@Jackiemauro We used to work together at CMU. Well, I worked for you, more accurately.

@Jackiemauro A while ago,. I was then in charge of PhD computing

@sullybiker this is so cool! I feel like I came to you with some awfully abused computers 😂

@Jackiemauro You might be thinking of Sean or Micah

@Jackiemauro They both got swept away in the covid layoffs

@sullybiker oh no that’s terrible! I bugged Micah a *lot*. I’m really sad to hear that. But it’s cool to connect w you here!!

@Jackiemauro I was very pissed off about it. He's okay though, I saw him at our late director's wake and he's great

@sullybiker yea that is messed up. But I’m glad he’s doing alright.

@Jackiemauro Did you know Melanie? I kind of remember you two in the same time frame, but time tends to make the memories muddled

@Jackiemauro She brought me chocolates on her last day. The only person that has *ever* done that

@Jackiemauro Most of you were, honestly. It was a little different post-pandemic. We lost a bit of the familiarity because people tend to stay home a lot more.

@sullybiker that’s such a shame. It was a really good community. Hopefully it gets built back up as people get more and more back to normal (whatever that is).

@Jackiemauro It's much the same aside from that. Did you ever know Uttara? She came back as Faculty, which is a first for me.

@sullybiker love Uttara. I think that’s so cool that she came back. I need to get back in touch with her.

@sullybiker can’t you get everyone over there onto mastodon??

@Jackiemauro I thought about making an instance but there's so much red tape

@Jackiemauro It's something I'll probably revisit when it's quieter, sometime in 2070 probably 🧓

@Jackiemauro She's so nice. She wrote a nice thing about us to some faculty people at a time we really needed it.

@sullybiker that’s cool. I mean, you guys were always the best so I’m not surprised. But I’m glad.

@Jackiemauro We're expensive and so always have that fight.
