I worked on a distributed team before and had my doubts about going fully remote. It was a lot easier and nicer than I expected. That was two years ago. Now, teams that can work remotely are. After the initial churn, you may now even be in a routine. Do you like it? Do you…

What comes next
Before I started grad school, I wrote to myself about what I was hoping to learn and become at the end of the program and would check in every semester (or so) to reflect on how it went. Three years later, here I am again starting something new. Any teacher’s pet knows that the real…
Week in the life, Day 7
Yay! Last day. I’m definitely ready for this writing exercise to be over. As much as its been nice getting to write again (it has!) it’s also time consuming to remember and write about each day in a timely manner. Last post! I’m not sure how representative this week is because I think I had more planned…

Week in the life: Day 2
Not really convinced that this is a great idea, but thought I’d at least carry out a work day. I can’t imagine this being entertaining to anyone. The summary of yesterday was: I went to work and then I went to bed. And if you are on some sort of reconnaissance mission, I should note that…
Week in the life, Day 1
I have been thinking about writing a lot recently. Because I have realized with sadness that a a month has gone by without so much as a howdy-do. But as I sat on my couch this evening, I also thought that I didn’t feel like I had anything to share. Sometimes I feel exhausted from…
Work metaphors
I didn’t make it in time for your Friday 5, but I have 8 drawings to maybe make up for it. Since working I’ve started hearing the same phrases over and over again and I couldn’t help thinking about visualizing them the other day. These are apparently the things I do at work.
