Greater Milwaukee Area

Wisconsin State Employees Union (AFSCME Council 24) catch-all local for workers in a four-county Milwaukee area. Our present-day membership is mostly clerical, mostly female, at least 40-60% people of color. I'm proud they trust me with this office in these perilous times.

On The Interwebz

As a volunteer sysadmin, I wield the mighty Mop-and-Bucket of administratorship, trying to keep the damage down to a minimum and make the world's biggest reference project better than it is now.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

One of those people you don't see, who keeps a middling-sized government office running.

Wherever The Mood Takes Me

Writing, editing, re-writing, non-fiction (especially book, game, film and TV reviews), journalism: whatever puts food on the table and more books on the shelves.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Evaluate, appraise, buy, price, sort, shelve, and sell books; former branch manager of the world's first used-book store in an airport. (I'm proud to say I've never sold my boss a review copy in my life, as it would be unethical on my part.)

I chopped and sold barbecued pork shoulder; I was a janitor; I ran a high-speed electronic copying system; I was assistant to the County Judge; I was the Democratic nominee for the Tennessee General Assembly (70th District) in 1974; I dispatched taxis; I bused tables and washed dishes; I was office manager for a small university program; I was executive.
