    Pretty sure I just walked past ex-colleague who bullied me for better part of a year. What a crappy start to an otherwise beautiful Friday.

    @aimee_maree Thank you! I think you successfully cancelled out the dark cloud. 🙂

    @jannism But do you say “whiffy” or “why-fie”?


    @catehstn It’s okay, some lovely people cheered me up. I was thinking of writing it up as a blog post to exorcise the demons.

    I’ve seen a couple girls this week with silvery-blonde dyed hair, and I thought to myself: TREND! I wish mine were fully grey, but instead I just have salt-and-pepper (which I’ve had since my 20’s).

    First playlist suggested to me by Apple Music: “Taylor and Friends.” This is acceptable. (@randomknits @knitabulous)


    Hey @mobywhale @dp_lewis – can I trade some @canva stickers tonight for @SydCSS ones? 🙂

    @mobywhale @dp_lewis I’m skipping my knitting group for this! I hope no one will look askance if I knit during the talks. 🙂


    @SydCSS @mobywhale @dp_lewis Hmm. Well, it is an accessible user interface!


    @mobywhale @GRobilliard @OphelieLechat I think we are witnessing the birth of yet another meetup group. 🙂


    @mobywhale @GRobilliard @OphelieLechat Seriously though, you guys are welcome to Thursday night knitting! We meet at Bowling Club at 99 York


    Office Puppy! I’m counting the minutes until he sniffs out the cat dander on EVERYTHING I OWN. https://t.co/xBIWafRUTE


    I agree! I have a new secret cable project percolating myself… 🙂 https://t.co/4vL1wjQlSd


    I had every single one of those thoughts earlier today. (Except I secretly liked tapping on the globules.) https://t.co/SC23EKAxLe

    I have @canva stickers, tattoos, & image credits for any frontend devs at #sydCSS who are interested in joining the team! (I’m the knitter.)

    Hey @iamnotyourbroom and I have the same fave Dr. Seuss book! (“If I Ran the Circus”) #sydCSS


    “I did it because it was fun, not because it was practical.” – @iamnotyourbroom with my new life motto. #sydCSS


    Swapped some @canva stickers for #SydCSS robots. My laptop is going to be very happy! http://t.co/GZADKbtIqg http://t.co/ltPkkb8PkJ


    @diversionary @SydCSS @mobywhale @dp_lewis I just put it away. @iamnotyourbroom’s maths distracted me and I made too many mistakes!


    @diversionary @SydCSS @mobywhale @dp_lewis Also, fancy bamboo needles are quiet. 🙂


    @msharp @canva I think making the stickers ginormous was deliberate. 🙂


    Very much enjoying @ijayessbe’s talk at #sydCSS. She’s very entertaining! http://t.co/WygdenLecH
