Secfi hits Chicago

I’m gearing up for the long weekend followed by a trip to Chicago for our US offsite. I’m incredibly excited for the week ahead. I haven’t seen most of my colleagues for over a year now in person and there’s nothing like getting good face time.

We spend so much time with each other on a day to day basis working largely remote. We do our best to make those connections remotely and build a bond. However, it’s just not the same as when we can get together and really bond in person.

We have a few hours per day reserved to get work done which will be nice. But most of the time reserved just to hang out and have some fun. We’ve all been through a lot these last couple of years and being able to get together, bond, and just enjoy being with each other is incredibly important.

Lastly, we have a lot to celebrate. We’ve had some big wins this past week and I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone in person. The Zoom and Slack celebrations just do not hit the same. It becomes more real when we’re in person together.

For now, I have a long weekend with not too many plans. My sister is in town so I plan on just relaxing. It’s going to be a fun week.
