I'll type this in for Jane...

She started her computer-industry-career as an HTML/PDF developer at a start-up called e-health-insurance-dot-com. She quickly became team leader, and has recently been promoted to co-project-leader.

I've mentioned the PajamaParty to her... I'm not sure what she will do.

Well, if Dani goes, too, we abandoned husbands can have a bachelor party. I've already gotten an invitation to play pool (but it's from one of the women at the PJ party). - JerryWeinberg

Jane here: I've been staying late every night since becoming a co-project-leader. I don't like this. I'm hoping to get some ideas at this conference. AYE advice & literature seems very helpful so far.

Its tough because I had zero programming training or experience before this job. And no management training or experience either. So I'm very open to hearing the basics.

I've been told that I was promoted because of great organizational skills & high standards. Sounds reasonable. But I hope the learning curve is not too painful.

Jane, I had barely enough time for half a hello when you dropped by at the end of PSL. Maybe we can escalate to a full-fledged conversation at AYE. (It could be that we already met at AYE 2001, but if we did, I don't remember. It's nothing personal - I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday!) NaomiKarten
