March Coffee Date

March 7, 2015 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC41 Comments

I’m so excited to link up with three fun ladies, Coco, Lynda and Deborah (Got 2 Run 4 Me, Fitness Mom Wine Country and Confessions of a Mother Runner) again for the March coffee date. For me, it’s a tea date because I don’t drink coffee. πŸ™‚ Thanks, ladies for hosting – I love this linkup! 

The Ultimate Coffee Date

If we were having tea today, I’d tell you…

  • How frustrated I am at blogger bad behavior. In addition to discovering a couple of bad mannered bloggers in my Friday Five linkup that I cohost, I learned that one blogger plagiarized another blogger recently. I was so disgusted by this behavior – it’s so disappointing that someone would do that. I know this happens all the time but these two bloggers were in a blogging support group together – talk about ironic. I’m glad that in my inner circle, things like this don’t happen! 
  • How I’m excited about so many fun things to celebrate this spring. Races and trips and visits from friends abound this spring and I’m READY! I won’t talk about the weather because I think I’ve exhausted all my weather related complains. I’ll just keep looking at my list of things I’ll miss about winter and acknowledge that winter will end, eventually. 
  • How much I’m loving my job lately. I don’t really talk about work much on the blog but in short, I’m a lawyer turned consultant who focuses on talent issues facing the legal industry – particularly the lack of women and minorities. In the course of my work, I get to think a lot about best practices and what law firms and individuals can do to help support a more diverse industry. I LOVE IT and know just how lucky I am to focus on things that I love. 
  • How I love weekends! Even though I work from home, I still enjoy a good weekend – I love quiet mornings, church on Sunday and all the fun that comes along with those things. I do NOT losing an hour of sleep. Boo to that but yay to more sunlight and spring coming soon! 

Have a great weekend and thanks again to the Coffee Date hosts! [Tweet “bad blogger behavior, fun spring things and loving weekends on this month’s coffee date!”]

What would you tell me if we were having tea? 

Thanks again to the hosts! Happy Saturday!

    I do not understand how someone could steal content from another and feel good about it. Sickening.
    As a pro photographer I see that happen all the time with photographers too. Stealing someone’s photos and claiming them as their own. Disgusting.

    That was some kind of drama in the group!! Glad it is resolved. You don’t talk about your job too much but it does sound really interesting and I’d love to hear more about it. Did you say Spring? Where? Thanks for linking up with us for the coffee/tea day always great to have you!

    Oh man blogger drama is awful. It still always surprises me. We have such great communities; why risk that??

    And your job sounds great!! I love hearing about diversity work. So important is every industry! I’d probably ask a ton of questions about what you do. πŸ™‚

      Yeah, we’re pretty flexible and especially with newer folks but when we have folks who link up every week and never follow our guidelines it gets frustrating. Have a great weekend!

    I admit, I was pretty upset about the whole thing. I’ve done a bunch this morning to disassociate myself from said blogger as much as possible.

    Glad to hear the job thing is working out so well for you!

    How does someone even plagiarize a blog? What do they do, copy and paste? That is so weird and creepy. I love love Spring, yay the time change is here and I am already a morning person, even more so now. Happy dance:)

    OMG wow I can’t believe they would plagiarize another blogger! I don’t even like to blog if I don’t have anything new to report? The blogging community has been super nice to me since I joined last year. We’ll if we had tea I would talk about how stressed I am with moving! I know it is for the best to head back home but dealing with putting my house on the market to saying goodbye to a job I absolutely love is hard.u am going to miss so many people.

      i know – it was pretty awful. i know you are kinda sad about your move but the best thing is you’ll still have all those friendships – you’ll just make some new friends, too! (spoken from an air force brat who moved every 2-4 years as a kid).

    Wow, plagiarism? Really? That’s terrible. I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t like Daylight a Savings Time either, neither in the spring or fall. It just confuses my internal clock so badly and takes me a couple weeks to adjust.

    Yes, that bad blogger issue was very upsetting at the end of last week but I honestly don’t know if the bad blogger in question GETS it yet. We shall see.

    Have a great week!
