The Awkward Silence

Q: Did I cause this fight or is this my girlfriends fault too?

@dhein You have to write an @ and then type the name of the person. It's not like when you reply to a message. But you can combine both methods though :p

@Ælis I heard the PT traffic is better in Paris today? Courage anyway <3

I’m 19 and my girlfriend is 18. We’ve been together for 2 and a half years. Things have turned to the worst and I’m so confused on what to do next. Something I’d like to start off by mentioning is that I have a huge problem with anger and insecurity. My gf has dealt with this for our whole relat...

@avazula Haha, I wish! But nope, still not better...

Also, I have an "agile day" today so I probably won't be around

@Ælis :(

Morning :)

@dhein Only in chat, not in comments :)

Let us know once you have the discord set up, you probably want to be in the TAS server as well? :)

@Tinkeringbell And only up to ten people in a single message

@Mithical I guess you're wrong.

Morning

sorry people. gotta test something

@Belle Afternoon

In an hour, I have my first performance review at my new job. My second one ever, and the first one since that horrible one at my previous job

Good luck with that. May the Force be with you.

Thank you. I keep telling myself it's fine. My new job isn't toxic like the last one. But I've always had imposter syndrome and I seriously doubt myself.

@Belle You're gonna do great. You're a good engineer and a kind person. You're gonna kill it!

AAAAARGH

I got moved to tomorrow last minute. CEO has an emergency.

@AJ Only the first ten will give a notification

Oh wait, the CEO's emergency is cancelled, so our meeting is back on? -confused noises-

I don't like this

Okay, meeting is uncancelled and moved half an hour back. Now stop changing it!

:(

10:21 AM

I lived through it!

@Belle yay! How was it?

I scored 'as expected' on nearly everything and 'above expectations' on a few, so I'm pretty happy. No raise, but I didn't expect one as I just joined 2 months ago.

@Belle That's great! Congrats!

@avazula Thanks! I'm so relieved.

I can imagine

10:30 AM

@Belle Congrats! :)

10:54 AM

@Belle That's awesome, well done!

For those people not on my Twitter already: I put my account on 'protected'. If you're going to follow me and don't have an easily recognizable handle, let me know ;)

@Tinkeringbell You should have 15k rep there to protect. :P

JAD

what does protected do?

@JAD Instead of everyone being able to follow you, they have to send some kind of 'request' first... people can't tag/mention you, and your timeline is basically invisible to anyone that's not an approved follower.

At least, that's what I found when I searched Twitter on restricting mentions ;)

and you can't RT tweets from protected accounts

That too.

11:02 AM

And naturally if you comment on something, only followers can see it

It'll also mean that if I crochet something, #crochet will be missing out on that... but that's acceptable for now ;)

:)

12:29 PM

@Tinkeringbell you having issues on ze twitts?

@djsmiley2kindarkness Just some SE trolls that found my username funny to tag somewhere ;) Nothing to worry about, I've blocked, reported, and stuff...

heh ok

if trolls spell more time trolling, than I do dealing with it, I'm winning :D

I like trolling occasionally. And I usually win ;) because no one figures out it's me.

I try to stick to harmless trolling though, don't like hurting people. Not even feelings.

One of my best ones was when I built a statue in Minecraft in front of my friend's base in the shape of a particular male body part. Upon encountering the statue said friend immediately assumed it was another (mutual) friend who did it and grilled him on building such statues. I still giggle when I remember that.

;D

I wouldn't refer to that as trolling, just harmless fun

@Belle That's the good kind of trolling! :D

12:40 PM

only because trolling seems to have such negative connotations...
