Two weeks from tomorrow, I’ll join a panel of amazing women from @awscloud Germany to talk about how you can chart a career in cloud computing. We’d love to have you join us!

(And fun trivia – “Servus” is how you say hello in Bavaria, where I live. 😃)

@ASpittel That sucks. Hang in there. 🙁


Hey Aussies! This one’s happening on Wednesday. ❤️ https://t.co/Qr9rn57qNg


@pgarbe I don’t hear many folks in Munich say it for goodbye though. Ciao seems much more common!


When @dnsmichi turns up at the same meetup, you have to eat Dragee Keksi! (Apologies to @FrankPrechtel and the other AWS Nürnberg attendees for not sharing…) 😂🍪 https://t.co/EqNdwW4HDM


@dnsmichi @FrankPrechtel Now I need to learn how to say “I’m ruining my dinner” auf Deutsch. “Ich ruiniere mein Abendessen” ?


Today’s German lesson was about propositions that can take either accusative or dative case, depending on the verb. So I’ve been walking around all day muttering things like “Ich gehe *ins* Bett, aber ich liege *im* Bett.” 🤓


@lynnlangit I literally recited that this morning! It’s been stuck in my head for 25 years. 😂 (Those are the always-dative ones, so they’re easier than these tricky bastards that change depending on movement.)
