My best interview experience involved a past problem the company had. It was given to me several days in advance of my on-site interview and I was told not to spend too much time. A couple sketches showing one or more solutions would suffice. I really enjoyed that it was grounded in reality and not some made-up fantasy problem. I don't know why that's so hard.

This is a continuation of Part 1 where I take you through the poll working experience.
During poll worker training, I learned about the different roles and responsibilities you could be assigned to as a poll worker. I remember thinking “Oooh I want to do that” for Privacy Booth Inspector and Scanner Inspector. The BMD/Privacy Booth Inspector sets up the privacy voting booths and ballot marking devices (BMD) which offer people with disabilities other ways of marking their ballot (touch screen, Braille-embossed keypad, Sip & Puff device, or Rocker Paddle). …

- Assignment — Work day and role assignment.
- Election day — The day/s that you have to report to work.

There’s been a lot of talk in and around the 2016 US Elections. But it’s talk about each other, not with each other. Like everyone else, I read as much as I could but was drawn to a specific type of article — ones by authors who have their feet in both worlds that, even if we disagree, help us see both sides. …
I was surprised by how much I love our Google Home and how useless other people find it. Do they just not know about all its amazing functions?? So I thought I’d share it here.
You will find this relevant if you, like me:
- Are easily distracted by your phone, and feel bad about it.
- Remember important to-do’s throughout the day — usually while you’re busy with other things — and want to get it done right now.

I got tired of taking people’s word on the implications of the Better Care Reconciliation Act. I wanted to understand how. Which sections say that? Which lines? What does it say exactly? So I put it up here for us to annotate and discuss in context. The original document is here in PDF form.
