    Me: actually, I am working on other things right now, and it’s important that the sales team has a complete understanding of the idea since I’m not the one making the pitch. This is how part 1b of the project can be both broader and vaguer so we don’t commit to analyzing x and have the freedom to analyze y and z. Also you should know I just came up with y and z right now while talking; coming up with similar examples does not require specialized knowledge of the situation. Is there something in particular that you don’t understand about my suggestion?
    Sm: oh ummm I’ll look through your comment and write it
    Me: awesome; feel free to call me if you need further clarification

    Yes I could have written the extra paragraph in the time to write this post but it’s the principle of the thing and also seriously if he’s making the pitch he needs to understand the offering
    I'm surprised they didn't drag you in.

    You could always tell the field personnel because Sr. Leadership is in Suits, the field personnel are dressed in the same shit they normally are because they forgot they have to do that proposal shit that day.

    They might pull me into those conversations; some of the clients like me a lot and I am the one who takes 90% of the talking time and answers every question in our presentations to the state (some of them totally don’t like me though, like the mean old lady from the one agency eek)
    I also defined what it is we are pitching for the next mini phase and have edited the little proposal substantially
    He can and should write the one paragraph!

    My friend was just talking to me about this twitter discussion
    She (where she is used p loosely) is basically agender and does identify with agender type robots and animals and shit and thinks that’s cool
    I mean kinda like me being nb (ish) and being like ok so I know the party line is that you don’t have to be a slim white afab person with masculine style to be nb and it’s annoying that that’s the only way media tends to get at it, however uhhh

    Anyway, got to the heart for the first time in slay the spire. I mostly got really lucky, there were a lot of turns where I did not really understand what was happening with the interactions between my cards and powers and artifacts.

    I got a recruiter email the other day, which claimed they had been given my details by "an existing client".

    Unsure if that's bollocks or if someone that left recently name dropped me. It's almost enough to make me sufficiently curious to respond.
