Evette goes to work (early September 2015)

NerdWallet is awesome. It's a great company and fabulous employer. One of these days I'll write a good post on what I'm up to there, but in the meantime, here's a small view into how great it is: I can bring Evette to work with me.

And let's be honest, that says a lot about Evette too. She spent the entire work day with me in early September and loved it. She was talking about it for weeks... the "surprise" food for lunch (we have a different caterer provide lunch every day and I never check the schedule -- "DAD! Them might have sushi!" with her bright, hopeful eyes), the toys/games, the meetings, going on the bus, etc.

So proud of her work clothes.

NW's video team was cool enough they let Evette on camera...

For her first on-camera interview!

Evette is a champ. And I mean, seriously, how cool is NerdWallet that this was even possible?

She spent much of the day reading books and working on her "project" books - basic reading, problem solving, and art books.

She attended a meeting with me!

Towards the end of the day, we were glad we brought the iPad. Also, one of her favorite things about going to work with me is the free snacks.

While everyone at work did a great job of welcoming Evette to the office and talking to her, I was especially impressed the next day when dozens (literally) of people told me how impressed they were with her and asked me when she'd be coming back again.
