Too many words, not enough notes
Name:Vicky
Location:Cambridge, United Kingdom
Bio:I'm angsting about what should go first on the list of "things about me". If I start with my work, does that look like I don't care about my family? If I start with my family does that make me a pathetic person who has no life of her own? One thing I am certain of is that I don't have time to worry about it, so instead I'll write them as a list and put a big disclaimer that says "in no particular order"! :-)
- I've been married to Jonathan (Jif) since April 1997
- We have a son, Matthew, who was born in May 2003
- We all live in Cambridge (UK, not MA)
- I work (full time) as a software engineer

If you want to be friended, drop me a comment or friend me and I'll friend you back!

I have two opt-in filters - one for child-related stuff (if you can see this post you're already on it) and one for Cambridge-related stuff (if you can see this post you're already on it). Drop me a line if you want to be added to either filter.
