sister time

Spent last weekend in Monterey with my sister celebrating her most recent milestone at work by eating sushi in the aquarium and spying on the prom in our hotel, and spending next weekend with her in Portland for a birthday trip. It's awesome getting to spend more time with her as her with schedule gets better and her kids get older.

all fixed

My car is all fixed up. We dropped it off before going to the summit, and picked it up right after getting back, and I didn't have to deal with a nasty rental car. If you're going to get your car hit in a parking lot, time it before a trip so that they can fix it while you're gone.

expertise

And one of my other coworkers apparently considers me to be an expert in hardware legal issues. Apparently, this "fake it till you make it" thing is working. Then we all had a laugh about how confusing everything is, and it made me feel better about not knowing all the answers.

really

One of my (straight) female coworkers told me I'm her girl crush. Aww, thanks, I didn't think anyone got crushes on old ladies like me.

summit

There's nothing quite like the Google Legal Summit. Three days in a hotel with a bunch of lawyers doesn't sound like a good time, but if it's the right ones, it totally is.
