Here is a bonus picture of my colleagues from my company who attended the meeting in San Diego last week. That's about half our wonderful company. (I figure the pic is ok to post as I just downloaded it off our twitter feed.). I'm the one third from the left. For some reason I look really short and my face looks really fat! Pretty sure I'm not that short or fat-faced in real life (though, who knows!). Actually the picture looks very odd, proportions of some of the others are off too, weird. Also note that I am the only one wearing Brikenstocks! Ha! I have about a billion pairs of them - and to be fair those are a pretty darned fancy pair!!

I think it might be partly the lighting in the pictures - though I am in a constant battle between the sun and my hair colour, so maybe it was a little lighter back in May when the MFP pic is from. (I really need to change that picture). I like it darker, the sun constantly bleaches it, I get it coloured! I guess I should wear a hat when I'm walking - I'd probably save a lot of money at the hairdresser...

Yes we are critical, thinking about it, I'd never say that about anybody else! But my face does look odd...

I have a math degree - I love math. I'm actually in IT though (also have a computer science degree) - healthcare IT specifically, which is a very small incestuous subset of IT. I've worked in the UK, Australia and the US and work with many of the same people. There are actually people who live in the same city as me in Australia who I only ever see overseas at our meetings. Crazy! I work for a very small American consultancy - we all work from home. Most awesome job I've ever had - I love all the people I work with - they are some of the best in the world at what we do.

Me in HR makes me laugh - I'd be the single worst HR person in the world! Give me a nice predictable computer over people any day!

Thanks!
