One of those most fun parts of leading and mentoring juniors in my field is they do something, say it’s completely finished and then assure you it’s correct. You don’t have time to check it and believe them when they say it’s done and sorted — then you have a flurry of messages Monday morning complaining that it’s not working right.

Welcome to my Monday! I just do not have time to audit every single thing everyone on my team does. But I have to let them do things without me as I also do not have time in my day to do it all.

Dammit.

Just how big can a snowflake get? It depends on what you mean by ‘snowflake.’

Some of those conservatives who believe a woman should not be in control of her own body are complete snowflakes and are pretty big indeed — probably can’t even fit in a compact car. Oh wait…you mean the cold kind that falls from the sky.

I see.
