Confidence and walking swiftly and importantly are two keys to success for tech folks.
The first means you may not know the answer but are confident you can find it.
The second because you get grabbed less in the halls if you look like you're late to somewhere else.
I love every single part of this story.

Tonight’s walk took us to a new part of the neighborhood. It was a beautiful with trees and shrubs in bloom. As the sun set, the light was perfect and the colors spectacular.
A good walk always lasts longer than you intend. Tonight was a good walk.
Yahtzee! I rolled three of them. It was ridiculous.
I'm not sure what luck I'll miss out on having used it all on this game.
Totally normal grocery store trip. We picked up most of what we were looking for. Idly thought "maybe we'll get a pizza." Nope.
Decided to check out the toilet paper aisle just for fun and... Nothing.
We also made a trip to Panera for bagels since our local bagelry is closed. Added some fancy bread because sometimes you need to see new foods to get you through the week.

Today I have been:
- Technical Support
- Webinar Support
- Emotional Support
What I have not done is take any time for myself. It's vitally important as we give to others, we take some time for ourselves.

So… Webex chats stopped working. Only private chats work. No groups like All Attendees or All Panelists. Not even “Panelist” or “Host. You must select the specific person to chat to. Or they simply fail to display, or send.

Anyone have any experience running large webinars? 5,000 - 10,000 participants. We do 1,000 - 3,000 routinely
I’m looking for best practices, pitfalls when running things that big. Anything I should be planning for or aware of when the numbers get that big?
RT’s appreciated. DMs open.
Has anyone shared a cover letter that landed them a job?
I don’t necessarily mean it was the deciding factor, but when you applied, you eventually got the job.
I’m curious to see what a successful cover letter looks like. So many people give advice of writing a good cover letter, but I’ve not often seen what a good cover letter looks like.
Anyone have an experience or example to share?
