200 Mrs Enginerd Posts! :D

Time flies! A year ago I started the blog to have a hobby during my funemployment, brought about a layoff or reduction in work force notice. Since March 20th 2015, I had been looking for ways to creatively communicate my frustration and trepidation towards this new chapter of my life. For the first time in […]

Death of Thrones

George R. R. Martin promised the readers that by the end of the books you would be in the middle of a war torn decimated land full of tombstones. It comes as no surprise that as season six winds down, the kill-o-meter is going haywire. Early on I realized that falling in love with a […]

My First Role Model: She-Ra, Princess of Power

My mom can attest to the fact that I had every possible item of the She-Ra collection. She was my favorite Princess, right before Allura and after Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty. My devotion to her and to He-Man was so spectacular and all consuming that to this day, I win trivia games because I know […]

Sci-Fi At The Pops

A few years ago, I went to the Boston Pops, an offshoot of the city’s symphony orchestra series that specialized in popular music functions. From the introduction, we learned that for a time John Williams had directed the Pops, which must have been a treat for the locals. Upon our return home, and during our […]

There is so much promise in moving and starting over in a new home that it would be hard to contain it all in one page. The apprehension alone of having to pack boxes and not forgetting that you moved when coming back from the office is a welcomed change. However, I am taking the […]

Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman

To my utter disbelief, Rebirth will not include Sensation Comics, a compilation of Wonder Woman short stories. From encounters with Cheetah to tales of love and war, this offshoot covered alternate story arcs for our favorite Amazonian heroine, unrelated to her main title series. It was full of color, innovation and diverse writer/artist content; a […]

No te estoy pidiendo que aprendas español…

A diferencia de los gringos, quienes imponen el inglés para conducir cualquier transacción, sin darse cuenta que el idioma de “ellos” se regó por el mundo gracias al imperio Británico, nosotros los latino americanos no vamos por el mundo pidiendo que aprendan español. Créalo o no, nuestra intención sencillamente es entendernos entre nosotros mismos, pudiendo […]

The Art of Being Direct

As part of a push to eliminate unconscious bias in the workplace, my employer has signed my organization up for diversity and inclusion courses. Because I am technically a part of the human resources team, our ability to remain neutral when confronted with race, gender and experience issues is paramount to conflict resolution and performance […]

The Legend of Wonder Woman

When the New 52 was up, DC decided to gift me with an – online 23 chapter and print 9 part – alternate origin story of Wonder Woman which they aptly called Legend of Wonder Woman. The intent, as I saw it, was to allow a woman writer and artist take a stab at the […]
