“If you rearrange the letters of the word ‘listen,’ it spells ‘silent.’” - Tania Israel

Today my work colleagues got a glimpse of my superpower. I just took a new third-party vendor to the next level with one out-of-the-box suggestion. I see things differently & people listen.

Today’s overheard wisdom: “In a world that wants us to whisper, I choose to yell.” - Luvvie Ajayi Jones

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the words “cockfighting,” “baby mama,” and “bus demolition derby”used in the same paragraph before.

I’m biting back from saying, “Risqué and Risky aren’t the same word!” Don’t ask.

Today’s aura:

“Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” - Elizabeth Stone

I cannot describe the shock and delight I have by successfully creating an AI workflow that actually works!

Suffield, CT. Don’t even.

Did you know airlines are dealing with rising fuel costs by canceling flights last-minute before passengers arrive at the airport? Yeah, me neither.

There is a moment when YOU can make a difference. It’s this one. And the next. And the next…

Happy Mother’s Day for those who celebrate & Snoopy hugs for those who—for whatever reason—no longer do.

Today’s overheard wisdom (translated from Yiddish): “G-d gives burdens…but also shoulders!’

Well, my new job is building courses in Canvas so there’s that.

Being treated like an adult in my new job makes me realize that I wasn’t micromanaged in my old job, I was nanomanaged.

At the gym. May the Fourth be with you!

My brain does not know what to do with this.

When I am discombobulated, I realize the rest of the time I am bobulated as my default state.

Instant earworm & smile! #awesomesigns

Coolest clock!

First day at the new job and this is by my desk. A very good sign!

The fact that I just gave computer IT advice means the world is at an end.

I have a Charley horse in my foot. A Charley hoof? PS: ow ow ow ow

Today’s wisdom: #awesomesigns

I’ve been listening to AI experts for 3 days and can safely say that no one really knows what’s going on.

“Hail, hail, the gang’s all here!”

Kiddo: “I wish there was a transcript available for an audiobook.” Me: … “That’s a book.”

There are few things as perfect as a freshly-baked, warm Krispy Kreme glazed donut.

Black squirrel bouncing on the rooftop garden of The Cottage Cheese. How picturesque can you get?

For all those paying attention—we’re the lucky ones! #awesomesigns

Patterns of magic.

I cannot adequately describe the irony and horror of listening to the introduction of Michael Moore’s “Here Comes Trouble” as he waxes about George W’s war being “Orwellian.” Hold my beer.

I may have died and gone to Diner Heaven. #DKDiner

Today was nothing that a soak in a hot tub and a hot sake couldn’t cure.

I'm just glad the astronauts weren't around to see us this week, we were not at our best

A reminder to all fighting the good fight: #awesomesigns

Given today’s “presidential screed” all I can think of is Heather Cox Richardson’s quote: “The final scene of a narcissist is always a descent into madness.”

Fave bit from the article I'm reading: "To put it bluntly... a lot of what’s in people’s heads sucks...[and] LLMs have no way to distinguish the stuff that sucks from the stuff that doesn’t."

The fae aren’t trying to trick you, they’re just neurodivergent and use very exacting language.

Dancing in the eye of the storm today.

There are days… #awesomesigns

I don’t say I want a job that makes X, I say I want to make X income. There is a difference.
