    @soxyface OR I could make my own. ๐Ÿ˜‰


    Yes to this whole thread. Sleep is incredibly important, and too many tech folks don’t get enough (and oddly think it’s somehow a badge of honour?!). https://t.co/jtkg4lkont


    @jonoabroad @nothergeek I spoke at an event for soon-to-be tech grads earlier this year, and one of the Qโ€™s they asked was โ€œhow intense is it in the industry?โ€ Iโ€™m like, โ€œItโ€™s as intense as you make it.โ€ But actually it turns out …


    @jonoabroad @nothergeek That a previous speaker had told them they needed to be working 24-7, have a side hustle, etc. They hadnโ€™t even started and they were already preparing to burn out. I was so mad at that person for normalising that shit.


    @busbub DAMMIT. I still haven’t hit the Christmas bus lottery yet this year.


    Greatest accomplishment as a manager for the past 6 months: teammate gave me a Gryffindor Christmas present, correctly guessing my Hogwarts house without being told. โค๏ธ๐Ÿฆ


    @mattallen @johnbarton Well, what house would you have put me in? I can’t support you as AWS Sorting Hat without seeing if you meet the bar.


    @SydTechLeaders ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ


    Dear Twitter – what do you do if your amazing gorgeous clever mermaid of a friend is marrying an unscrupulous Slytherin? Hypothetically.


    @mmastertheone As in, he told me he thought Iโ€™d be in Hufflepuff. ME. HERMIONE. IN HUFFLEPUFF. Therefore, I must assume evil.


    @hannahyanfield @mmastertheone Iโ€™m not a Hufflepuff, but @i386 is. Heโ€™ll be proud to claim you.


    @merxplat @NatDudley Hmm. I asked my colleague @frankarr who pointed me to some public info: https://t.co/xIXRg7Y2vU and https://t.co/dbGE5FMq53 and https://t.co/ELcMwDbsGE and https://t.co/fX0bkOZwdq


    Made Nuts & Bolts and Hello Dolly bars for work tomorrow… (Why yes, my house *does* smell amazing, thanks.) https://t.co/10fAe2oWyV


    I would’ve thought that using words like “mermaid” and “Slytherin” would’ve tipped people off that I was joking, but apparently not on Twitter. Unclench, folks. It’s the silly season. https://t.co/atbExjjpcW

    RT @BilgeEbiri: What if your definition of โ€œsuccessโ€ includes โ€œnot having to get up at 4 a.m.โ€? https://t.co/qvQcywPZ6O

    My reward for braving the shops: the Snook baked a Lemon Poppyseed Buttermilk Drizzle Cake. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿฐ https://t.co/kgeATO2A0N https://t.co/M5lyhcCHyS


    @DreamingMetal It was invented for brownies, but I’ve also used it for lasagna and lots of other stuff. ๐Ÿ™‚ https://t.co/4H61cgJ8eD


    @gilmae @randomknits As you should be. (This shit is gooooood.)


    You know what’s fun? Trying to order falafel for 45 people on a Sunday night.


    @DreamingMetal It’s more for folks who like the crispy edge bits, which is us!


    Falafel procured! And there was much rejoicing.


    @gojkoadzic I have almost the exact same photo! Lovely place. ๐Ÿ˜‚


    @morgan_gary My husband introduced me to this mystery via Reddit – so nuts!

    Hey @IIBA – my membership has been expired for 4+ years. My account has just been migrated to your new system, where I can find no way of actually deleting my account. Can you please assist? That’s a thing people need to be able to do.


    This is all well and good when you’re totally grey, but it sucks if it’s salt-and-pepper. I made the decision to stop dyeing mine this year, but I’ll admit I’m still torn on it. I work in an industry where older women are incredibly rare. ๐Ÿ™ https://t.co/SPKNzoWyGu


    I know I’m supposed to think this is a bad idea, but I’m having flashbacks to Boone’s Farm Wild Island in college. I will definitely try it. #sorrynotsorry ๐Ÿท๐Ÿโค๏ธ https://t.co/Ksd3SPJc82


    @NickyWill100 I’m so sorry to hear it, Nicky. My condolences to you and your family. ๐Ÿ’œ


    @joneaves Mine really likes Lambrusco and soda.


    Supposed to be in the Domain seeing Paul Kelly, but itโ€™s pouring. โ˜น๏ธ Instead weโ€™re finishing off the Roger Moore years… https://t.co/gjIwqRVldm https://t.co/FuqJeo9gHs


    Wait, this oneโ€™s about destroying Silicon Valley? I might have a new favourite Bond…


    @samnewman Sheโ€™s AMAZING. I need to work more hoods and backless jumpsuits into my wardrobe.


    Getting on a list like this is legit one of my life goals. https://t.co/D57ZPndZth

    @mattallen He’s annoyed he didn’t have an appropriate era baseball cap. (He couldn’t find my old ND one, which is around here somewhere…)
