Women at work and their tips, challenges, advice, complaints, and experiences

I don't know about you, but I was just starting to get sick of the rainy, wintery days in my area when I noticed a very slight shift toward longer days.  Finally!  Where I live, in the Pacific Northwest, we don't have the shortest summers, but we also don't have super long ones.  There's no real use even peeking at the gardening catalogs until it's almost St. Patrick's Day, unless you're a truly hardcore gardener who is willing to figure out cool weather crops, plants that can survive a good soaking all season long (and potential snowfall as well).  Frankly, it can be a bit depressing.
