It’s been quite the year.
My mini-me had just turned one year old at the start.
I gave up seven years of freelancing to become a salaried employee again, with the fantastic Code For The People, who six months later sold me to Automattic.**
Lots of travelling was had. In August, I took my partner*** and the boy to watch my partner’s brother marry an American girl from Akansas, then I spent my first few days as an Automattician meeting my new colleagues in Lisbon. Right now, I’m in New Orleans meeting with the team again**** 🙂
On a bittersweet note my partner and I separated, but I’m now a father again to a little girl.
This year? Keep my job, buy a house.
* Matt being the new “big boss” (haven’t had one of them in over a decade!) who at only one year older than me is substantially more successful… grrr! 😉
** I’m absolutely not complaining!
*** Now ex.
**** Though today is the last day, so I’m mostly spending my birthday in airports…
