9. Arrive. 10. Have good meeting. 11. Buy birthday present. 12. Get train going back where came. 13. Be complacent. 14. Trapped underground.

Oh nice now I'm being told my ticket was revoked. united this whole experience where I paid to NOT TAKE A PLANE has been ridiculous.
-
Paying over 200 USD was nothing compared to this ongoing nonsense of that not even working united.
-
r343l omfg
-
Now united are saying my flight was voided because I didn't take the plane, which means they didn't cancel that leg properly.
-
Eulerizeit :/ I'll be back
-
I have had a constant conviction that this would go horribly wrong and it is pretty stressful to have that vindicated at an airport at 11pm.
-
I'm going to cry.
-
Hagit I hope it gets sorted in time to board the plane in 2 hours :/ otherwise I'm screwed.

Since Brexit every convo I have with my parents involves me asking them why they haven't moved to France yet, saying I'm never coming back.
-
Currently writing a response to one of my high school friends who detailed her+ husband's various options of escaping post-Brexit wasteland.
-
And TBH what gets me is I haven't heard of a single politician standing up to say, look, this was a terrible idea, is completely infeasible.

I think main lesson of Brexit is that most politicians - esp those at the top - are even more spineless and self-serving than we thought.

-
danielpunkass Although the one that stroked me wants me to do something with him and I don't understand what.
-
danielpunkass I think he was trying to comfort me? I showed up at 4am in my PJs because the people next door were partying SO LOUD.

On the "over-prepared" thing: women always receive negative feedback no matter what we do, so sometimes we just decide what feedback to get.

Also can you imagine what they'd say if HRC DIDN'T have her shit together? Can make good guess because basically what was said about Palin.

.jamesmarcusbach wow since you are proud to say you are "not nice" let me take this opportunity to tell you you your behavior is on-brand.
-
.jamesmarcusbach making a slide with the goal to undermine another speaker is appalling behavior and disrespectful to your audience.
-
.jamesmarcusbach assuming the audience came to learn something from you about testing and not how to be a complete jackass.
-
.jamesmarcusbach this kind of behavior perpetuates a bullshit culture of one up manship, shame and exclusion.
-
.jamesmarcusbach If you ever wonder about lack of diversity you will find a compelling answer in the mirror.
-
nein09 lol! :)
-
maaretp wow that is appalling. I'm so sorry. I really hope the organizers are dealing with it?
-
nein09 🔪🔥 men like that would be my schtick if only the law allowed it. What a douche.
-
@susan_vdven woahhhhh!!! that is appalling.
-
@cacorriere it's a pathetic man's attempt to make himself feel bigger by belittling a woman. Fuck that noise, frankly.
-
maaretp :/ I kinda want to hell ban this event from technically speaking, if you DM me what it was?
-
maaretp I don't think there is any level of content that excuses that kind of behaviour.

Ahh I have a hangover and today I am super grumpy and hate the world. This is why I don't drink alcohol. It's so exhausting and inefficient.

I often think that a big thing that holds me back as a woman in tech is that men don't offer me enough advice on how to navigate that. johngreathouse/781140877334884352
-
I did once have a (male) manager who was hurt I didn't come to him for advice on this. So I asked him what his advice would be.
-
His idea was that I shouldn't let it get to me and treat each new incident like the first incident.
-
lenazun manners.

selenamarie we have so much to learn!

expliKateD yeah that is a pep talk and not even a good one IMO

Men who start randomly kissing you one week and the next are like "do you have a boyfriend?" and "don't tell anyone".
-
And I am all... "So you don't want me to tweet about this?" 🤔
-
This is why before going on a date it can be a good idea to construct a fake identity.
-
@xMiss_Insomnia haha yeah already left the country!!
-
New colleague: "have you made your new job Twitter official yet?" Me: "no, I updated my Twitter bio to say 'gone adventuring'."
-
"Gone adventuring" = like "gone fishing" but doesn't involve sitting in the rain or handling dead fish.

xorhearts Awww

nkkl well I don't eat fish anyway

PanasaurusRex I can reopen tshirts again and there are stickers or I will bring some to Seattle by the end of the year hopefully.

-
orenellenbogen thanks for including my post in your newsletter 😇
-
My default answer to all questions about eng management situations is "I would ask people questions and listen to the answers."
-
Even better is asking good questions (which is also a skill) but asking questions at all is more than a lot of people seem to manage.
-
sophaskins wow that is not at all the impression i got when I met you.
-
orenellenbogen I am planning a follow up about managers and inclusion 😇 and thank you!!
-
jeffwatkins yes agree any questions better than no questions, good questions best of all.

ReinH yep!!!
