@NateOrmsby Dye your hair pink. Will do the trick 😂

Something I’m not seeing many people in #100Devs talk about, a thread. BURNOUT. I opened up my calendly for coffee chats awhile back and stupidly put my availability pretty much all day. I was immediately inundated with over 40 coffee chats within 1/

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

@alexisintech Definitely the second one! 🥰

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

This is also my very first thread so if it’s unreadable, I apologize! 😂

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

I guess I am saying all of this to say…when Leon says ‘do this many coffee chats’, do THAT MANY coffee chats. Because the burnout is SO REAL. I will get back on the horse and catch up but in the meantime, I’m taking some ME TIME! 💕 6/6

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

By nature and have a very hard time being social or talking about myself. But… I tried. And I appreciate each and every single person that came to them because I learned so much from each of you, I adore each of you and wouldn’t change the chats we had 3/

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

Lifted off my shoulders when I did because I could just relax. My last coffee chats were last week and I haven’t even touched my laptop since then. Although I’ve definitely been busy since, I just look at my laptop with disdain and dread now. 5/

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

For the WORLD! I would absolutely be best friends with so many of you. But it was wholly unsustainable. I ended up canceling multiple coffee chats throughout the 2 weeks timeframe for various reasons but it always felt like a ton of bricks had been 4/

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

The next 2 weeks time. I am a people pleaser, much to my own dismay so I really tried. I was able to make most of them, some of them were so close together that I was minutes late for one because the other went over a minute or two. I am an awkward person 2/

@joshingcode Perfect 🥰

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

@IntellectJunkie @BlawblawLaw Definitely not but a lot of people are treating it as if it’s over. It’s very sad to see while some of the most vulnerable people in our society are still unable to be vaccinated. 😔

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

@BlawblawLaw Very terrifying having babies that aren’t old enough to be vaccinated yet and seeing the long covid stuff happening to so many folks. I cannot even fathom that happening to one of my children.

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

@BlawblawLaw It’s been a TIME, that’s for sure. The most terrifying parts were being pregnant and having a newborn during it all while my husband still had to go to work every single day. We luckily (knock on wood) managed to avoid contracting it so far but it’s still

[Caleb Vance @Cvancetech]

I believe that this will be me working from home before this year is over #100Devs I know that’s bad posture but I want him to stay asleep.

@larainnepasion THE CUTEST omg

[Racquel Taylor @RacquelTaylor44]

@HondaCivicChan I’m too nosy for vague posting, Jason! 😂
