@fading_to_dust @NY_Comic_Con Same thing is happening to me

[Ilana Sufrin @IlanaSufrin]

@NY_Comic_Con It just kicked me out of the queue even though I've been waiting since noon, with a "rejected queue number" error. What do I do? It says I will need to rejoin from the beginning

Meetings are like gas- they'll expand to fill the container you give them, aka the amount of time you allot for them.

It's heartbreaking to think that women growing up from now on will have less reproductive freedom than their mothers

Travis and I are flying @qatarairways home today and when we got to the airport in Male, one of us had been bumped to a later flight with absolutely no communication. Not a smooth start to the journey at all.

@Grubhub hi! I didn't redeem the free lunch coupon code yet but it says that I did, because I tried it out on an order that I didn't end up placing

Feeling stuck trying to code "right" implementation for the problem?

Code a hyper-specific solution to the concrete instance you are trying to solve instead, then take a step back and generalize based on what you've learned.

One of my fave decisions I've made- I do my biweekly therapy sessions during the work day, and I keep those events public on my calendar.

Allows me to take some "me time", reminds my coworkers that I'm a human, and normalizes therapy for others who are considering doing the same
