A job's been left behind

So, for those of you who don't know, after working there for 9.5 years, I quit Google in Feb 2020 and have just hit my 2 months off-work anniversary! An excited me, the first Tuesday I was off work - after having woken up without an alarm at 5:30am! I quit the full time software engineering job so that I could move closer towards working in the education and/or women's empowerment space - two areas I've been working on, on the side, for the last 19 years. I've always known that I wanted to work on these issues full time at some point in life. But why did it take me so long? One of the problems was that I didn't know what exactly I wanted to do in that space (I still don't, I've done a bit of many things I'm very interested in over the years) but I thought I needed to know an exact plan of action before I could quit the known career. I had to learn over the last many months at my job that I had to free myself from the giant that was occupying al

A meandering post about a bunch of stuff and a date I can't quite forget

We got a brand new 2021 all electric Nissan Leaf a few weeks ago. We are in the future now. For those of you who know me, this must come as a surprise!

He jumped at the opportunity of being able to drive an all electric, brand new car - which, given how his fate changed after meeting me, was not to be. Until he became a Nissan employee, that is... So, that's how we, the owners of a 2004 Accord and a 2006 Mazda 3, end up with a 2021 Leaf! My first thought, after he read about this perk was that we could use an aux cable! None of our cars have ever had an aux input port. We've tried to use the aux -> radio frequency converter rather unsuccessfully. But,

I'm rushing to write this, since the last time I was inspired to write was when the Georgia runoff results were announced and 2021 seemed to have gotten off to a great start. And, by the time I sat down to writing, the afternoon of that day happened and I was glued to the TV for a couple of days in disbelief, heart sinking. I have discovered that I like to write when things are going well, even though what I want to write about is about the last 6 months. But today is a new day. With Biden + Harris being inaugurated, it definitely is a good day. And here is my long due update on my life, my universe and my everything. Fair questions at this point are: Have I been bored out of my wits after having quit my Google job? Have I been anxious and going crazy and driving the DH nuts? And a super fair question: Have I done anything other that binge watching netflix all this while? I'm happy to report that I am doing well and that I am exceptionally, extremely, exceedingly happy about ha
