New desk tchotchke

nobody@vox.com(Krissy) — Wed, 28 May 2008 16:17:03 -0700

Mena found this little green scooter toy in her office. I added the lizard, as he was just laying on the tchotchke shelf before now. I wonder where he's off to in such a hurry?

scooter!

Coworkers: Raise your hand if you were there when we played the "What's in Mena's office?" game! Good times.

Duty Calls

nobody@vox.com(Krissy) — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:40:02 -0700

I think the cat's out of the bag to most of you, should I just come out and say it: I'm moving back to San Francisco.

With friends & coworkers like these...

Six Apart, a company that I love dearly and have worked for since the summer of 2005, has lured me back. At first it was a difficult decision (anyone who knows me knows I'm exceedingly slow and methodical about making up my mind, and usually unwilling to change it) but I realized - after I got through my stubbornness and anxiety - that this is a great thing!! Special thanks to my boss Alex for being so supportive and also to my good friends who helped me weigh the pros and...well there really weren't that many cons. I'm extremely excited and grateful to have a wonderful job and so many awesome friends and coworkers to come back to!

My feet, not on the ground

On a practical note, I'll be looking for a one bedroom apartment (or large studio) during the first half of April with the goal of being moved back by early May, so please send me any leads you may have! It breaks my heart a little to leave Austin because I am and always will be a devout Texan, but Jetblue's direct flights from SFO to AUS starting on May 1st should help me cope. And should give my Austin friends no excuse to not visit me.

So there you have it. Life is unpredictable. Life is good!

2008 in Pictures

It's been a busy, unpredictable, delightful and confusing year so far. I'm lucky to have wonderful friends and coworkers and no shortage of delicious things to eat and drink.

A Week in San Francisco

nobody@vox.com(Krissy) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:06:44 -0800

I've been MIA here and on my other blog, and it's because I just got back from San Francisco for an intense week of work. Fortunately I work with some of the best people I've ever met, so it's not all work, as you can see from this photo (stolen from Kimmie!) of us crammed into the photo booth at our holiday Six Aparty.

It's An Austin Meetup, Y'all

nobody@vox.com(Krissy) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 15:18:26 -0800

Our very first Austin Voxer meetup is scheduled, and you're invited:

Austin Voxer & Six Apart Meetup
Wednesday, January 16th
7pm
at Spiderhouse Cafe
2908 Fruth Street, Austin TX, 512.480.9562 (map)

Spiderhouse

All current and future Voxers, bloggers and users of Six Apart's blogging tools are invited! As your representative from Six Apart, I will have some Vox goodies to hand out. I'll probably find a spot for all of us outside, unless it's too rainy or cold (ha!) in which case we'll try to huddle together inside.

A few of you noted you couldn't make it on Wednesday, and I'm sorry we won't see you! But hopefully we can make this a regular meetup and we'll see you next time.

Please comment to this post to RSVP to let me know you're coming!

Technology at work for me

nobody@vox.com(Krissy) — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 13:30:53 -0700

Rudy & Steve, smiling

Rudy and Steve logged in for a quick video chat! They made my day.

The biggest thing I miss about being in the office is the camaraderie with my coworkers (and their dogs) so this was a real treat. Camera-derie, if you will. Now I want to buy a webcam!

No Office Dogs = :(

nobody@vox.com(Krissy) — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 17:52:17 -0700

I miss the office dogs!

Rudy, Maddy, Mocha, Bliss, Pista, Ellie...I didn't see any of them at work this week. I guess they're all enjoying a well-earned vacation. I hope they come back next week, because I miss them.
