Trans rights are human rights and Black lives matter.
I love you.

It's weird how aggressive some folks can be when you decline alcohol. Like they need you to justify why you aren't drinking.
Please don't be that person.

I 100% agree and would add that if you are hosting a holiday event and you do NOT have something festive, creative and delicious for your guests to drink without alcohol in it, you are actually an asshole
don't make them drink tap water while everyone else has bespoke cocktails!

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Nah; that part came more recently when I joined a company as a Sr Test Engineer, became Lead in 5 months, and then Director around a year later, and in under 3 years took the "bottleneck" in the process to the ISO Auditor's "strength of the company" -- and that's down to my team doing quality work.

I would like to spend more time on boats as well but life hasn't really been conducive to that.

I fell into Test Engineering by accident. A friend at GE Appliances told me to apply to their SWQA team and all the things that frustrated previous managers turned out to be strengths for this sort of role.
It allows me to combine my wide & deep knowledge of how things work and my love for details.
