It was my vacation week, but there is always something going on:
Completed five technical interviews with candidates for new testers that I’ll likely mentor
Completed several courses that I’ve been neglecting for quite some time
Finally put some extra work into my DIY guitar amp - and figured out that I’ve made some huge mistakes in schematic (but it’s still progress, parts are cheap so I can always start from scratch)
This week feels like it has had more losses than wins…but on reflection, there have been a few wins!
We started to introduce personas to the team and the early noises are positive
I received some Sauce Swag in the post from SauceLabs
I had a really encouraging chat with @berenvd and co. from the RiskStorming team, looking forward to some future collaboration both at work and with the Testing Peers
Introduced the Three Amigos at work, and while it was hard work, I think that we are getting through to the team as we work to become a more collaborative group
I’m still trying to get over the fact that I am having 1:1s with a manager who seems to actually be able to run a good 1:1
