I can't think of a recent time where we've been in a hotel room doing that.
But I will say that I have it with my daughters.
So I have two adult daughters now, 29 and 23.
And as they were coming up, you know, I would go in their bathroom in the mornings when they're getting ready and sometimes just sit there while they're getting ready.
And a lot of times they would come in my bathroom.
And, of course, girls borrow things.
My sister and I borrowed things from each other, makeup, et cetera.
But I also miss โ so I've had that tradition also with my own girls.
And when we're back together in a hotel room, the three of us, we get together.
We get together and, you know, talk and get ready to go out.
And, oh, do these shoes work?
I'm not sure, you know.
I would say working at Microsoft in the early years.
I worked there for nine years.
I was a computer science undergraduate, went straight to business school, and then boom, straight to Microsoft.
And I was quite young when I started.
There were very few women in tech.
And because I had this computer science background and this business background, it was a natural fit.
