Hello Dear Reader! This past week was an extremely fun time over at the Tales From The Field show! Fall is here, the leaves change and fall in Florida very quickly, & today is Halloween!!! Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. It is also my daughter's birthday, which makes it extra special!
This is my favorite holiday because everyone can participate in the holiday, the cost to celebrate is low, & everyone is there to give freely. We will be giving out candy bags, and the house is decorated in a Nightmare Before Christmas theme!
Decorated while I listened to Wrexham AFC streaming in my earbuds. Nothing better than listening to Mark Griffiths (Twitter | @m_griffiths92) talk about the pies or bursting my ear drums as Paul Mullin scores away!
Hopefully all of you will have a fantastic, candy filled, costume wearing day today!
"So Balls", you say, "what happened on the show last week!?!".
Ahh, thank you Dear Reader for keeping me on track! Off to the recap!
TUESDAY OCTOBER 25TH
We had the great Karen Lopez (Twitter | @DataChick) on the show. Karen is an 11 time Microsoft Data Platform MVP, a NASA Datanaut, & a Senior Project Manager & Architect at InfoAdvisors. As the world re-opens and we look at traveling for work and conferences again, we discussed Tips & Tricks as well as #KarensTravelStories.
Josh hosted the show. I shared the crazy story of my bachelor party flight to New Orleans, somehow I was disqualified, Andres WON!! Andres will be the host next Tuesday!! There was something weird going on about Andres, Josh, and a VENMO payment.... let's just say Dear Reader, I have my suspicions.
THURSDAY OCTOBER 27TH
We had Chris Ayers (Twitter|@Chris_L_Ayers) join us for the Community Round table on Thursday.
Chris is a Senior Azure FastTrack Customer Engineer that is DevOps & Developer focused. Chis is part of the same FastTrack team that Neeraj, Josh, Andres, & myself are all part of. We talked about DevOps Days Tampa Bay 2022 and some of the upcoming presentations and events Chris has planned.
