Noone said this would be easy.

We have a big Conference for work on Friday so I have been going in everyday to try and help get things done. I have been bringing Page everyday and she has been a joy, although I must admit I get that guilty feeling when she gets restless and I don’t have time to play with her, but I just hope she doesn’t mind playing alone with her bunny bear or her squeaky zebra. She doesn’t seem to mind and all the interns get their turn trying to sooth her if things are really going south.

One of our speakers at our Conference is a documentary photographer, Doug Menuez. He is presenting his work from his collection called Fearless Genius. His work spans 15 years behind-the-scenes in Silicon Valley and documents the daily lives of engineers, venture capitalists, and marketing and PR masters as they developed new technology that challenged the world. He shipped us a box of printed cards that we were to add to the goody bags for all the guests. Browsing through his vintage shots of Bill Gates, John Sculley, and Steve Jobs, one of his images hit home. Its an image back in 1983 in Cupertino of an Apple programmer Sarah Clarke who often brought her newborn baby to work. Her office had curtains over the glass windows so her fellow workers knew when it was naptime.

My guilt seemed to melt away and suddenly it was all making sense.
