Negritude, Boricuatude, Estrotude, and now Geekatude

I have officially arrived as a geekette. I thought that going to She's Geeky was the way for me to declare myself as a geekette among equals.

Nope.

It wasn't enough to go to Mountain View, home of Google, in order to feel myself at ease among women who tech.

No.

It took my computer breaking in order for me to reckon how much I depend on it for my every day living.


I am truly hurting here.

I just found out I destroyed a whole development database no thanks in part to my not having my notes handy about what's in the server.

I also was taken by surprise this past Tuesday. The kids were off school and I am sure I have that set up on the 'puter with my up-to-date school calendar ... unfortunately my paper ones are out of sync with my virtual timelines.

I am adrift, bereft like a puppy at sea (sorry cat lovers, I'm allergic to felines).

Words to live by

I've essentially been driven out of activism, and being gainfully employed is much more attractive than being marginalized. Note this doesn't mean there are no benefits - it means it's not worth the costs. The fact that the skeptical side considers a weighing of positives and negatives, while the marketing side seems to follow a cultist reinforcement of only favorable evidence, inclines me to believe that the skeptical side is right and the marketing side is wrong.
