A Bit Presumptuous

I guess I'd better get my act together and introduce myself! First, let me say what a joy and honor it is to share this space with my two friends. Writing is not a talent you often get to observe in your friends. So being able to share the "page" with these ladies is great fun.

The moniker "GuruChick" seems a bit presumptuous in retrospect, but that's ok. Hey, it's the internet, no one really knows if I'm a guru in anything! The name comes from my early days in the technology world. I was the only girl in my high school computer science class. On my birthday, all the guys signed a card for me and said "You're the coolest computer chick we know."

I have since gotten away from writing software, but now I work in medical technology. Essentially, I provide tech support for implantable defibrillators. I love my job; it's different every day and I get to help people. And that's just the days I'm in the office! My other "job" is being home part-time with my 8-month-old, Walter. You can always read my latest "proud mom" post on his blog, NextGenGurus.

I used to have a solo blog at GuruChick.com. With a new baby, I just didn't have the time, energy, or creativity to put out enough content on my own. So I'm excited to do a group project like this. I can still do some non-mom blogging but there's less perceived pressure to post. I hope you're looking forward to all that is to come in this space. I know I am!
