Tester. Agilist. Writer. I'm new here - I used to have separate IT & writing accounts. Trying to merge them. I do #testing & "software stuff" as TestSheepNZ, I do #booksky as Meike Torkelson. You've probably guessed that I have an identify crisis.

I'm back to recruiting for a Senior Quality Engineer. The job advert should be going out later in the week but have a recruitment agency head hunting. A bit overwhelming recruiting at times. Luckily have other people to help me on it!

Slice of my day... My partner and I were in a quiet clothes store, where we caught the male staff having a Zoolander-eqsue dance off behind the counter. Thirty mins later, we popped back in and did a co-ordinated Village People Y-M-C-A, which was just hilarious. Good to have a partner-in-crime. 💜
