Conversation

2) speaker gifts are either chocolate or alcohol and I can do neither. But I manage to turn each of these gifts into speaking to random strangers and making new community friends. Having that social anxiety of needing excuses to talking to strangers can turn into a repeated win with the really cool boxes of local chocolate that would hurt me if I consumed it.

Had a box of gold and silver, and met a business and technical tester from Aarhus university. The break conversation was brilliant, and we’re now continuing the conversation over DMs.

Just like the best-ever front desk support I got after regifting chocolate over phone in full-remote times, after calling that random stranger and making a friend to regift the chocolate/alcohol to.

3) I got into a verbal fight which felt awfully lot like a man explaining me things I know better, and did not stand down. Well, to a degree that third parties heard about how watching us duel was interesting.

We yield rather than defend our positions. We choose often the fight to die before it starts. The fact that it happening reach people who weren’t there to watch it says it’s unusual.

I’m sure the spectators saw it in various light, but hearing back through the positive loop of how nice it was to see how I date changes to explain differences of what we experience was at least educational.
