Had fun with my peeps this afternoon fielding two teams in a tug of war event as part of the @citymississauga United Way Campaign Kick Off! It was a great day to help raise funds for a great cause. #EngineersOverTheLine #DevEngers #WeAreUnited

We kicked off our United Way Employee Pledge Drive today! Thanks to everyone who came out to have a little fun and support a good cause. Win-Win in my books. Thanks as well to all of our volunteers who helped make it happen! #pledgepartyplay #unitedway #fundraisingfun #locallove

A definite WFH perk. These two lap leaches (term of endearment) require me to take a break at lunch and get outside for some fresh air and exercise. They may not see it as win-win though as they do not get a reciprocal perk for a lap nap afterwards ๐Ÿ˜‚ #BeautyDayForAWalk #LapDogs

In March, I flipped our fridge calendar forward to September; partly to avoid being reminded of things, but mostly to be optimistic about when we might need a calendar again. Today our reality catches up with our calendar. Hereโ€™s hoping itโ€™s good! #marchbreakisover
