Yesterday was the first day for Tristan and Giles at the highbay, bringing our total number to nine. We’re really starting to fill out the place. It’s also getting hard to keep track of everyone, especially when I’m buried in code all day. So, I no longer know exactly what everyone’s up to, and don’t really get pictures of everyone all the time. If you’re looking for somebody and they’re missing, hopefully you forgive will me. Or if you ask me, I’ll remember for at least a few days to try to get more pictures of your special someone.
