Five Things: Stepping Up

1. Work Out with the old boss in with the new, for now. After my old boss announced he was leaving in January he went to radio silence. I’ve been told he was around until May.. but I didn’t see hide nor hair of him and he certainly wasn’t checking in on my progress on projects. I guess it’s a…

Five Things: Sparkly!

1. Work/Programming New year new project. At the end of last year we realized that a bit of software we hadn’t tried to use since JUNE had died. It turns out that Google deprecated the API that bit of software used. I didn’t write the software, I just inheirited it. That said.. it came to me as a compiled stand…

Friday Five: All baby.. all the time

1. Work/Programming I’m tying up the last of the loose ends. Today is my last work at home day before maternity leave officially starts. I think I’ve handed off all my projects.. but I also think there’s quite a bit of “things I do under the radar” that there’s really no one else to cover for me. I’m sure the…
