Bad news: I’m not attending GUADEC

… not this year.

A few minutes before finishing my sponsorship email, I received a very annoying and sad news: my University appearently decided – without even asking my schedule – that I’ll make a presentation between August 14-18, otherwise they’ll kick me out.

I was already looking for paçocas (if you’re not aware, they may be the best brazilian popular sweet ever made) and gathering some money to pay out my beer debts with all the great people out there.

But no.

Feaneron is sad this night 🙁

    That’s… strange and unfortunate. 🙁 We have more flexibility about such things in the US….

    1. This is how things work here. It’s not the first time it happens, nor it’ll be the last.

    That totally blows. So sorry to hear that. On the positive side, you probably avoided alcohol poisoning from all the beers you deserve.
