I forget if I posted about this, but Google contacted me a while back asking for my resume for a systems admin position. I don’t know what on my linked in profile would make them think I’d be interested in that, but still mildly flattered, because, you know, Google. I really have the best job in the world right now though, as far as work/life balance goes. Yes, I’m a little distracted working at home, but I think I’m more distracted in the office on Wednesdays. Everyone has to go in on Wednesdays so that’s when we have all of our in person meetings, events and hallway gatherings. Work doesn’t happen.
Fortunately I haven’t been too busy. I have just enough work that there’s something for me to do every day, but not even to keep me 100% occupied. Been reading code and taking training. My new team is super nice. So glad I got this assignment and not ISAAC again. The past few weeks have made me feel really grateful for everything I learned in RUBY and ISAAC. Once you’re level 2, people expect you to know things and I know the things, it’s a nice place to be. Plus I’m learning new things like Maven, Jenkins, Rest services. I wish I was actually doing mobile client development, but there’s no work for that right now. Did I mention I’m working on ATT’s Mark the Spot app? You all should download it for your phones.
I finished our taxes. We’re getting a big refund this year. Mostly because we made way less money this year + Owen. What’s interesting though is that even though we made a lot less money and we added a member to our family, we actually saved a whole $1000 more in 2014 than 2013. Go us! I think it’s time I buy some new clothes since I’ve been wearing the same 3 outfits over and over. I was thinking about signing up at StitchFix since I don’t really have time to shop, but the clothes I’ve seen from them are so boring. Maybe I need some boring clothes though.
For sure I will be cutting my hair. It’s everywhere, everywhere! I am constantly picking hairs off of Owen, my clothes, my food. It’s gotten really long and he pulls at it, tries to eat it and spits up on it. I’m done. Just need to find time to go to the hair salon…
Congrats on the savings, and on Google contacting you! That’s awesome. :) Regarding the hair – post-pregnancy hormones are a bitch on the hair, and you’ll end up losing most of the hair you had the luck to retain during pregnancy. Just something to keep in mind before you take the plunge…er… snip. Low ponytails + hair buns were my best friends after I had both sproglets!
