@mialoira I tried to "zoom in" with my fingers on a doodle I was doodling... on paper... twice. I declined the rest of the days meetings.

[Shelly G. @thatgirl_shell]

Truly.

If you're thinking about writing that "Design is not #UX" or "UX is not #Design" post or article...

Don't.

@sdgates It's an interesting look at the difference between coach and mentor. I'm glad you were able to reach out to Megan and have a conversation. The cruelty of people in this industry really showed yesterday.

@BrandonMorehous And like... where does everyone find the time to hang out? Or am I just an old person who likes to be in bed by 9?

@RebeccaBarUX Solid advice. Love kid logic some days.

100% my mother would be erasing my work if she saw my handwriting today.

She's the best mum, promise! But she was a stickler for academics and neat handwriting and here I am today, as a designer, writing like a doctor.

@davidhoang I've been rejected, ghosted, and interviewed until the last round from a series of places — hoping all places found their right fit and the UX Designer who got the position is flourishing. This trend is weird but I'm happy for your positive spin.

[Shelly G. @thatgirl_shell]

100%

@miggi Congratulations!

[Shelly G. @thatgirl_shell]

@theavangelist @nicolarushton LoL ... I started as a forklift driver and now I'm a designer. There are days I miss it but not enough to go back. ✌

This thread has been the highlight of my morning... Truth hurts especially from littles.

Wendy - 'Feeling happy about things'

Wow. Didn't expect a gut punch from Wendy but okay. Is being an adult about contentment? That feeling of finally enjoying the precious moments life hands you. The still. The calm. For once, feeling, happy...No it isn't. Adulthood is hell.

[Shelly G. @thatgirl_shell]

@sofskrbic I was just talking about how I struggle with this. I have iterations everywhere. 😭

[Shelly G. @thatgirl_shell]

@lhbizarro I love love hearing what devs have to say and really tell what other factors play I to what I've designed. Healthy conversations about the why and why not let me walk away knowing we made a concious decision as a team.

@tomchaffin714 Honestly, I get bootcamps, and I've met some really great talent with bootcamp backgrounds. But I feel like this way of marketing opens the doors for let downs and broken dreams.

“I’m just going to pretend that everything went super smooth.” Is a mood. I can’t even LoL @pablostanley

@reathchris Yup. Closed chat reeeal fast and focused on the all the *figtastic* things @figmadesign was presenting.

[Shelly G. @thatgirl_shell]

The 10 y.o came in the room emo flipping his hair... I told him to go brush it out of his face before he hurts his neck...

WHO AM I?!

2007 me would've thought I was so lame.

[Shelly G. @thatgirl_shell]

I know, I'm biting... I hate it. BUT "All Dogs Go to Heaven" there will never be a stack of waffles that fills me with joy like the stack of buttery maple syrupy goodness that little adorable orphan had.
