About Me

I ventured out and I accidently got stuck in Minnesota. Here's how it happened. I met my now husband James in Arizona at an internship and we decided to get our Masters Degrees, or more like it was 2002 and the job market wasn't "all that" anyway, especially for Industrial Engieering because everything was getting "offshored." Texas A&M took good care of us and I got a nice shiney Texas sized plaque to hang up. Then I looked for a job in Arizona but it wouldn't hire me so we moved to Minnesota where I took a position with a global consulting firm. I then worked locally in Minnesota for 2 years and now am on a project back in Phoenix. I spend my time calculating my airline miles to get me to the next "status."

What kind of Espresso am I?

Ok, so the 1:1 tea:coffee ratio thing didn't work. My Caribou card ran out and I'm trying not to refill it again.
