Three calendars had finally become one.
I got up, did the usual check, and realized there was no usual check anymore. For months I had been carrying separate calendars for Shutterstock, Reonomy, and everything else. Now I only had Reonomy. It was my first full-time week, and that small bit of administrative cleanup felt enormous.
Monday had still been a little juggly. I was dealing with Fios and the leftover mechanics of moving while trying to get properly started at a new company. Apparently leaving one job did not mean the rest of life would politely clear the runway.
But Tuesday felt different. I had one place to go and a short list of decisions I could actually make.
We needed a phone plan for the people who needed cells. Sales and client success needed desk phones. I wanted an engineering blog, partly to show the work and partly to help us recruit, but I did not want the team burning a pile of time building a publishing system. Find somebody good to set it up, make it match, and get back to the product.
There were also office questions. The space was already tight enough that we needed somewhere for a private conversation or a small meeting if we were going to stay through the summer.
None of these were grand technology problems. They were the regular pile that appears when a company is becoming a company: phones, rooms, recruiting, tools, and deciding what deserves the team's time.
The difference was that I could finally look at the pile without checking which company owned the next hour. That was the woot. One calendar, one team, and a full day to get moving.
