Most of the people that know me, know by now that I left IBM back in September and went to a startup named tinyprints. They do wedding invitations, birth announcements, holiday cards, etc... I took a week off between jobs and headed over to the Eastern Sierras and Boundary Peak with Timber and Wookie to do some camping and hiking. It was a fun trip, and when I started at tinyprints I immediately jumped into the deep end. I was brought in to lead the test team, and we had a lot of testing to do before we launched lots of new features and functionality on October 1st. So I worked day and night every day for my first 2 weeks until we did the launch. It was kind of like the movie Gladiator where Maximus first goes to Rome and gets thrown into a battle where his team is supposed to get slaughtered. It starts out being chaotic, but he gets his cohorts organized and actually wins the battle.
But now that I've been here a little while longer things are going more smoothly. It is quite a bit smaller than IBM, and the culture is different, but I think the adjustment is going well and I'm enjoying my work. And it is nice to work on something that lots of people will actually see and use. So if you are having a baby or getting married or having any kind of occasion you really should check out tinyprints and weddingpaperdivas. And if you email me I can send you a coupon code to save 20 %.
