Weekend Recap: Filling the Time

Trail_Walk_With_Sesame

On Tuesday, I hosted a virtual happy hour for one of my teams at work. I had everyone fill out a survey of silly / interesting questions ahead of time, then we guessed who gave which answer. It was a lot of fun! One of the questions was, “If you could have any superpower, what would it be?” Whenever I’ve been asked this question in the past, my answer has always been, “the ability to freeze time.” In the last few years, I have found myself acutely aware of how limited my time is. There is so much I want to …

Isolation Diaries, Days 6-13: Peloton + Puppy

Sesame_Snoozing_During_Conference_Call

Today is day 13 for me of self-isolation. Eagle County, where my mountain house is, was a hotspot for COVID19 because of all the people flying into Vail / Beaver Creek from all over the world. So right after my last visit there, the Colorado Department of Public Health asked anyone who had been to Eagle County to self-isolate for 7-10 days. I wasn’t too bothered by the announcement, as I was planning to do that anyway, seeing how dire things were getting… but that didn’t mean isolation was easy. The first few days were pretty tough. There are so …

Weekend Recap: Last Day of Freedom

Empty_Grouse_Mountain_Lift

Weekend of March 13-15 Wow, things have really changed quite a bit in the last week. I started quarantining on Sunday and don’t plan to leave my house except for groceries until this is all over. It probably won’t make sense to do just “weekend recaps” anymore… perhaps I’ll get back to blogging randomly throughout the week? TBD. But for now, how about I recap my last days of freedom before I started staying home? I was in Atlanta for work on Tuesday and Wednesday, then worked from home all day Thursday. As you can imagine, things were blowing up, …

Weekend Recap: Skiing is the New Golf

Pwc_Takes_A_Break_Snowcat_Powder_Mountain

This week, I took three days off work to head to Utah with some coworkers for a ski boondoggle. I haven’t taken a true vacation in so long (some time off at Christmas, but otherwise my last vacation was Vienna a year ago). With all the stress I’ve been under, it was definitely much needed! I flew into SLC on Tuesday morning, after some meetings got moved around and I needed to be on the ground by 1pm. I started driving from the airport to my boss’ townhouse in Eden, UT, but ended up having to pull over multiple times for various …

Weekend Recap: Friends Make Life Better

Zino_Lobster_Risotto

This weekend was a little bit hectic, but much better than last! I landed home from Florida (where I was traveling for work) at noon on Friday, and had a deluge of calls and meetings the second I landed. My day ended with a few meetings downtown, and a bit of fun stuff, too. The women’s professional book club I started at my office met from 3pm-5pm, and this month, we read Kim Scott’s Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity. This is one of the best business books I’ve ever read!! So much of it resonated so strongly with …
