I didn’t get ready early enough to catch the MAX so Wayne dropped me off. I ended up being about 10 minutes earlier than usual so nobody was there. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and had that with my tea while I read my UA email and caught up on Slack messages.

I was just about done with the ticket I was working on. I just wanted to look everything over and do some final testing to make sure it was all correct. We had a team meeting scheduled for 10:00 so headed over to a room we could all fit it. Everyone went around and talked about what they were working on. Most of it is stuff I will never touch since we are working on customer APIs and the employees are working on internal proprietary code.

I got my ticket all done and pushed up to the private repo and then waited for my two +1s. I started working on another ticket that involved removing some development only packages from requirements.txt and moving them into setup.py. When I did that and then ran ‘python setup.py test’ it happily went and found the packages I needed and installed them but the tests were failing because one of the packages was not found. Huh….I checked and they were being installed globally and not to the virtual environment! That is not handy. I did a ton of searching and reading but didn’t really figure out what I should do.  I talked to Adam about it and he had some suggestions but we were going to revisit it in the morning.

The Winter Coder’s Social was being hosted at UA at 18:00 so I asked Andrew to pick me up and come in so we could at least say hello before we headed home to dinner night. There were several people I knew. Kronda arrived and brought a game. She asked if we wanted to play and we definitely did. It was called Forbidden Island and it was fun even though we totally lost! We lost pretty quickly too. It’s a cooperative game so everyone loses or wins together. I definitely want to play it again.

We arrived home to a wonderful house full of people! Wayne was making tacos and they smelled amazing. Tonight we had the now six of us with Jordan and then Estelle, Spencer, John, Alice, Jason, Taylor, Delaney, Miri, Dale, baby Michael, Lauren and Sean.

Today I learned the workings of the setup.py file.
