Got bored and sent some emails at work asking for access to various things. I hope I didn't just draw attention to the fact that I still work there.

you should do what Tommy did when he was dabbling in white collar work: leave the meetings to go to the bathroom and never return to the meeting. it’s a great way to show disrespect to your coworkers.

One of our product owners keeps getting pissy at me. We have had an established rule that 12-2pm is to be free of meetings to give people flexiblity with their luch break. He's constantly scheduling meetings for 1pm or 1:30pm and whenever they show up I immediately decline them much to his disgust

Tried to go to the dentist because I think I may have a cavity. Booked my appointment online and showed up today but they didn't have me in the books. Turns out I booked for a month from today because I didn't look at the online calendar closely enough. I feel like a fool!

One of my big freelance projects last year was a 10-hour ITIL 4 video training course for Udemy. Fucking boring as hell. Good luck with all that value stream bullshit!

I’ve been out as trans for about 6 years now. There was a period where I detransioned when I got clean 4 years ago. That was when I started the job I’m currently at. I eventually went back to being a girl, present to one to any stranger I encounter. Everyone refers to me as “he” at my job, and I stopped trying to correct months ago. Maybe it’s my personality, or the fact that my voice is a little lower. I’m not sure why I’m posting this here. Just wanted to vent RM fam.

from a fellow trans lady (who has stopped trying to voice train, my voice is mid-range, it's fine, and anyone who thinks different isn't worth my time), I'm proud of you! hit me up if I can be a support x (out as a woman for just under 10 years btw)

I'm using a couple of Udemy courses at the moment!
