So in my last post about the ADHD “tax” of self-employment, I included a pdf handout I’d created for a panel I was part of. I just tried to go share something from that handout myself and realized it’s a PITA to use–not to mention probably an accessibility nightmare–so I’m just going to put it […]
The Other ADHD Tax: Self-Employment
Hey, it’s only been 10000 minutes–I figure it’s time for a post over here on dusty ole Mizz Information. I only have a few minutes because remember how I wrote about job hunting back in April? Well, three months of dedicated cover letter-writing, applying, interviewing and thank you emails resulted in…me remaining self-employed because working […]
Navigating change is hard. Doing it while job hunting during a recession is even harder.
There’s a weird sense of comfort in knowing you’re not alone when you’re struggling with something. Granted, it’s a pretty cold comfort since you’re still left to grapple with your own stuff alone, but still…at least you know it’s not just you. Sorry…let me back it up and start over so what I’m trying to […]
Will Associations Ever Move Past Shiny Object Syndrome to Strategy?
It would never have occurred to me a decade ago–or even five years ago–that in 2023 I’d still be writing about social media still being considered a shiny new thing to associations, or that associations would still be grappling with, essentially, social media 101. But of course, it should have occurred to me because what’s […]
My Top 10 Movies of 2022
How have I not done a movie recap since January 2018!? Oh yeah, COVID. What is it about COVID time that makes it like warp-speed? I mean, I knew it had been a while but FIVE YEARS of nothing after religiously doing an annual movie recap for a decade straight and it’s only just now […]
So what happened to Mizz Information?
So I doubt anyone is really wondering what happened to this blog. Like why, after almost 14 years of pretty regular writing I just sort of lost my writing mojo, or maybe just had said all I had to say and decided it was time to just wrap it up…does it really matter to anyone […]
Maybe I’m not done with Mizz Information after all?
First of all, how the hell does COVID time fly by so quickly? I could swear I wrote what I thought was the last post ever here maybe two or three months ago…I now notice it was back in January. Yikes. Or maybe yay is the correct sentiment when it comes to leaving the darkest […]
Knowing when to fold ’em
I just want to say one thing off the bat: I am horrible at saying goodbye. So horrible, in fact, that I mostly just don’t do them–I ghost, I avoid, I say I’m not saying goodbye yet…then just let the clock tick down until the opportunity has passed. I write a note instead of showing […]
How are you doing 18 months into COVID? Like, REALLY doing?
Hey! Blogging feels so weird now, as if there wasn’t an entire 12+ year period where it felt as natural as breathing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to push past the weirdness and just jump back in, only to have overthought it to the point of somewhere between panic and abject […]
How has it been 13 years? Plus TMI update on me and where I’ve been
I of course gave a lot of thought to doing some splashy thing to celebrate 13 years of Mizz Information. I also built a whole new blog, Chic n’ Geek, which is/will be more of a lifestyle blog than business one…but I got so obsessed building the site, trying different themes (4 in all–or maybe […]
