This week, I did too much and exhausted myself. I had too many meetings and stretched my brain in too many directions. All in all it was a good week, I'm just tired.
|
I fell down several rabbit holes, including the Mozilla Diversity and Inclusion report. Wow. I don't know why I continue to be surprised by the lack of diversity, but I really do. It's hard to say "WTF" over and over again though. Exhausting. I'm learning that I should ask for help.

I also heard that Mozilla is getting rid of IRC. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, and Mozilla shutting down their IRC server is the end of an era. It's never been anything but a hassle for people who are less techy and want to contribute to the Mozilla mission, but we all knew that back in 2010. Nowadays we're all looking for the appropriate channels.

Speaking of inappropriate, someone I didn't know sent me a text file as an attachment. I should have sent her the complete guide to ransomware, but instead I just told her that I didn't open her file and then responded kindly. Kindness is an easy thing for me, I wonder sometimes why it seems to be so hard for so many other people.

My colleagues at the We Are Open Co-op will be at the Creative Commons Summit, so if you're going to be there, do find Doug and Bryan and say hello. I, on the other hand, have booked a spontaneous last minute travel, so I'm not even sure if I'll send a newsletter next week. I need to go visit some octopuses (no, the plural is not "octopi").

Maybe I need help?

This week I felt mentored. Someone gave me very good advice and others took turns making me feel like what I do matters. I'm also working on figuring out how self-validation works. If it's hard for you too, remind yourself of something big you've already accomplished. Loads of people don't do even that one thing in a lifetime.
