After setting up for an onsite demo, I was talking to the project owner in the conference room, waiting for everyone else to arrive, when I noticed this giant pile of post-it note cubes in all different colors, all mixed together. And I was like. No. Absolutely not.
So I reached over and, while still chatting, got them all sorted by color and then lined my color stacks up in ROYGBIV order, nice and tidy.
Project owner: Ah. I see you have a touch of the 'tism as well.
Me: Whoops.
Project owner: Probably half the people that will be in this room do too, you're among friends.
#lol#ah yes#the tech world#home of the neurodiverse#mylife#workthings#Literally though a great icebreaker at networking dinners is to just ask people what their weekend passion is#which is great at getting over awkward silences#and has honestly taught me a lot about my customers but also introduced me to some very niche hobbies#because boy do tech folks tend to have hyperfixations they are dying to discuss with someone
