Today I am on a “game of thrones” tour. I have never seen “game of thrones” but I understand it is a tv series about rape and murder. So let’s see how this will go.
-
The tour guide asked if anyone had any questions so I asked for a tl;dr of “game of thrones”. This took quite some time and I am more confused than ever. But it sounds like there is a social justice warrior with three pet dragons?

Help me out here because math is hard. If women are ~50% of the population but only ~20% of engineering roles how does that happen and what does that suggest about the problem?!

Let’s not even get into racial disparity because those sums are clearly very hard. Much harder than a computer science degree.

Thanks so much StJamesClubMB for making the trip I’ve wanted to take since I was a kid so special 🙄

brindy Flight is cancellable and been going back and forth. On balance going yes because I could probably really use a proper vacation? But there’s no outcome that doesn’t feel a bit shit.

-
martinb3 Oh interesting! I don't know that I have any advice for getting it wrong, other than: keep it < 3m (if possible), leave it off your resume, and do a deep retrospective to figure out what you missed.
-
rynchantress martinb3 More context was helpful. I think the benefit of mindful decisions for me has been knowing what I can expect to be hard, making explicit trade offs and that makes it easier to ride out (if inline with expectations). The other thing is: this is where coaching can help a lot.

One year left until I could get a passport (why I came) but you can’t leave the country in the last year before you apply and we’ll be splitting our time between here and NL so… I guess that’s a bust. No regrets though, I’ve loved living here. Maybe bae will make me Dutch 🙈

We took my parents out for a fancy dinner and my dad made a point to photograph all the desserts for the “family WhatsApp group”. Reader, I am not part of this group.
-
Anyway my parents finally met bae (after ~15 months of cohabiting) and everything if fine. My mom asked how we met. Apparently one day I tweeted “we” and she was like “who is we” and I was like “my boyfriend” 😆 our communication game is clearly very strong 🙈

I had forgotten that moving is like days of intensive shopping. But today we mostly resolved bedding so I’m feeling good about that. It’s very very soft 😍 also this time I am going for an entirely bamboo experience (duvet + pillows + mattress topper).
