except on breaks, to catch up with the Hax sites... all 3 of
'em)
So that's me in a paper bag.
Quiz to follow...
I'm so grateful for everyone here! I'll post when I can, which
is on my days off. It's a promise I've made to myself.
And yeah, I'll have to lurk on my workdays. But I'm good at it.
Carry on.
(Full disclosure, I posted something similar over on the Reddit
forum)
