The Professional and the Geek: Holiday Fun at Atalie's Office
http://theproandthegeek.blogspot.com/2015/01/holiday-fun-at-atalies-office.html
The Professional and the Geek. Holiday Fun at Atalie's Office. A little over a year ago, my department at work had a reorganization after my boss (the head of Business and Financial Services units) and his boss (the Vice Chancellor of Administration) both left the University. After a little observation that their replacements might be more modern and progressive, I started testing the waters to see if they minded more festive approaches to the work place, and I encouraged others to do the same. People ha...

The Professional and the Geek. And the rest of the journey to our destination (first view shown above! The wind was so severe at one point (it made it hard to breath), that we nearly turned around. But true to the name of the trail, we persevered a bit further knowing there would be a view of some falls up ahead. And the view at the top was an acceptable reward for our efforts! We made it just in time to see sunset over Admiralty Island. Perks of winter: it was so nice to avoid the crowds of tourists tha...

The Professional and the Geek. Climbing- a Forgotten Pleasure. As Atalie mentioned in her Santa Cruz "girls weekend," I went to Arkansas to climb with some pals (Pat, Jackie, and Derek) in mid October. We were all in need of a vacation and what better way to spend it than with good friends and no cell service! Here are some of my photos (with a couple from Pat and Jackie's stock):. Pat standing on the bluff with Sam's Throne in the background on Wednesday afternoon and a storm on the horizon. I was suppo...

The Professional and the Geek. Christmas was a little different this year, as our Scotland family flew over to the States (we haven't had all 5 together here for Christmas before! And some job scheduling factors pushed my immediate family's "Christmas" a week later (no problem at all though! Lol- it's pretty much an impossible assignment) to make the most we can of our next visit. :). Patrick with the two youngest nephews: Isaac (furthest left) and John. My Aunt was eager to see the outcome of some knitt...

The Professional and the Geek. For the one we wanted! We were smitten with the scenery outside our tent.until we stepped out of it in the morning. The wind that had kept all the bugs away at night had died and we became feasts once again! After a fresh dose of chemicals, we braved staying stationary long enough to take a picture to preserve the memory of our campsite. Kinda weird how our waists and ankles line up with the lake's edges- gives the photo a slightly odd look. Patrick's coworker, Michael, and...

The Professional and the Geek. September was a busy month, but definitely in the good way! After prepping for a visit from Patrick's parents, they arrived Friday the 19th. We had a fairly relaxing weekend to recover from work and their drive across the country, with local fare like pizza and wine tasting at the Vista, and a trip to the farmers and flea markets. After settling in, we walked along fisherman's wharf area to get to dinner at the Blue Mermaid, and the way back to our hotel took us super close...

The Professional and the Geek. Looking now at the highlights from July, it appears we spent a lot of the first half of it in the Tahoe area! Patrick is around there a lot for his job anyway, but our recreational activities took us there as well. Our friends Phil and Vanessa were married at The Hideaway. Check out the website- the place was awesome! Earlier in the day, we went on a hike in the back parts of the property. Here's a view of the cabin, from afar! Car camping is full of comforts! After our day...

The Professional and the Geek. Back in February, Patrick was gone a few weekends for various expeditions, so I decided to get brave and have a couple of my own. Plenty of my friends have been on solo hikes, but I had not yet done any outdoor trek alone so I decided it was time to give it a shot! As my family knows, I am completely navigational-challenged so I first chose a hike Patrick and I had been to twice. Remember last spring the photos of all the orange hillsides covered in poppies? Made it to the ...
