Weekly Geek Outs - 09/02/16

Greetings!

Here's what is going on in my world this week:

I shamefully finally finished watching this show on Hulu this past week. I put it off for way too long since I was initially intrigued way back when I caught the first two episodes. Unfortunately, the show didn't improve much for me. It built up to the culminating moment and I felt it like it didn't pay off at all. I liked the time travel story and thought James Franco did well, but overall it was pretty underwhelming, which was a real bummer.

I'm going here this weekend with my partner and making another day trip out of it exploring more of our DC home. I'm thinking we'll hit up somewhere for lunch and another local brewery. There is so much to do in this city, I don't know if we'll ever even scratch the surface of it all, especially with Baltimore, Alexandria, Annapolis, and the surrounding burbs to get to as well!

  • Sustainability

I was recently appointed to the company-wide sustainability committee for my job. I'm very excited about this opportunity and to become more involved at work. It is something I'm really passionate about and want to do all I can with this new effort to help my company be as environmentally conscious as possible. It felt pretty validating too to be honest. I always appreciate the small wins like this, and it came pretty unexpectedly so it was a nice surprise.

Thanks for stopping by!
