Weekly Wins 9-27-2024

Anyone have good wins this week? Work going well? Pass a test? Pet do something particularly cute? (We require pictures of said pet though… sorry, I don’t make the rules) Anything you want to celebrate in your life we’re here to celebrate it with you.


Aside from just having another great week at work - I’m counting all my friends in Tampa and generally the southeast US being safe after the storm that came through. I know not everyone is as fortunate and there’s a lot of damage, but I’m celebrating what I can.

Be honest, if someone said “my dog did [super adorable thing]” do you really think there wouldn’t be a call for “dog tax” later? I’m just trying to preempt it.

Mom and I are in Athens, and FIRST Global is doing well.

Both our houses are largely unhurt by the hurricane. My house still doesn’t have power, so my wife has bailed to my mom’s. She’s working on an awesome sewing project with a deadline (no wonder she understands my robot life!), and while the tool battery pack inverter could power her sewing machine for a good while it couldn’t do the iron. So it goes.

I got to assemble a new 3D printer for a friend. It was fun discovering the features and calibrating it. After using cr6-se for 3 years I am amazed how much faster these things got.

Lots of wins for me this week:

  • Got 2 interview calls set up for Monday. Having some job hunt success has helped my stress a bit. Plus my resume got handed off to someone who’s willing to use their connections to help me
  • New member meeting: so many new kids joining the team and I can’t wait to work with them all! A lot are passionate about graphics and awards which makes me so excited
  • PNW Block Party 2024 was a huge success for the team. They got to compete with 2 robots with brand new drive teams. I had a good time seeing the kids have fun while I enjoyed seeing a lot of friends. Even my new boyfriend had a good time visiting the event
