What changes after two months of no longer being locked in a cubical.

This week marks two months that I have been at my new job (can I call it that still?). In these very quick two months , we set out a rebrand , I’ve wrote a good amount of tests , I am starting to dip my hands into iOS development , which turns out not to be as daunting as it sounds it just takes some practice. I’ve already accomplished so much more it feels like and it feels fantastic.


There are also some pretty rad perks too. Such as working in LoDo( Lower Downtown Denver for all of those that don’t know) , a brand new MacBook Pro , and cool co-workers. But out of all these things nothing compares to the freedom of no cubical. I can’t even begin to tell you how much happier I am now that I can share jokes with my neighboring co-workers , now friends. I never thought it would make that much of a difference , but I never realized how isolating a cubical was. I am forever grateful that iTriage decided to hire me as one of their own. But I can promise that I will be there a long time.

Also! We are hiring. So if you think you're quite adequate with Javascript , iOS Development or Ruby. Holla here.

August in a nutshell

August -

This past month has been more of a whirlwind than anything.Between moving to Denver, settling in, my birthday and getting a new job I haven’t had time to do anything but sleep.


Denver - 
Living in up here has done nothing but make my life better. I like the city life so much more than I could ever imagine. More people , more food, more movies , BETTER SHOPPING. Oh god the mall is so much better up here I can’t even explain to you. ( I live for Lush, and my paychecks go straight from me to Lush , I need help) My apartment up here is much older than my last , but it hasn’t been anything short of awesome. Dobby likes it too so that makes me happy. 






Getting a new Job - 
So , at the beginning of the month I moved to up here and would have never imagined within the same month I would have a different employer. iTriage contacted me at the beginning of the month of a position on their QA team. At my interview I met some of the people that I would be working with and everyone was just so down to earth and chill. Obviously they liked me because they offered me the job here. I now work downtown and ride the light rail into work every day. Oh so city chic. But the light rail is a blog of it’s own, don’t get me started on it. I was rather nervous about switching back to automation after previously leaving my automation position, but a week in to the new job and I couldn’t be happier. 

That’s just a bit of what’s going on in my life and why the hell i had been so absent in the month of August. But now that everything has settled down a bit more and i am getting back into a routine, I will absolutely blog more. 


Keep an eye out for this week because I’ve been given free passes to see a pre-screening of The Maze Runner and I am going to see that tonight! I will let you know what I think. It better be good because I read the book and I fell in love with the book. 

ANYWAY.. now that this is the most unorganized post I must go. Talk to tomorrow most likely!

Life at 5280 Feet

Today is the day that I move to Denver. I am so excited to start this new chapter of my life. Colorado Springs was a nice city, but it really wasn't me. I needed something with a beating pulse to it, not a place that shuts down at 6 pm. On top of the new location I am moving closer to my friends , which I am sure will end up in my blog as we go on our adventures.

As this has been posted on the day that I am actually moving, my life is currently in a small U-Haul on its way north and I am so excited. Minus the fact that I realized I have WAY too many soccer shirts for my own good and I may have a slight t-shirt problem. Regardless I am excited, as you can probably tell because I've literally said excited like 10 times so far.

If you live in or near Denver, let me know cute places to eat. I’m tired of eating the same old chain restaurants. Plus ever since Alyssa introduced me to the Greek place in Vegas I need to find myself a delicious place to get Greek Pita.

Till next time people of the internet.

Right, so I wrote this the night before i moved then haven't been able to get internet for my abode yet. STILL HAVEN'T! Four hours later with Comcast and turns out i have to wait three more days.. ugh. But, I love Denver so far and I can't wait to share :D

-Kay bye again...
