  • Well, at least they can see the baby steps that way I guess.

    But I’ve always wondered if I’m actually terrible at my job or if PMPs, Scrum Masters, Management, etc, can’t actually fathom that I have absolutely no way to roughly estimate how long something can possibly take that ive never done before, and I have no evidence someone else has done it before.

    When I was younger I got so frustrated with it I asked if anyone else on the team wanted to do it instead, and there was a resounding no, but it’s feasible so you should keep at it. And eventually I get it working but the whole time it’s demoralizing with the amount of “why are you not done?”

    And now I just give the exact details that goes straight over everyone’s heads anyway and ask if they need me to switch my priorities.








  • I respect the mindset but in practice I’m far too paranoid about getting the cops called on me for indecent exposure.

    I know the law is blah blah blah expectation of privacy in a home, but you tell me Karen won’t glimpse me playing beat saber fully dressed in my birthday suit and immediately call the cops tell them the neighbor in basement is flashing himself in his home to her and the neighbor kids coming by.

    If I could remember to always check my blinds, maybe I would. Well. Not when my son is around, cause I remember that as a kid and it was more like “uuuuuughhhhh whyyy?”












  • I mean even right now, I know one trans woman. Possibly one crossdresser.

    Plenty of LGB, I’m sure there are more trans than I’m not aware of. But we have hundreds of IT workers. Actually we may have more than a thousand.

    I’m not against it, but I do worry a bit that the younger folk not in industry yet think this is more common place than it is.

    It might be in silicon valley tech firms? I just know healthcare, finance, mil/aero, industrial services, and while gender identity and sexual orientation arent unknowns, any flashy display of, well, anything is generally frowned upon. Most people at work really don’t care if you dress up in drag in your off time. Nobody cares if you transitioned and have a new name, just make sure it’s updated in the HR systems and you have a new badge. And absolutely no one cares who you are sleeping with (unless it’s a coworker or supervisor, then LOTS of people care).
