On the way to a parent teacher meeting that I hope could not be an email.
I prepared myself by being late

Brain fried after a 40 minute screening interview for a QA role with AI focus. We started in German (company is German), then switched to English (not sure why) and ended with Spanish (I'll be based in Spain). Luckily the Spanish part was about hobbies as talking about my work in Spanish would have been a real challenge.
Wish me luck for the next step as I'm not keen working another season in tourism.

In the waiting room of the mental health clinic for you: underfunding screaming into your ears with bunch of kids with behavioural problems and 3 workers squeezed in a corner behind their desks and on phones arranging appointments and answering questions.

First class on applied people analytics done this year. I love that we are two instructors. It’s wonderful to see someone doing an amazing job.
Class is small, only 12 students. But 5 to 6 active students not scared to share their experience.
Next week will be deep dive into basic descriptive statistics. Students least favourite subject.

01:00 storm with lightening and thunder
07:00 still raining heavily but my kids go to school (because I’m a mean mom)
11:00 first school notifies me of school closure because of the rain; second and third school follow soon afterwards with emails
11:30 kid#3 calls me that she’s leaving school now because of school closure because of the heavy rain
11:35 kid#3 calls me asking to be picked up because she is not allowed to leave (because of the rain). I refuse (because of the rain 🤣)
12:00 sun is shining
12:05 kid#4 arrives at home
12:10 kid#2 messages that she has to stay as normal because sun is shining
12:15 email from school 1 and 2 informing me that kid#1 to kid#3 will continue to have f2f class today. Sun still shining
F2f Classes for tomorrow still cancelled because of potential rain
Morale of the story: weather is hard to predict

While reading the Score by C Thi Nguyen I realised two things
- since undergrad I’m alternating between heavy quant focus to heavy human focus.
- What is really exciting about social networks/graphs is that they look super technical, but simultaneously they are a story and you need words and context to make sense of them.
Given that I alternate between technical (numbers) and stories (people) it makes sense that I love working and analysing social networks.
Only took me 20 years to figure this out

Eat cake. Whenever and however the fuck you want.
Especially if your mom made it (aka me) and you are sharing it with your kids in the kitchen all digging into it

“…and he’s dominicano” kid#2 explained excited about her new love prospect. Me, flabbergasted at why nationality matters, stare at her.
“That means he’s hot af” she explains and then skips away happily

Today I had oats with mascarpone.
Because I slept like shit and didn’t turn on the kitchen light. Not that bad, but now I need to buy mascarpone for the cake.
