Apparently some EMF attendees are finding our emails counting down to the event stressful and scientists are yet to invent equipment capable of detecting my violin
@jonty I just cackled so loudly I fear my neighbours will be wondering what’s going on.
@jonty at least you know they are reading them, which is pretty great
Because apparently some people are reading this as me mocking people: This is a joke. Stress is obviously subjective and incomparable.
Context: Many of us within the team have been working extremely hard on EMF for almost a year, and are now full-time on it and barely sleeping due to the sheer amount still to be done. Within the org posting the amount of time to the event is considered rude, because it causes people to panic.
@jonty my fear is less of EMF and more of the Relentless March of Time
@jonty with my time blindness. The emails are useful.
I did work an event where a few people were being "helpful" and posting a daily countdown in the staff chats.
They were quickly informed that they were in fact..... Not helping!
