They consistently don't give 24 hours notice - once as little as 30 minutes and as I didn't see the message I assume they just went in.

Now they complain they can't get viewings when they want them. I have turned down ONE viewing on a day I said 5 days previously no viewings.

mnowster yeah I did and she was sympathetic and eventually they went to far and I decided I couldn't take it anymore (she had prev said...
-
mnowster ... that it was my right to say no more viewings) and now I'm told they are complaining about mess and lack of availability.
-
mnowster and I'm so fucking sorry that when I only got 30 mins notice and didn't see it and they went in anyway I didn't also TIDY UP!
-
mnowster 1 month. Already had 3 weeks of this.
-
mnowster no this came from my landlady. I had been complaining to her. And now they are also. I have all the text messages though...
-
mnowster ... with me agreeing to viewings at >24 hours notice constantly.
-
mnowster already paid :(
-
mnowster last week alone there were at least 4 viewings, and I said I was out of town and no need to contact me.
-
mnowster another week I couldn't even say how many because I couldn't keep track. But it was 4 evenings, usually multiple viewings.
-
mnowster and during the day as well. Estimate 2-3 a day, so 12-15 that week alone.
-
mnowster yes! I can't do laundry because it takes 24 hours to dry and I feel like they are coming by CONSTANTLY.
-
mnowster thanks for letting me rant. How are you?!!?
-
mnowster ha! When convincing me to agree at an hour's notice guy said I didn't need to worry about tidying. Apparently 90 mins different ;)

When get stuck on personal project don't push through because chance it will fail anyway #digpen

"Your best ideas will come when you are not working" sitting in front of photoshop isn't being creative, application of creativity #digpen

Need to be able to take ideas out, even if they are really strong, if they don't fit with the theme and really belong. #digpen

Taking about burnout and never wanting to see a computer again. Empathize. #digpen
-
"Do beekeepers suffer from burnout?" Something is happening in this industry that it is so common. #digpen
-
We only hear the highlights of the creation process - at best. Often what we hear are lies. #digpen
-
Think about why you are better today than you were six months ago. Think about what you were working on. Write it down. #digpen
-
what happens when we turn a project into a product. Have to start being professional, had financial pressure. #digpen
-
Only creative outlet was code. This was a terrible place to be. This one path leads to bad things. #digpen
-
The solution was to be rubbish. Try something that you will be terrible at. #digpen
-
Side project of making own shoes, entertained that mvp was one shoe. "There's no stack overflow for carbon fiber" #digpen
-
Make things. Find a creative outlet that is not what you do during the day. Enjoy being rubbish at it. #digpen
-
Totally loved john_nye's talk on burnout and finding your creativity. Thanks! #digpen
-
The talk about and symptoms of burnout scare me because I feel like that but not about coding, about nerdy boys.
-
kimhorne they talk about fear. Not breathing properly. All of it.
-
kimhorne yes a bit over a year ago I kept realizing that I had been in the bathroom for about half an hour and I was sobbing.
-
annkempster MartinHowitt I was saying maybe that is was my life has been missinh. A man with a fish.
-

-
oceanician do you not have better things to do than tell me how I should feel?
-
42aross I'm in Plymouth right now heading to London tonight, leaving tomorrow. Where are you based?

Nerds are not natural enemies of bros. They are just playing a slightly different game, one requiring less muscle, to oppress same people.
-
Very bored of declarations of a new world order. The people in charge still look similar, wealth still imbalanced, still going to war.

pilky exactly. Plus ca change.

juliepagano everyone fucking says their workplace is fair and equitable but how many women are there? How much do they pay them?
-
RT shanley: We don't need a male allies panel. Real male allies get off the fucking stage.

PatrickHerd lol :)

I want to love ghc so much, but this male allies panel highlights that anitaborg_org is about companies, not the women who suffer in them.

zara_p cute!

dantoml don't worry with tap to pay I expect you'll be able to embed something in your wrist pretty soon.
-
dantoml ah an ugly thing. Well, step 1 I guess.
-
skamille yeah it is v recruiting heavy but I have found it worthwhile because of the women I meet there.
-
.ghc anitaborg_org I think if the goal is to educate male allies there are better forums. How many men actually attend ghc?
-
. ghc anitaborg_org I bought two with me last year and they were very much in the minority.
-
.ghc anitaborg_org Do any of the companies have diversity numbers to be proud of? Has GoDaddy even released data? opendiversitydata.org/
-
RT plragde: .catehstn anitaborg_org should work with GoDaddy by bringing senior male employees to ghc to listen and learn.
-
plragde anitaborg_org GoDaddy ghc to be fair I think Alan Eustace is amazing and really cares but the Google numbers are terrible.
-
N4td cute!
-
MotherOFirebees seriously I'm so happy now that nerdy boys are a rare occurrence and not constant and unrelenting.
-
This ghc male allies panel. 2 companies, no diversity data. 2 with terrible numbers. What wisdom are they going to impart exactly?
-
If they were actually such great advocates for women, these men with SO MUCH POWER, their numbers would be less shit and available. ghc
-
Maybe there's value in male allies panel ghc but there are better to choose from. Top company for women awards might be a place to start.
-
Where are Intel and Bank of America ghc?
-
pilky hahahahahahaha yes
-
mrtazz lol lol lol that would be awesome.

Sister's fiancee's relatives don't use email so the invitation to the wedding they "don't see as a wedding" says "reply by pigeon carrier".
-
I point out with house/cat if broke up they would essentially need a divorce, my mother describes me as the "least romantic person I know".
-
Turns out pigeon carrier not very effective, thanks @charwarz I will let them know. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
-
"IPoAC has been successfully implemented, but for only nine packets of data, with a packet loss ratio of 55% (due to user error)"
-
@charwarz my mom is now talking about latency and wondering if the user error was the human or the pigeon.
-
@charwarz good point good point.
-
Daniel1of1 oh cool corbett is speaking! :)
-
.Blakei I read your blogpost and I have a question - what % of women in tech roles before you joined and now? And in leadership?
-
Daniel1of1 corbett pretty impressed by the lineup! But would be nice to see more women and PoC speakers ;)
