Called Mum.
Asked her about her holiday. Asked her how she was. Talked about family drama [they love that shit].
I told her about my last meeting with a key gatekeeper for our tech start-up [CTO in one of the top 200 companies in Australia]. She told me how her new friend, Susan, is a computer "wiz" that helped her reset her router last week, and that I should present my idea to Susan for feedback. Note: Susan is a customer support officer my mother was connected to when she called the Netgear customer support hotline last week.
We confirmed I would pick her up from the airport on Tuesday. Said our farewells, and hung-up the phone.
That wasn't so hard at all.
- atmosx 13y agoHahaha awesome :-) I wonder if Knuth was getting the same kind of treatment from his mother ("You know there's is this friend of mine who wrote a program on her computer to keep their grocery store expenses! You should talk to them!"). It's amazing that even at this age she's trying to give an advice :-)
- ihaveajob 13y agoIt reminds me of this classmate of mine in college. His mom would overhear conversations when we were working on some programming assignment and every now and then she'd stop by to comment things like "make sure to check the pointers!" Funny lady.
