Nice to see the #ESA encouraging women apply(completely fair enough, I'm very much onboard with that), but not folks without degrees, they dont count 🤷♂️
That depressing feeling when you've got so much good work you could be doing ahead, but you know you need to leave and go somewhere new because you've been ground into the dirt so many times by senior management that you can't keep doing it... 😩
Time to polish up the resume on an RDO Friday!
Had a wonderful morning today, blowing away some metophorical and some literal cobwebs, testing out the culmination of a lot of hard work and a few injuries over the past few weeks in preparation on what will probably be my first trip of the year down to Northern France if all goes to plan in April. 🤞
The thought of being trapped with silence and my own internal monologue, is absolutely terrifying.... 😬
@communiteatime it is, purely by chance that very same SCALE week, if you're kicking around
@darkuncle 😩
its not just that, i need uk local friends who work US hours, so keep really weird sleep / work schedules 😄
@darkuncle yeah, I used to see a lot more of them, sometimes a night out just complaining about work and life over a beer is worth a transatlantic flight 😄
@darkuncle I suspect its more the company than the pubs, but I'm pretty sure it'll involve Kings Row and Lucky Baldwins in Pasadena 😄
Booked a flight LHR to LAX to go to the pub... sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do....
@tallison on that note... i'm off...
Pre Covid I used to travel to the US pretty frequently for meetings and development sessions. Getting the random remote worker signed off for travel was pretty easy because everyone was in the same place apart from me.
Post pandemic and now half the group works remote and getting travel approved is a monumental task because orgs are like "well we kitted it out for the remote folk so now you must use webex to the max" and from a job relationship perspective I've never been more alone.
@woodpunk our Evri guy is actually alright, and the local radio breakfast DJ to boot, its quite amusing
One out of @woodpunk book here, DHL delivered my parcel to the wrong house where the woman who lived there was out, left £400 of goods on the doorstep and claimed that it'd been signed for by me.

Let me use an #OpenSource project I'm involved in - @thunderbird - to demonstrate the importance of simply asking for donations.
In Dec 2022, for the 1st time, we introduced a one-time, in-app appeal. When our users updated to the newest release, their default browser opened the page I've attached.
They only saw this page ONCE.
We received an astounding $3.5m in donations, doubling our 2022 revenue goal in one month. It was the project's biggest month in history.
I climbed my yacht mast twice on Friday, today I am dead and can barely walk my quads are killing and walking is hard work.
I've gone back and looked at videos and stuff, I can't work out if I did something wrong or my legs just weren't cut out for lugging my fat arse up the mast.... 🤕
On the bright side, at least I did it!
@Quinnypig I reckon the I Don't Work sign behind is more apt.... ;)
To update your VO5 Logbook car address on the gov.uk website, you have to do it between 7am and 8pm.... what on earth prevents you interacting with a web form outside of those hours? 🤯
