@Patricia @adacon sad to be missing this! While I'm not 'in tech' I'm close enough that I'd would t want to miss this. But am away at another conf that day!! 😟

@Patricia @adacon Welp, silly of me to start a new job across the country the day before. :/
Show threadPatricia AasSep 4, 2023
@sigvat @adacon very silly indeed 😄 congrats on your new job! Maybe you’ll be around next year?
Show threadSigvatSep 4, 2023
@Patricia @adacon Thanks! I get to move home to Bergen, so I'm happy about it!

But should maybe have researched the startup date a bit better (although it seems I'll be the senior by far on a brand-new team so delaying too much probably wouldn't be wise either...)

And yea, next year will probably work better than showing up for my first day all "Hi! Happy to be here! I'll take a couple of days off now to go back to Oslo for a conference now." 😬

@sigvat @adacon doesn’t hurt that it’s free 😃 call it team building and jump on a train 🚂

@Patricia @adacon I'll see what I can do!

First step is getting to know people, of course. I'll get to meet most of them next week, they invited us not-yet-started people to a gathering.

@sigvat @adacon good luck! They’re lucky to have you!

@Patricia @adacon Thanks!

This might be my first time being The Old Fart™, so I hope I'll handle it reasonably well 😅
