Life

Flew back from São Paulo. Managed to get a massage and a hair cut!

Work

First week out of support and in my role. Couple of intense days of 1:1s, then came to Philly for WordCamp US.

Media

Still reading Georgette Heyer, still re-watching Drop Dead Diva – love that show. Still plodding through Thinking Fast and Slow which is interesting but irritatingly self-satisfied.
