@roryisconfused I once went to a driving range and the manager of the range stopped me to give me advice on my form. I cried and never went back. I don't want to be perceived, let alone as "so bad I need intervention"

@motanu @initjean Last year I booked an airbnb in Paris specifically for its AC. The remote was missing and it was 20ft in the air. When we asked, they said "it's nice out, just open the windows" No screens, so the place was full of flying bugs.

Then it had bedbugs too lol

My team and supervisor: It's a flaw that you push so hard to hit deadlines. You can miss deadlines! It's fine!
The CEO: You estimated this unstarted project at 12 weeks? Okay, if it goes over at all we'll just scrap it :)
