Today was super relaxed! We started an hour later than usual – at 10 – so I got to sleep in a little (always nice). At the office we ate a small breakfast, then did a little work while we waited for everyone to show up. I focused on adding a few new slash commands to the Slack command list and creating backend functionality for them, but I only got one finished during the hour it took for everyone to show up. The one I completed is a user lookup query, where you type
/search-user [USER ID]
and it searches the database for anyone with a matching ID number by running the SQL command
SELECT name, family_name, email FROM user WHERE user_id = ‘USER ID’
We then spent some time playing a teambuilding Jeapordy game with questions drawn from fun facts we had submitted that morning.
After the game we headed out to a special Olympics baseball tournament where Silbo was providing refs to about half the games, and spend the afternoon watching them play. A few employees were also volunteering as umpires for the game, so we got a few marketing pictures of them.
