@SamsungHelpUK I booked a pick-up repair on Sunday night for tomorrow and still haven't had any kind of confirmation from DPD. What gives?

Interesting perspective on the advantages of working in big tech, compared to academia. Good to be reminded of things to appreciate about my job!

Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n

@shelbyn_23 Couldn't agree more. This is why I only work 4.5 hours a day. V aware only possible because I'm privileged to have a job where 60% pay is enough.

@BirdNET_App Any plans to add parakeets to the detectable birds soon? You know there's a lot in London and Europe, and it always stumps the app!

@walkingrandomly @dr_fishface Ever tried a Pixel? 😛 (disclosure: I work at Google and get them free to test the OS)

@PeopleOfUK I'm learning Romanian, taking weekly online evening classes for a year now - my goal is to get better at Romanian than my partner's dad is at English - it's gonna be a while 😅

@BadNests To be fair the pigeon obviously saw this tweet and took the feedback on board because the next day a single twig had been placed somewhere in the vague vicinity

[Anita @anitacode]

@BadNests At least there's some attempt at putting sticks together unlike this one!

@PeopleOfUK I have a running belt which carries two small water bottles, so the rucksack would mostly be for a change of clothes (light summer clothes atm so maybe something like that would still work!)

[Anita @anitacode]

@setthetoneER OMG so excited to listen to this one!

[Anita @anitacode]

@CharlieEdmunds Yeah I told people in a meeting that none of us are working Thursday Friday because of the Queen, and they were like '?'

@SoCraTes_Conf do I get a confirmation email that I entered the lottery? Because I'm pretty sure I did, but can't find anything in my inbox to prove it..

[Anita @anitacode]

@IJohnson_TNF Congrats on holding out this long! Glad it's not too bad so far

@__apf__ @philz42 +1 for panniers. Game changer. No more sweaty backs! I even use a small pannier when not-commuting these days. That and clip -in pedals will help you up those hills!

@trai13 @AlexSyse @blakeaburge Drove me nuts too! Then I discovered bone conducting headphones which are perfect for running and walking (they are like a headband that hooks around your ears). I also have soft headband headphones for wearing in bed and big noise-cancelling ones for planes/trains.
