I went to lunch with Megan, Brittany, and Becky at Eggy’s and we had poutine! (One egg over easy, cheese curds, sausage gravy, over fries).

A few months ago the women in Roundarch’s Chicago office got together for lunch at Maison. This isn’t everyone, but most of the ladies in Chicago. The group has grown a lot. When I started you could count the number of women on one hand. I went to the bathroom every day and it was 4-5 days before I ever saw anyone else in the bathroom! Now we’re still outnumbered, but it does feel more balanced.

Some of my coworkers and I had a secret santa gift exchange this week. Yesterday we got together for lunch, ate some pizza, and opened our presents. It was so much fun! We had a suggested spending limit of $10 and everyone was so creative with it. There were some really good gifts. The best had to be Amanda’s gift to Megan. I took a photo of them together at the holiday party last week and Amanda printed it and framed it and gave it to Megan. Ha! Oh, she also cropped Sean out. Sorry Sean!
I received the pie bites press from Ronald and now am committed to making them and bringing them to work! The name I drew was Frank. I don’t know him well but I asked around and found out he enjoys a good beer, so I got him a growler from Revolution Brewing. I hope we do this again next year! Big thanks to Osmaan for organizing!
* On a technical note, Osmaan used Elfster to organize the exchange and it couldn’t have been easier. The site draws the names for you even. And you can anonymously ask your exchange person questions about what they like, if you want.
