The Now: November 23, 2022

This morning, I set up my out of office message to start auto-replying at 4pm. In just a few hours, I get to log off work and enjoy an extra long weekend with my family. It's been wonderful watching the kiddo enjoy her grandparent daycare this week. They've taken her out to a lot of cool places. (I want to go to a trampoline park!) I've enjoyed the random "Hi, mom!" pop ins that I get while working. I'm grateful that my library lets me work from "home" like this on occasion. It makes work/life balance so much easier.

Here's what I've been working on.
  1. Website Usability Tests - I spent the bulk of my week reviewing recordings for timing and to make sure my notes were complete. I also started planning out the report I need to write as well as the next steps in the project. While I did not get nearly enough student testers, I have so much work already that it doesn't matter. Main lessons : everyone wants a better nav bar and we need to add some missing information. I also learned that I need far fewer testers in general. That should make our next round easier to complete.
  2. Next Semester Prep - The Spring 2023 semester will be here before we know it. I planned out my calendar and started a list of projects that I want to focus on. Spoiler alert - they're all basically continuations of my current projects. I just need to figure out how to fit them all around daycare closures. It seems like there are a lot more full week closures in the spring. 
  3. Family Time - I may have been working from "home," we've been able to enjoy family time with the in-laws. We've visited a few fun new things with the kiddo and have all played on the living room carpet together. Making dinner is usually a team effort and we've had some great conversations around the table.
