@Jackiemauro We used to work together at CMU. Well, I worked for you, more accurately.
No way! Wait, for me? When??
@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 Did you know Melanie? I kind of remember you two in the same time frame, but time tends to make the memories muddled
@sullybiker yes! We overlapped a year or two.
@Jackiemauro She brought me chocolates on her last day. The only person that has *ever* done that
@sullybiker AWW! She was cool. She was really thoughtful.
@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 🧓
@sullybiker hahaha ok I can be patient.
@sullybiker dang
