Every year when I get my girls ready for their dance recital I thank god that my full time job is soccer mom and not dance mom (ballet bun and makeup not my thing)
I've found this to be true in the childcare industry. You get a bad apple every once in awhile, but generally people who work with young children are better people on average.
I talked to a founder today whose customers are all really nice people, because their initial market happens to be one that attracts such people. The founders themselves are nice for the same reason. They're enjoying starting a startup as much as any founders I've known.
Only downside to my best friends is 2 of them have trouble staying up late which makes it hard to attend late night events with them. But honestly I have trouble staying up late too these days.
My kids are 3 of my best friends and I would rather spend time with them than most other people. Maybe it sounds scary if you donโt have kids you like.
If you speak with friends in South Bay, having kids sounds scary, they drive all the time for activities, and have no life of their own
If you speak with friends in SF (Noe Valley), it sounds less scary, all activities are a block away and they go on retreats with their husbands and have fun for fun
It seems people choose their own pain and the answer is live in SF
@ellenjdasilva@SlackHQ@salesforce Slack employees joining your internal company channels is a violation of their own privacy policy. Especially since you likely have customer health data too. That's beyond just sketchy behavior - it's illegal!
Going to concerts with various kids of yours when your husband is laid up after major knee surgery is one of the main benefits of having kids. Last night was @GymClassHeroes โค๏ธ
Everyone is hating on VCs for falling asleep during meetings like no one understands how exhausting it can be cheering for everyone from the sidelines.
Everyone is sharing their worst experience pitching to VCs. So there was one VC I pitched who later had articles written about how he made sexual advances on every female founder who pitched him.
Anyway, he did not make any sexual advances on me. I still think about that.
