I'm a QA Analyst working remotely in sunny (today, anyway) Chicago, IL!

  • 6:50am: alarm goes off.
  • 7:00am: start working. I spend the first hour in support, responding to member emails and inquiries
  • 8:00am-10:00am: meetings, support bug triage, logging in Github, testing existing bugs or testing new products. In a perfect world I'd be able to turn off notifications and dive in to specific activities, but in reality there are lots of meetings that start as soon as I'm in the flow or questions about how things work or jokes I absolutely must share right now.
  • ~10:00ish: morning walk. I try to do roughly a 3k lap around the park (while playing Pokemon Go)
  • after walk, I revisit support triage for anything that came in during the morning, and continue on whatever I was working on earlier
  • anywhere from noon-2pm: lunch break, where I usually take a longer walk (5-7k)
  • 3:00: sign off for the day, work on personal projects for a bit or go to the pool!
