Remember the 5-9, not just the 9-5!

Me: (Joins a conference call) Someone on call: “Hey, how are you?” Me: “Good” Also Me: (pondering if I just lied or not) What did “Good” mean for that day? Let’s review the last 24hr: 12:05 – 12:30 AM – kid diaper change, make a bottle, feed, rock, back in bed 12:30 – 4 AM – sleep 4:05 – 4:30 AM – kid diaper change, make a bottle, feed, rock, back in bed 4:30 – 7 AM – sleep 7:05 – 7:30…

TLDR: Reflection + Pain = Progress

TLDR: Reflection + Pain = Progress

Reflection:

Been presenting ideas lately and having some tough conversations as of late and feeling pretty defeated from it…BUT I am however reminded that the improvement does not come without a certain degree of failure.

Pain:

Without a healthy cycle of debate to review your goals and decisions it is tough to see if your plans and ideas can stand against criticism or not. It may very well…

Communications during coronavirus and a socially distant remote workforce

In these times with #coronavirus and #socialdistancing in the workplace I am learning and struggling to some personal conclusions. Perhaps you can relate or have advice as well.

The best way you can possibly make sure to address critical business effectively and directly with your colleagues or customers is to speak as closely and directly as you can to your audience.

If you can’t be in person…

Enterprise Website Consolidation: What I Did, and Why You Should

When you are a responsible party concerning your companies’ websites, many challenges come up along the way. And one of the toughest challenges I have faced in my career supporting enterprise architecture was working with business partners to make an enterprise decision over an easy one.

The Problem:Over the course of weeks, my discovery revealed 25 separate websites across 5 different content…

Need A Quick CSS Override On Just One Page Via JavaScript?

Need A Quick CSS Override On Just One Page Via JavaScript?

Found this to work really well for a WordPress custom theme where the only option I had was to drop an override via a header/footer plugin option:

var ref= window.location.pathname; var search="/youruniquepagelink/"; if (ref.indexOf(search) > -1) { let myElements = document.querySelectorAll(".your-class"); for (let i = 0; i

Background for this post: I was recently working through some summer cleanup in the garage and unearthed what I had discovered as my binder box. As I began to take one last pass through these papers before a final recycling place it gave me pause to reflect and to share to those who have seen things change over time.

It seems like it is now so long ago that had just found the passion in computer science and began my journey during my tenure at ETSU. Looking back on it now I can definitely say I am thankful for all of the highs and lows I experienced: showing excellence in some areas, showing vulnerabilities in others and growing to learn, and above all the experience to collaborate and begin to understand what would eventually come daily teamwork. I can also way with great certainty that I am THRILLED in how far we have came in automation since my graduating class was sent forth: half of our work could have been in a run book, and our virtuals could have been speedy in the cloud! 🙂

Though a lot of the concepts may be refreshed or different my overall discipline to consume and learn new things has still held to this day. I definitely want to thank all of my instructors, collegiate colleagues and alum that helped me to push through to the end! I am most definitely better for it and will never forget all my memories (and sometimes late night studies) that brought me to where I am today.

Enjoy the collage! #memories

and of course, farewell to my days of binders and handwritten pages that became my foundation for the corporate universe! #ETSU #GoBucs #Binders

I think the only thing that was harmful in this experience was to unearth how time has flown by and that my age is definitely a few versions past the original release! 🙂
