Funny how I don’t think I’ve done anything all week until I see these threads.

  • Finished paperwork/admin which should mean something new and exciting in a few weeks. :crossed_fingers:
  • Busy weekend with DIY for the kids rooms. (Lots of flatpack counts as DIY right?)
  • Good progress with writing
  • Ad hoc cross department work on Friday. Was nice to share some of how we approached wikis / internal guides.

I got rid of my old desk and replaced it with a standing desk. I’ve been struggling with back pain and had to improvise a standing desk situation (using books and a riser, moving accessories from room to room). This is a major step up, since I have a dedicated space, always ready to go.

Congrats on making a difference with your new desk, @embo! I hope it helps relieve some of your back pain.

I don’t know who could possibly put you down @heather_reid but send them to me and I will educate them on all your awesomeness.
It’s been such a hectic week my head is still spinning so I’ve only just got round to this.

  • Really enjoyed delivering my 99 minutes workshop on accessibility and had some really nice feedback too
  • Done two bootcamp sessions this week. The first was a drop in and the second was on thinking like a tester, one of my favourites
  • Had a few great conversations on bringing accessibility more to the fore in our company and embedding it in our mission statement
  • Also had a couple of conversations helping people with understanding a11y

A former colleague of mine was made redundant by his employer. They wanted to get rid of ‘exploratory testing’ and have everything automated to ‘test all the things’.

I recommended that he reach out to a fellow colleague in the community. He got an interview, nailed it, and now he has an excellent job at an exciting company.

It really gave me the feels! :slight_smile:

I love this workshop Ady! Loved it so much I attended it twice because I was sure there was more I could learn from you (and there was :grin: )

Solid recommendation and congratulations to this person on landing the new role :tada:
