We first met in October 2017 at a travel software startup that we mutually agree to be The Worst Job Ever. On Andrew's first day, Erika introduced herself at the coffee station (Andrew does not remember this). Though we sat near each other (Erika literally sat behind Andrew), we barely spoke. However, we both thought the other was cute. A few months later, at the company holiday party, Andrew worked up the courage to talk to Erika, but Erika told Andrew she was leaving the company and that was her very last day at work. We thought we would never see each other again. Flash forward one year, Erika added Andrew on Instagram. After a week of exchanging messages, we decided to meet up IRL at Mad Oak in Oakland. We've been together ever since!
