Honestly, I couldn’t care less about a stupid horse race. But an occasion to finally wear my new crinoline in public? Okay. 🍒❤️ https://t.co/7OD4zY9Ur4 https://t.co/oIRkXh6bAM


Ugh. I got a lovely & unexpected award a few years back from a group I’m in, and I heard through the grapevine that a supposed friend was griping about it. It hurt. What a petty thing to do. @Mandy_Kerr is such a generous force in our community, and a bigger person than I am. ❤️ https://t.co/xOdxO9bglr


Thanks @randomknits for the flower. It’s the hit of the day. 😍 https://t.co/TnQBzbrSrj


Now and then. Four years ago @lemon_lime and I won Best Dressed Couple! ❤️ https://t.co/dMB9RbFQrW


@lemon_lime Wait, was that for the race or for your outfit?!


@lemon_lime WHAAAAAT.


Huh. Do tech meetups in Sydney really pay $100+ to a venue to host? I can maybe see that for a vendor-run event, but not one staffed by volunteers like @SydTechLeaders. 🤔


@SydTechLeaders Thanks everyone. To be clear, @SydTechLeaders has been going for years and never had to pay for a venue. We are working on 2019 events and I was surprised when a local place quoted me a rate card today. Just wanted to calibrate my level of indignant outrage appropriately. 😉


@SydTechLeaders And no, I’m not gonna reveal the source of the subtweet. HIGH ROAD, BABY. 😂


@simonwaight @SydTechLeaders @MSFTReactor They’ve already reached out. 😉 Thank you though!


@jonoabroad @SydTechLeaders @Atlassian 😂 Seems that way sometimes, but not all!


@LizlingC I agree it’s not free for them. That’s why we list them as venue sponsor and try to make sure they get attention from attendees. I’ve just rarely seen it passed on to volunteer, non-vendor driven groups.


@MWatsonSYD1 @mootpointer @SydTechLeaders @MSFTReactor Ha! @mootpointer literally offered to connect us about 20 min ago. 😊 Will be in touch…

Discovering that Jeopardy’s Battle of the Decades shows are on Netflix has MADE MY WEEK.
