I’m not entirely too sure how (or when) it happened, but I’ve become our department’s go-to person when it comes to tech queries. We do have an IT department but getting them to look at anything requires setting up a work ticket which then gets ignored for weeks on end. Recently, I had to ask

I got back from Ottawa on Friday and I will write a post about my week away. But, something from the trip stood out and I thought it deserved its own post. I checked into the hotel on Monday since there would be opportunities to film and take pictures on Tuesday. Natalie got a room
