I was up most of the night. I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. I'd feel better if I'd gotten none.
That's nearly a full night for me.

I'm awake but shouldn't be. Have to fly all night. Need more sleep now to be ready for it.
Flights east are 'more of a pain' than west... since you lose hours the time change.
Some people can, some can't.. can you sleep on the flight?
I can't because I need a CPAP
If it wasn't for that, I could.Yea,... that is an issue,...

@scottalanmiller I have a CPAP and I can fall asleep without. I shouldn't but I can. I am getting an oral appliance next year.

Sucks SO much. ANd it doubles the amount of stuff that I have to carry for a normal flight, too.

I'm with you.. .4 hours is a minimum for me to function correctly, fortunately, two nights ago now.. i got exactly 4 hours of sleep. Last night out at 11:30ish and awake at 6:30...and my roommates are still sleeping 3 hours later.

Yup, SO light. For business trips anyway. Hence the tiny Chromebook as my only computer.

Well upgrading from what must have been only a backpack to a carry-on bag isn't that bad.

CPAP machines are much smaller now than what they used to be.

I know. My first one was twice the size of the one that I have now. Maybe on my next trip to Europe I'll pick up a new one. Or Mexico, I could be there in as little as six weeks.

Don't ask.... I just had to ban someone on a Facebook group (I got called a Whore and various other nasty thing). Someone asked a tech question about setting up a server for their new business. They don't need a server but he quoted out a Massive Dell server with SUPER expensive licensing etc. I back tracked the conversation and asked why they thought they needed a server. They need backups(sold them on Back blaze) and a place to store files (dropbox) and a CRM (zoho). Just saved them mega money. He got pissed off that a woman should never give IT advice when they have no clue.....

It doesn't matter what your gender is. If you can do IT, then you're proficient in my book. I'm sure there are plenty of women out there smarter than me in IT. Just blows me away that there are other men that are just narrowminded like this just because you were born a certain gender.

I run into this at least on a weekly basis. We have clients who will try to go around me on all kinds of stuff to talk to one of the guys. It's the nature of being a women in IT (ok honestly it's the nature of being a female in the work world).
