Job Updates

04 Topic: work
 

I’m now in a different division, heading up an awesome group. We design mobile, desktop, web, and TV apps so it’s been a blast getting to learn about some of these devices.

On other news, and to toot my own horn, I was promoted to VP. How crazy is that?

Tom Cruise Sighting

21 Topic: work
 

tom cruiseI spent all day avoiding the madness on campus due to Tom Cruise’s appearance. Alas, I was not completely successful.

I had a meeting with Finance in a room on the first floor of our building. I still don’t know my way around too well but was able to locate the conference room. Except that the hallway was blocked by some big burly bodyguards. I told them I needed to get through since I had a meeting to get to. They told me no one could go past that point. I then see this super short guy (Tom Cruise) with a much taller woman (Katie Holmes) walking alongside an even shorter guy (our CEO).

Once they were safely inside the server room, I tried again.

“I really need to get through. I’m trying to get to a room that’s right in this hallway”

“Hm-Hmm. What’s the name of the room?”

“Uh. Studfinder?”

Insert laugh track here. Then repeat.

Luckily, some PR person was there and she pointed out that the room did in fact exist and that it was just down the hallway.

Last Day at Work

26 Topic: work
 

Wow! After 5.5 years, today was my last day at work. They threw me a super nice goodbye party and it was hard not to cry when saying goodbye to the team.

I now have two weeks of down time before starting at my new job. Hopefully I’ll be able to relax.

Work and More Work

20 Topic: complaining, work
 

Ugh, I’m still at work. And I thought things were getting better earlier this week. At least I’m done with all my hiring until July (I hope that’s true). My team grew from 7 to 18 people in the past 4 months. It’s been nuts! Now I need to get all the new people up to speed so I’ll probably still be MIA for a couple more weeks.
