Still Working It

by Claire on August 4, 2010

In more ways than one. Just a quick update: my weigh-in this week rocked and surprised even me. I lost 3.2 pounds! This was after a week of relentless tracking of my food intake, staying within my food limits (points, if you are on Weight Watchers), and increased activity. Just goes to show ya – It works if you work it.

I’m also working a lot – a LOT. We are rolling out a new website a week from Friday and it’s going to be visible to employees around the globe. The work my team has done is going to get my boss huge and well deserved kudos. It’s been months of hard work and I’m proud and grateful to be a part of it.

People may or may not realize just how many hours go into the text you see on a website. Things are discussed ad infinitum like:

  • How many characters can you have in that field
  • Will the international countries understand that term?
  • If we say “please” in that error message, is it patronizing, helpful, or unnecessary?

And so on, and so on. But that’s my field of expertise. And that’s why they hired me. And again, why I am so utterly grateful for my job, my skills and abilities, and the fact that they keep signing me on for more work.

I leave you with this sweet picture of Little Miss Laila who fell asleep in her jumperoo. I’m blessed that I was here to snap the picture.
