@sindarina That was from a great time in my life when I was putting a lot of miles on the "International" part of International Woman of Mystery.
I had a closet full of suits and little black dresses and if you were lucky you could glimpse me in dark corners at various embassy parties.
I truly miss those days. (And that wardrobe!)
I'm watching a show that randomly reminded me of a job I had overseas that involved simultaneous interpretation.
...where, for reasons that had nothing to do with me, someone in my office put me on the spot to interpret in a high stakes situation with zero prep.
I nailed it, as it happens. But I was shaking so hard I literally almost fell out of my heels (work dress code) — not from fear but from the adrenaline spike.
@juergen_hubert Oh, no. That's terrifying. I am so, so sorry.
@juergen_hubert I'm so glad you'll be able to get it in time!
I'm sure you have a great mask. I hope you can get a good nasal spray like Enovid / NoWonder and that there's maybe even a possibility of ventilation and/or air filtration at the event.
I'm so sorry you're facing this risk and I wish you the very, very best in navigating it safely.

Vaccination is just like masking, in that even if you didn't do it for a while, you can pick it back up. You can always change course for the better.
There are so many cool people in the Fediverse.
I swear, when I get a new follow, it feels just like someone in elementary school has sat down beside me and offered to share their lunch.
Two people whom I adore are in an amazing relationship together.
They met on Mastodon. When I boosted a post by one of them, and the other one saw it.
Boosting on Fedi: It's more powerful than you think!
If consent matters to you, you have to be genuinely prepared to take no for an answer. And to respond graciously, so that person feels safe to say no the next time, too.
