Potentially Rebranding

Hi all, just so you know, I am trying to increase the 2018 post count, so make sure you check posts before this one, as I will be updating more frequently.

So, I finally got around to changing my blog's description. If you're not sure what that is, it's the line beneath the title "Lair of the Gryphon". It used to be "A daily blog about my life", and has presently been changed to "A casual blog about my life". Pretty lame, I know, but more accurate. When I started this blog, the intention was to pressure me into doing something worth talking about every day. But once I developed a lifestyle worth talking about, I was busy enough to have it frequently fall  by the wayside on my priorities list. Plus, much of the things worth talking about contained confidential information concerning those I serve, which I obviously can't blog about.

So it fell from a daily routine, and only now have I modified the description, some nine odd years later.

With that being said, I'm open to new ideas for what the description of the blog should be. I'm having difficulty developing a phrase that really encompasses what we do here.

And while I'm at it, I'm also open to ideas for renaming the blog itself. I originally named it "Lair of the Gryphon" partly because it contrasted my previous Livejournal blog, "Lair of the Rat Sage" (I owned pet rats at the time), and also because a gryphon is a mythical beast, and as a dragon has a "lair", so should a gryphon.

Unfortunately, the name of the blog has led to some BDSM jokes among fans (yes, I have fans)

I do enjoy the fact that the initials of the blog (LOTG) parallel closely with the Lord Of The Rings (LOTR), but that not be a concrete reason to keep things as they are.

So yeah, open to suggestions for blog title and description. Right now, for blog title, I'm thinking "The Gryphon's Roost" or "The Gryphon's Nest". Let me know what you think in the comments or if you have other ways of contacting me.

At any rate, what is new with me is that I recently chaired a Core Competency meeting at work. I was really stressed about it. Initially, I didn't know where to submit my story from the previous meeting or what topics I should be covering for the next  one. After some frantic investigation, I figured things out. I was to cover "Interpersonal Relationships and Respect", as well as "Strategic Planning". This would be the final sesssion of my group for the year. Kind of odd for me to experience, as this was only my second Core Comp meeting ever. Meeting went fine.

We are finally replacing the roof where I work. Somewhere between my student placement and my current employment, our roof developed leaks. This past week, we have had a crew fixing things up, although somehow, our agency remained open. Over the past few days,  we have been dealing with the sounds of banging on the roof, falling debris, and the smell of tar. We have had to strategically guide program participants to areas of the building where construction isn't actively being done.

I even got to host lunch hour in my office one day. I got to show everyone how I'm nursing a blue hyacinth back to life, I circulated around Summer Program photos, and we played clips from the show Friends on my computer. It was like a picnic.
