João on stage promoting the open space at #AgileTD

If you are at #AgileTD, do feel free to propose a session for this year’s open space with @jrosaproenca.bsky.social and @alexschl.bsky.social.

It doesn’t matter if you want to present something or simply discuss a topic, just post it on Slack 👉

This is also correct in theory

What gets me: your ticket instantly becomes generally valid when your connection is no longer possible. So the check makes me feel like *I'm* to blame when I'm not.

And since I only use this feature when my journey is obvs not going to plan, it's salt in the wound.

An app feature that really pisses me off:

On the train app, when your connection is no longer feasible (due to delays), it offers you the option to search for alternatives. So far so good.

When you choose one, it reminds you to check if your ticket is valid on the new connection (1/2)

The nicest thing I've learned this week is that I have pretty eyes.

After 42 years of either seeing them from behind glasses, hardly seeing them without or seeing them with contact lenses.... I saw them clearly in the mirror yesterday. They're pretty 😍

Despite all my knowledge about systems, failure and testing, I would probably visit Jurassic Park.

It's amazing and very strange! My eyes are easily overstimulated at the moment and before bed I feel I need to take my contacts out 😆

I do need to get 1+ reading glasses (this was known in advance and one of the reasons I had the surgery before I need to move to bifocals)

Current status: enjoying the world with 100% vision (short sightedness completely corrected) thanks to artificial lense implants on Wednesday. I was very nervous before the operation, but it was fine! The last days have been spent putting various eye drops in and sometimes wearing sunglasses 😎

Hugs all round!

I am a professional woman who has her life together...

I have forgotten my bra for after the gym ...

Well today was lovely 😍 seeing the sun rise over the red sea, snorkeling with fish, seeing all the colours of blue, and swimming alongside dolphins (no touching, no going too close).

A quick stop in Braunschweig then we headed to Egypt for some much needed rest (evidenced by the monster migraine on the plane). I basically napped for 2 days straight, now I can stay awake for a good 4h at a time 😆

Day 4 of non stop Disney music. Jones says the hallucinations are normal.

When you're actually a cute fairy but you've seen some dark shit

Oui!

No, the dog chewed through a cable and destroyed the fuse 🤣

That's the spirit 😅

A letter heading reading 'dear sirs' in German

Today in how not to address people gender neutrally....

Anyone wanting to become a ceo should know that one of my tasks today was 'has someone farted or do we have a problem with the drains'

Next up, a contact request on linked in. With the message: I see you're CEO, that's impressive. Let's connect.

Does he tell all genders that achieving c level is impressive?

I ummed and ahhed about posting this. I second guess whether I'm overthinking. That too, costs energy. Gr.

This week in everyday sexism:

1.The person that cold called me asking for Mr Schladebeck. I said he'd reached Ms, he said 'perhaps you're the right person'. When he asked if I was the manager of bredex, I said:yes, but I was disappointed he hadn't researched my gender before calling. He hung up 1/2

He woke up after an hour and we had a lovely little time ❤️💕🤩

Auntie life: taking little man (2yo) to the zoo while the rest of the family run the kids xletix. I've packed more than I pack for some holidays, but currently we're chilling in the Multivan in the zoo car park because little dude fell asleep 5 mins before we arrived 😴❤️😂

Oh, and two weeks later seeing offspring in Newcastle for more girly shenanigans. I have a good life 💘

Excited for girly shenanigans in November. Halloween party then seeing halestorm in Berlin the day after!
