I've just discovered people have different ways of thinking about this. When you need to clean the kitchen, do you class it as:

@BeeNetwork are there any trams from piccadilly? Quite a few people waiting

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@easyJet anything going on with the EZY716 IOM > Manchester - app says on time but not boarded?

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@BeeNetwork is anything happening at Victoria Station? Need to catch a train but the tram is just stuck outside the station

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@rxtheatre do you have a list of prohibated items before coming to see a performance?

@Apocalypte Ugh no way! I chose to change to my mother's maiden name at 13 and that extra bit of paper for passport renewals is always a nightmare to find. No chance I'm going through it all again as an adult with real paperwork

@karomancer Same! My younger sister did the whole long term relationship, kid, dog and buying a house thing by 27. I'm 32 flipping a coin between settling down or going travelling 😅

@RandallKanna I love reading a book on these things - but yes, admittedly, it's useless unless I'm using it

Finally admitted to my manager that I foresee myself moving away from coding into a more soft skills role eventually. I've never mentioned it because it felt like I'd failed as a coder but making a plan which works to my skillset will ultimately benefit everyone

@KatieARaby Gorgeous where abouts did you go? I was in Ulverston! Sadly not on a yoga retreat

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@Apocalypte Honestly I thought blazers and ties were going to be a lot more prevalent in my adult life based on how much my school ranted about uniform standards

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@lovelacecoding Books over the films, but I enjoy watching the films with my niece. But I will never stop being upset about the disrespect for Hermione and Ginny

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

There are normal Sunday scaries. And then you have a pre Monday bank holiday Sunday scaries where I have to keep checking we are actually off work tomorrow 🙃

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@chrisfitkin Only one. But being a one ticket only person on a team of ticket jugglers is hard though!

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

You know it's time to start the bank holiday weekend when your laptop just decides it's not going to work

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@lovelacecoding I didn't realise this was a thing - but apparently my company has organised a company-wide sports day 🙈

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@ewainy Oh no, how bad is it? Red flag for a junior to have much/if any responsibility in my opinion. Depends on your company/team structure though (smaller companies will have more of a wear-many-hats idea)

How do people go off on little side quests during mobbing? I was just asked to update another repo, but got so distracted by the other conversations on the teams call I ended up making the wrong change in the wrong place 🙈

@manairport Thanks, I said I wouldn't have a pram with me. I have been able to use priority in the past as I had a pram. Am I allowed to use priority *without* a pram or will I need to buy fast track passes for myself and the three year old?

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@manairport if I'm travelling with a three year old child without a pram, am I allowed to use the priority security line or will I need to purchase a fast track pass for both of us?

[Jade (she/her) | Software Engineer @CodeWithJade]

@PocketProgram I can relate to this so much. Imagining the nothingness would keep me up all night. Made the mistake of telling one parent who's "no-one knows so why worry?" response wasn't comforting. I'm not sure how I would respond to a child now with so much on the news and internet
