March madness
Willow’s first March break was an awesome one!
I don’t often drink pop, but when I do…
What is your favorite drink?
Blue Sky – Cherry vanilla soda
2023 – A Year In Review
Another year around the sun and a million more pics of my daughter and dogs.
2023 finished, with a start. I made the tough decision to leave my amazing Roofr family and start a new adventure at Searchspring.
Willow started school in September (Junior Kindergarten), which is insane.. because she was just born a year ago… Right?!?
I turned 40 and celebrated with my (literal) lifelong best friends in the Bahamas. It was an amazing trip and I couldn’t have come up with a better way to spend the occasion.
Lots of other happenings throughout the year, but I’m a bit low on energy right now – As our family caught COVID for Christmas 😂 So I’ll just do a picture drop now.
See you again….
Friday marked my last day at Roofr. A fantastic company with fantastic people.
..Rewind 2 years. There I am, logging into LinkedIn for my bi-annual check-in.
I go to clear my backlog of DM’s. Messages that were sent MONTHS ago.. except for one. It was sent mere minutes ago.
The uncanny timing tells me it’s some sort of signal from the universe.
I was very happy where I was (Automattic). I wasn’t looking for another job, but hey, at the very least I can see where my skills stand. So I agreed to meet with the recruiter.
It’s a great conversation. The descriptions remind me of my days at FreshBooks.. which in itself is probably too good to be true. It seems like an interesting opportunity, but I was happy where I was. Even still, I agree to chat with the CEO.
WOW…. This guy is great, he actually understands the critical points of customer support. It’s not just lip service either, he really gets it.
Fast forward to today. Richy (the CEO) has been an amazing person to work for. The level of care and support he gives our customer support department is second to none. That level of care and support also extends to his staff, of every level in the company.
The company is filled with incredible people. People that I will keep close contact with for years and years ahead.
The Next Step
So what’s next? A new adventure… what that entails, we will see!
Spooktober
Any last trace of summer weather is gone, which means you can expect a frown on my face for the next 7 months.
A highlight for me though, was getting new internet. A new provider did fiber to the premise on my street and I am happy to report a consistent 1600mbps down and 1100mbps upload. With pings for everything so low, they’re almost non-existent. And of course, zero-line jitter. Even with the cold outside weather, it warmed my soul the day my line got turned on.
Despite my hatred, Willow and the dogs have been loving fall. Cooler temps for the dogs mean they can go farther/longer. As for Willow, she’s been loving jumping in piles of leaves and everything Halloween.
