Life
Saw my beloved Petunia, which was wonderful. Hung out with friends. Managed to buy socks.
Work
Busy, so so busy. Because I’m on PST, I’ve been starting work at 7am every morning to make my morning meetings which has been a bit brutal. It’s pretty amazing to me that I can be working this much, this busy, this exhausted and still be generally happy because I love my job and adore my team.
I have more thoughts about being a manager, and I’m kinda excited to get back to blogging in April and start sharing them. Also doing some thinking about the two talks I have coming up in May.
Spent most of the weekend at the Women Who Code event here in Seattle. Got to hang out with friends and meet a bunch of Technically Speaking readers – awesome!
Media
Finished After I Do (loved it), now in the middle of Pretty Much Screwed.

A new edition of Technically Speaking is out.
