How do you get your first job in Data Science? I MADE my first job. I was working at a hospital fixing x-ray machines. Looking at the reports my boss ran each month from our ticketing system, I thought, I can do better. #DataScientists #datajobs #DataAnalytics

Got hit by the Verizon layoff last week. I've have a feeling this will one day be a case study for MBA programs as to how not to execute a layoff. #Verizon #layoffs

Come back into the office, it'll be great. I am stuck in a room with at least 6 people continuously blowing their noses. I guess we learned absolutely nothing about stopping infection spread from this pandemic.

I was asked if I could email someone "all the data." When I asked for clarification: "you said you had a warehouse of data, can you email it to me." How do I reply without ending up in HR? #DataScience #database
