small companies might not "get" me

Back to the whole, "You need to get out & go to technical convention" thing I've been on.  Just got back from a one day event:  Advancing the Careers of Technical Women:  Seattle, held at Zulily's hq today.  Good event - yet again.  But most interestingly, there were women who knew women that I knew from other events.  Finally.  In all my years in tech, I haven't seen this kind of "circle" occur: where I went to introduce two people together who knew each other from other circumstances.

If you're not a woman you might not get the "hugeness" of this.  No.  Although I've spent half my life in tech, it's a rare event when I go to introduce a woman to another woman and they know each other.  I think today was my first day.  They also said, "Fuck it" with verve and freedom.  MY TIME HAS ARRIVED!
