I promise I’m not a food blogger, nor am I aspiring to be one, but I like to take photos of tasty food when I’m out, and I was out to eat with coworkers a few times this week, and so… this week’s update is going to include some food photos. 😂
Monday was overall a pretty normal day, not much to report.
Tuesday through Friday I had a coworker from Sunnyvale in town, for some internal meetings on tool consolidation and workflows. This meant a) a lot of our time was taken up in meetings, and b) you guessed it, some food!
Tuesday evening a local coworker and I took our Sunnyvale counterpart out to eat at The 208 House, one of my local favorites. After a long series of discussions during the day, it was great to relax and talk shop without as much pressure to settle on anything specific.
Wednesday we had a team lunch celebrating the successful launch of a product at Seasons Gastropub. It was a fun time to catch up with coworkers and celebrate wins, and enjoy a meal together!
Then in the evening I caught up with a vendor at The 208 House again (yes, twice in two days), and ended up spending an enjoyable evening both discussing upcoming project needs, and chatting about family, faith, etc.
Thursday there were no big meals (which was fine - I needed to have a day off!), but instead we had intern interviews! I helped with cultural interviews for some of our existing interns, evaluating how they would fit into our org were we to offer them a full-time position. It was interesting getting to hear more from some individuals that I haven’t had time to really meet prior to now, and also observe how other coworkers ask interview questions.
Friday I worked from home in the morning, then, along with another local coworker, had a farewell lunch with our Sunnyvale colleague at Thyme. My afternoon was pretty light, and with that, my work week was done!
Saturday I spent most of the day working on yardwork (thanks to the rain, there was plenty of mowing/trimming to do), and then relaxed in the evening while watching some YouTube videos that had caught my attention.
Sunday morning started with Divine Service (which I’ve been attending on Saturdays throughout July), along with some brief shopping.
And with that, I’m once again done with my update, and preparing for the week ahead!
