of Russians and robots
Jul. 9th, 2013 11:18 amHung out & socialized on Saturday night while the Siberian Siren did what she does so well, namely pick up women. She heard me tell a friend that she's the worst wingman on the planet by virtue of being crazy hot, but she made a good point: she provides entertainment that attracts other queer women with whom I can then chat. This has happened on multiple occasions.
On the way there, I was treated to half of a long, technical phone conversation about investing in real estate - in Russian, between the Siren and her father. She used English for several legal & technical terms, and at one point said, "Who cares?" Fascinating. If only her dad had known what she was wearing, where she was headed, and who was driving.
I did my trans support group facilitatrix thing at Lambert House last night. A question came up last night on which I have a strong opinion: to go "stealth" or come out? "Stealth" is a euphemism for "closeted" that's popular among trans people, in case you didn't get that. You know I come down heavily on the side of coming out, as long as it doesn't unduly endanger you or your livelihood. Naturally, I can't just say that to a teenager if I'm representing the house; it isn't my place to do so.
This week is Mozcon, an annual three-day confab about "inbound marketing" and how my company, Moz (formerly SEOMoz), can help you with it. My employer let me talk to customers, the fools. I behaved myself, of course, and I have to admit I've learned more about what customers want and Moz's many products in the last three days than in the preceding three months, easily. Yesterday morning I assisted with last-minute Javascript hacking for a demo that I have yet to use for real. This morning I hunted down a customer who fortunately dresses like a cowboy to give him the answer to a question that I didn't have when he talked to me yesterday. As a technical salesperson, I don't suck.
Speaking of Mozcon, its big party is tonight, and I scheduled a first date at the same time it begins because I didn't check my Google calendar first.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
randomdreams, you better get to work on that neural interface.
