I’ve been thinking more about my post the other day building relationships and how I can apply it to my work. When I wrote that post and was thinking about it I was coming more from the personal side. Building relationships with people I meet or interact with. Why not look at it from aContinue reading “More thoughts on relationship building”

Feast or Famine
When I was running my own business it seemed work always came in peaks and valleys. Helping people get online was always my favourite part of it. Having to worry about making sure I had the next project to work on when one was finished, I hated. Not knowing when I would be paid forContinue reading “Feast or Famine”
Hospital stay
I’m just getting settled in for what is my only night stay in the hospital. For getting close to two weeks now I’ve had a very sore throat making it very hard to swallow and sleep. Lack of sleep tends to have a way for making everything even worse than it is too. During thisContinue reading “Hospital stay”
A Proud and Grateful Son
From a very young age my Mother and I were good friends. We had four years where I was the only child and we grew a strong bond. Even though she was really almost a child herself she spent time with me, read to me, played with me, and talked with me. I’m convinced that anythingContinue reading “A Proud and Grateful Son”
Things Not Working? Change It Up!
Last week was the first week at Automattic that I was starting to feel stressed and a little burnt out. This weekend I took sometime to try to figure out why, because nothing had changed. Reflecting back it seems like it was a combination of things. Luckily all the things are in my own controlContinue reading “Things Not Working? Change It Up!”
Winter Arrived
Over the past two days we’ve received our first taste of winter this year. There has been a bunch of snow and school has been cancelled the last two days. Tuesday was blizzard like conditions so there was lots of wind and blowing snow. It’s made me even more thankful again to have a jobContinue reading “Winter Arrived”
Barcelona Team Meetup
I was extremely fortunate enough to spend last week getting to meet and work with my new team in Barcelona Spain. It really was an invaluable experience. Being so new to the company I really appreciate being able to build in person connections with them. I’m a pretty introverted person but I really triedContinue reading “Barcelona Team Meetup”
Joining Automattic
This post has been rattling around inside me for some time now so I think it’s about time that I get to writing. It’s been just about a month since I first started working full time at Automattic but the whole process started long before that. I’ve been using WordPress to build websites for quiteContinue reading “Joining Automattic”
Thank You
This year I feel incredibly blessed for many reasons, and I’ll likely get into a more detailed post closer to the end. For now I just wanted to say thank you specifically to Pam one of my amazing new team mates. Of course no Christmas Eve would be complete without one last trip to grab someContinue reading “Thank You”
So little time, so much work
Currently I’m in my third week of working two jobs and so far things are going pretty well, but I don’t think it’s anything I could handle long term. Working all day then going home and working some more makes for long days. Throw in working close to full days on the weekends as wellContinue reading “So little time, so much work”
