Mrs. Enginerd - Nerd Whisperer
When I was 23, a big engineering firm hired me to design their products, processes and tools in their PNW facilities. At the time I was fresh out of college and had lived all my life in one place, a city of about a million people in a tropical paradise. My US Citizen status, awarded […]
A few musings ago I posted a poem with the same title as this article and although it captures most of what I feel, there is something to be said about the subject of unrequited love. It is not unreasonable to argue that in most cases, from divorce to suicide pacts, the end of a […]
Rude, inconsiderate, unkind and uncouth. Completely amoral, unhinged and unrelenting. There is nothing redeeming or charming about your personality which makes me wonder why I cared so much about you to begin with. Was it me? My naiveté? Or was it you and your joie de vivre which confused me. For such an apathetic demeanor […]
I never knew who you really were. I have to tip my hat to you for keeping me in the dark for so long. Deep down inside I had a feeling that you were the one who would break my heart and scatter the pieces to the wind. Only showing me what you wanted me […]
Time. Riches. Joy. Sadness. Respect. Privilege. Equality. They are all relative. Why?

Pokémon Go hasn’t had a great start service wise but it has been good enough that it has created a firestorm. Everyone I know if either enjoying or hating the game, and some have quickly changed their minds about how it is a waste of time because of all the good that has come from […]
Read that title again. There are two fails. Yes. Two. In rescue, foster parents that end up adopting the animal they are taking care of are considered a foster failure or foster fail. When we opened our home and hearts to Zach on December 2015 our plan was to become a part of this awesome […]
“Hello, my name is MrsEnginerd and I play Pokémon Go because I like it.” It is hard to admit than in my mid 30s I enjoy playing Pokémon Go. Maybe it is the half Millennial in me or it could be the competitiveness of the Gen Xer half but there is something about this clever […]
There is not a day that goes by that I do not wonder if people have it all wrong when it comes to working. We are the only species that pays to live on Planet Earth. That’s insane. I get that we need inspirational sayings to get out of bed and justify life in general […]
I know what many are thinking, #AllLivesMatter is more accurate. Right? Wrong! Check yourself in a mirror and adjust yourself because your privilege is showing. *Gasp!* Many white leaders decided to detract from the #BlackLivesMatter campaign to claim #alllivesmatter because they fear that for once in their lifetimes their ignorance about race and racial discrimination […]
