    In news that will surprise no one, we made way too much food for two people. (Turkey, mashed potatoes, roasted onions, glazed carrots, peas, and gravy for dinner!)

    Christmas is time for sweets! An enormous chocolate babka made by the Snook, and Kaiserschmarrn (Tirolean pancake) made by me!

    Protip: when you are cold-emailing a woman on LinkedIn to ask her for advice on interviewing at her employer, make sure you know what her actual title is and don’t just assume she is a recruiter. 🙄


    @anshumalis Not just that! He seems to think I’m a recruiter for TAMs. Like, what?


    Merry Christmas! The turkey is thawed, the babka dough is chilling, and the homemade pumpkin pie is baked. Here’s to quiet time, good food, and Netflix with my best friend… ❤️🎄 https://t.co/8KAk4wdyme

    Almost can’t believe it, but it appears we survived five flights and three weeks in the US without getting infected! We wore masks, limited contact, and avoided crowds wherever possible. I’m sorry to those we didn’t get to see, but I’m really relieved we managed it. 😅 https://t.co/sU5buupOvh

    @PragTob Ha! I won’t get my booster for a month, but hoping for Pfizer so I can follow in your footsteps.

    Once spent a memorable weekend in Loch Lomond 20 years ago. We were directed to take “the ferry” across the loch, which turned out to be a fishing boat driven by a Kiwi. Good times… https://t.co/PeQj4Gt846

    @gilmae Oh no. He hasn’t started that one yet.


    @Amys_Kapers @twilio When does it get cold enough in Perth for gloves!! 😂


    Dragged my jet-lagged self out of bed for an early morning salon appointment. Still tired, but at least I’m red again! It looks like a white Christmas is unlikely, so I’ll have to make do with the frost… 🥶😴 https://t.co/FFZXcmNTkh
