To anyone who may be wondering what the pic is about be warned, this could safe you from having to walk an extra flight of stairs. Out of all the practical uses a sock can have, a “2nd floor” sign was the least expected. I learned this from Crystal on my second week at the AU. Apparently, this is the only mark at the stairs to let you know that you have reached the 2nd floor. I have to say, AU has gone out of it’s way in design originality and doesn’t cease to amaze me. Let’s just hope someone told maintenance that this is part of the design and they don’t ever pick up the sock that has been laying in that corner since the beginning of times. 

Working on my first “group” assignment to get to know each other and I found the perfect gif to reflect my current status. 

From top left to top right: Dan Rearick | Executive Director, Andrea | Developer and Mentor,  Laura| Developer and Mentor, Daisy Magnus-Aryitey | Director, Crystal | Developer and Mentor, Nayaran | Developer. Second row from left to right: Alisia | Programs Coordinator, Crystal | Developer, Cait | Developer, Me (Irene) | Developer, Daniel | Developer and Mentor, Cruz | Developer and Mentor. First row from the bottom: Romina | Developer. I’ll be writing about us as the story develops (from: “when I didn’t get the joke)  but these will be the familiar faces you’ll see around the blog for the next 2.5 months.  

I am not a writer and hardly consider myself a programmer but here I am writing my very first post about my life as an intern for a non profit at the American Underground. First two weeks have passed but hey! it’s never too late to start.
