Why are you surprised by the rejection reason? Speakers are allowed max 2 sessions, I'm doing a pre-con with Grant and a spotlight, so 'exceeded max allowable sessions' is about the only thing they could have said for the regular sessions. (well, that or 'not good enough')
Forgot you had one with Grant. I thought you just had the one from 24HOP
That makes sense. I like the limit of 2, otherwise it gets hard to rotate in new speakers.

I had loads of fun on the bus coming into work this morning....
So I start undressing. As luck would have it the spider is dislodged by my satchel and ends ...

Me too! Man, the story was described so vividly that I felt like I was on the bus. If only there were a youtube video for this one.

All of mine got rejected 'max allowed sessions'. Am a little bleak about that, though I understand the reason. I thought in previous years it was max 2 conference sessions + potentially a precon.I am surprised. A blanket rejection seems harsh. I know a few people mentioned they submitted 5.
IMHO, the tool ought to just limit you to 4 and not then reject you. Or when reviewing, just show the first 4.
I agree. Submit your best 4 abstracts first. I was disappointed that we couldn't select Gails DBA session due to her maxing out on other sessions. The system automatically changed the rejection to Max Allowed and we had no control on that.

One might kill me, but the other is pretty damned sure to do a lot of damage in a confined space, nevermind the whole 'eat one here and take the other home' concern... think I'll take the spider there.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

A spider minding its own business would be no big deal. A squirrel being chased by a terrier is already in a mood to bite if it feels cornered, which meant I couldn't just chase it back off of my leg, as it were. Those things carry all kinds of diseases that come under the heading of "more fun than I'm allowed to have".
Plus, squirrel claws are long enough to go through trousers and into skin a bit. It was moderately painful even without being bitten or having the thing continue up to my face.
So, I'd take the spider calmly exploring my arm event over the terrified disease-vector doing an adrenaline-climb up my leg event. But that may just be me.

I had to stop after the first one was "Insane Dodgeball Annihilation". No point in going past that one to anything else.

Sitting very quietly and not moving at my desk late one saturday evening, puzzling out how to format an inventory report and heard a scurring sound and the source was a field mouse coming out of the server rack.
Opened the rack door and on the floor was a mouse nest. The little bugger was using the rack as a heated home. Left it alone for it had not done any damage and besides it was nice to have some company when working that late on a Saturday. OH yea it was visiting a developers desk, he kept a bag of peanuts in the bottom desk draw.
