My cozy work space
Several years ago, I was living in Toronto in a cozy one-bedroom apartment and commuting to work every day. By then I had a regular computer desk, I don’t even remember where I got it from, and an Ikea chair. It was all good. I was working at the office most of the day and…

Philly
I don’t know if you can tell, but fall is my favourite season. đ This one is from 2023, close to Philly, when I was visiting friends. It’s another one from my Instagram. The weather has finally cooled down around here. The amazing colours are everywhere. The best time of the year (I would say…

Inside Automatticâs Collective Brain
Can you imagine working on a company where e-mail is not a thing? Weird, eh? I thought so too in the beginning.

London, Baby
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yeah, I am almost one month late, I know. I am going to go fully cliche and say I don’t know where the time went. I mean, it was Christmas 2 days ago and now it’s almost February. Things got a little crazy at work right before the holidays (good crazy) and…

Calm after the storm
I’m sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for my ride to the Tulum Airport. I’m already missing the AMAZING week I just had. I have mentioned multiple times here that working remotely is the best decision I have ever made. I would never, by choice, go back to working in an office. But those two…

Time to play
During the month of January, I will be posting (tentatively) one post every day as part of the #bloganuary challengeToday’s Prompt: Do you play in your daily life? What says âplaytimeâ to you? I do. My inner child is very much alive. I play video games, I play board games, I like building Lego and puzzles,…
