One last time this year, I'm packing my suitcase and taking with me: A presentation, a clicker and my speaker outfit.

6:56 breakfast area in a hotel. Playing happy, energizing music from the 50's/60's. The introvert in me is screaming. Only thing I wanted is a tea and some peace. Another point why I should get a mini thermos/water boiler.
A full bookshelf, a free library access, online library access. Still, nothing to read!! ...if you want to drop some recommendation - preferably fantasy
I am sick and tired to fight for a place at the tech table ran by male dev managers. ~ an exhausted female tester
