In many ways, it feels like my tour in the tech bubble spun me around like a roundabout and tossed me out into the workspace. I've landed now in a non-profit a mere 800 years in the making. Some of those lessons are proving valuable in this new adventure - and some just don't resonate.

Either way, I'm picking my pop and snacks and enjoying days when I can settle in for my impact work in a Star Wars T-shirt maimed by orange cat hair. (Working at home, there's always enough salmon).
