What keeps you honest?
Ah, the corporate expense report – the bane of every professional traveler’s end of trip paperwork. You need (and are owed) the reimbursement, but man, what a PITA. Don’t you think you deserve just a little more than the policy allows because you give so much of your personal time to the company? It’s not … Continue reading
Pocketbook Politics Conf Call Next Tuesday
Ladies, you might find this free conference call interesting to dial into… Pocketbook Politics is geared toward “professional women watching their dollars and making sense of public policy.” The last conference call was a legislative update from Rep. Lynne Riley. What I like about the calls is that a lot of information is relayed in a … Continue reading
Look alive, Cobb – Clear eyes, full hearts
The thing I’ve found true of every political situation is that if you pull and follow the tiniest thread, you realize it stretches across a lot of tapestries. That’s Cobb – everything’s connected. There’s a LOT going on in my little slice of heaven. One of them happens to be the race for Chairman of … Continue reading

A New Spot on Peach Pundit

Lobbyist, Legislator, or Liaison?
Crossroads. I met up with two former legislators and a former aide tonight. No formal agenda – just chit chatting. I heard all sorts of stories about lobbyists and legislators that simply disgusted me. I won’t go into details, but it was just sad. They shared with complete sincerity to not go into lobbying (yes, … Continue reading
Pre-gaming: Mass Precinct Training Tonight
Wowzer – what a week…how is it only Wednesday?? Lots of good stuff happening. I was out of town this past weekend, so no posts, website updates, etc. I won’t bore you with my schedule except to say – it’s been pleasantly packed. Tonight was the Cobb GOP Mass Precinct training. The officers, precinct captains, … Continue reading
Another First for the Cobb GOP
Hellooooo, technology and organization! Last year’s annual Fourth of July BBQ marked the first year attendees could buy tickets to the event online. In that vein, the upcoming Mass Precincts mark the first year Cobb voters can pre-register online. The 2010 Mass Precincts were of particular interest to those in the Cobb GOP because two … Continue reading
A Few Milestones
I know, I know – it’s been awhile. I can say my priorities are straight if that makes it better. I skipped town with my family this past weekend and descended upon Pigeon Forge. I didn’t turn on my computer even once. My middle niece turned fifteen, my 4yo niece rode her first go cart, … Continue reading
30 Min Conf Call with Rep Lynne Riley
While I don’t have the same view as Rep Riley on all issues, I do think it’s fantastic when a legislator makes herself so accessible to questions and shares what’s going on around the Capitol. I took a lot of notes during the conference call hosted by Pocketbook Politics. Given that my background is in the geek … Continue reading
