I just referenced something that comes next year and Spring 2027 just sounds a million years away, right?

Spencer Pratt’s mayoral candidacy is an ideal example of my theory that we shouldn’t show the faces or say the names of straight guys on (non-competition) reality shows. Nothing good comes from us learning who these guys are!

My desire to read 90s authors has lead me to navigating a little farther back and well now I’m reading My Sweet Audrina. Definitely read Flowers in the Attic at an inappropriate age. Somehow bypassed this one though.

Sarcasmed too hard so when I accidentally hit leave a teams meeting instead of stop sharing my screen, my last words to my co-worker were calling her a stupid head.

I’m watching a true crime documentary that I did not know had ties here. Unexpectedly a woman pops up my husband has dealt with. She’s notorious in our house but I absolutely would not have expected her to be in this series.

Turns out one night of great sleep does not make up for a week’s worth of shitty ones.

I love Chicago. Despite not living there for nearly 2 decades, it’s home. Forever will be. The difference between Chicago and where I live now is the people. I’ve befriended more people randomly in this city in a single night than years in my current home.

Kobo integrates Storygraph on its e-readers. Woohoo, love my Kobo and @thestorygraph.com . Suck it, Jeff. mashable.com/tech/rakuten... #ebooks #ereaders #readers #booklovers

I’ve been up since 2am essentially and my one in-person meeting got cancelled so I’m leaving early. I’m pretty certain this is what my eyeballs look like today.

Someone just asked a very specific, very basic question. The presenter couldn’t answer so he asked his colleague if she had any response and she just pleasantly responded “NOPE” This is comically awful.

In a training session and there’s pushback by faculty about the point of this software. The presenters responded with an uncomfortable amount of silence. It was painful.

Nobody should be scheduling meetings first thing in the morning on the day after a holiday weekend.

It’s been nearly 20 years to the day but I will be getting to see Rilo Kiley again soon. Coming full circle on a shitty year where I had to cancel our original tix to see rk back in September.

Currently watching Off Campus. It’s not great. But then again I do not understand the fake dating trope. It’s awkward in books but even more so on screen. It assumes a lot of stupidity of the characters and the audience.

My algorithm is handing me clothing with brine shrimp on it. Do I need ~ another ~ shrimp dress?

Introduce myself with 10 acts I’ve seen live? Y’okay New York Dolls Iggy and the Stooges Parliament Funkadelic Mavis Staples Dolly Parton Neutral Milk Hotel The Flaming Lips Brian Wilson Elvis Costello Frightened Rabbit

Serious people gettin’ nothing apparently.

I’m gonna need my former employer and my current employer to not buddy up. Add in a photo with our governor and that was a painful jump scare picture in my inbox this morning.

The ILLiad concierge service is so very worth the cost. Having them assist me with a complex shift in workflow is worth it to outsource my frustration.

Just got a standard follow up text requesting feedback on that appointment. Is maniacal laughter appropriate? In all seriousness, I provided professional but honest feedback. When asked if they could contact me and personally make it right, I just said it the interaction was not salvageable.

Spoiler alert: this appointment did NOT go well. I was gonna ask if there was a class in medical school on how to be an asshole but more likely they do not get enough lessons in patient empathy.

Showing the procedure in the waiting room of the doc’s office is a choice. A choice that brings my anxiety up exponentially.

Played chicken with the storm and lost. Big time. 🥴

People of a certain age, did you have something called "swish pants" growing up? I know I called pants that, but I cannot for the life of me figure out if it was a specific kind of pants or maybe a regional term. Do you remember them? Anything I google with the name doesn't look familiar.

I got a call that I got a fairly sizable refund for a medical procedure earlier this year. I’m flummoxed and kinda feel like I need to buy a lotto ticket cuz this shit never plays out this way.

Someone sent me a list of unhinged email signature and “Yours in utter defeat” Feels exception apt today.

One in every ten blueberries is why I have trust issues

I could have used this session on Managing at a Distance last year. Turns out it was far harder than I expected.

Filling out prep paperwork for an upcoming doc appointment I almost checked the box that said i was an IV drug user. I can only imagine the mess that would have created.

My afternoon is going to blow. Been up since 3:30, too. LFG?

Real live footage of me as someone asks me One. More. Question.

There are 5 different sessions I want to attend at the same time tomorrow. Three from the same conference. Two more from separate entities. One involves a presentation by a colleague. I also set aside tomorrow as an in service day for my staff. 🫠

My husband is currently listening to a playlist of songs of summer of 95. How can 94 be such a great year for music and 95 hands us Ants Marching and Runaround? This is a college dorm playlist for me and man was my taste shite back then.

I’m stupid I just told a colleague “I don’t mind spearheading a working group” on a thing. When I told my husband he just cackled. I know I’m stupid but it also needs to be done.

End of the day weird ass question got me tapped out. I had to pull in legal on that one cuz I’m all out of ideas.

Does anyone have any great resources i can share with staff that has helped with your time management?

Me watching the NBA playoffs: “I cannot watch a singing pile of beard hair.” Why is anyone tolerating this?

Became new best friends with a Hispanic grandma in Michaels lamenting over how much we miss Joann’s. It could be my librarian face. Or the fact old people love me. Or maybe just maybe we all need a little extra human interaction these days.

Plant people. I’m pretty sure the plant circled is a lilac bush. What is the plant to the left of it? It looks kinda like a lilac bush also not.

Phenomenal ad from the Columbus Metropolitan Library: Library Books Nearing $0 per Gallon 📚📜

Gas jumped a dollar overnight making my already dumb commute even dumber.

Pretty certain someone is cosplaying as Prince at this Lemon Twigs show.

Question in meeting: does the university have any guidance on use of this AI product? Answer: No. Use your moral compass. Sir. SIR. Have we learned nothing???

The presenter on AI just asked “who here communicates”. Maybe this is my beef. I have a whole undergraduate degree in communications. I value my brain. I find smart, educated people fascinating. I want someone to challenge me. I don’t want to outsource thinking.

AI marketing that says “you should use it because someone else is” is not a great strategy. At least not for me. Mama trained me for this. I won’t be jumping off the cliff just because someone else is.

Just had a faculty member with a pretty common name complain their authority record included their birth year citing privacy issues. That was a new one for me.

It’s our wedding anniversary. I woke my husband up with a joke about seeing a dude’s dong. He knew what he was getting into when he married me.

Turns out yard work makes the back hurt.

they could never solve the mysteries because they could never concentrate working in an open office

I KNEW what I was getting into with Jennette McCurdy’s “Half His Age” and I’m still skeeved out. Adult man having sex with a teenage girl. But teacher/student dynamic? Extra ew.
