An app feature that really pisses me off:
On the train app, when your connection is no longer feasible (due to delays), it offers you the option to search for alternatives. So far so good.
When you choose one, it reminds you to check if your ticket is valid on the new connection (1/2)

The nicest thing I've learned this week is that I have pretty eyes.
After 42 years of either seeing them from behind glasses, hardly seeing them without or seeing them with contact lenses.... I saw them clearly in the mirror yesterday. They're pretty 😍

Current status: enjoying the world with 100% vision (short sightedness completely corrected) thanks to artificial lense implants on Wednesday. I was very nervous before the operation, but it was fine! The last days have been spent putting various eye drops in and sometimes wearing sunglasses 😎

Well today was lovely 😍 seeing the sun rise over the red sea, snorkeling with fish, seeing all the colours of blue, and swimming alongside dolphins (no touching, no going too close).

A quick stop in Braunschweig then we headed to Egypt for some much needed rest (evidenced by the monster migraine on the plane). I basically napped for 2 days straight, now I can stay awake for a good 4h at a time 😆

This week in everyday sexism:
1.The person that cold called me asking for Mr Schladebeck. I said he'd reached Ms, he said 'perhaps you're the right person'. When he asked if I was the manager of bredex, I said:yes, but I was disappointed he hadn't researched my gender before calling. He hung up 1/2

Auntie life: taking little man (2yo) to the zoo while the rest of the family run the kids xletix. I've packed more than I pack for some holidays, but currently we're chilling in the Multivan in the zoo car park because little dude fell asleep 5 mins before we arrived 😴❤️😂

I started the morning crunching numbers (yay c level shenanigans) and spent the afternoon auntying.
New tip unlocked: if the baby hides for too long, he's having a nice big poo on the floor (thankfully tiles). 😆🤩

We REALLY need to focus our conversations on value.
Having some critical thoughts about using AI to enhance your user story descriptions. Because I thought that the whole point was to have conversations, not generate text so my Jira tickets are fuller. #gtd
