I need to complain about something I can’t talk about so I’m not going to use my words I’m going to use Big Birds. In no particular order, my last few days at work have been:

okay I feel like its been enough time since the Widow’s Bay finale to say this, but Jeff Hiller’s face, walking back into the bunker after watching those films, was the most terrifying part of the entire show. (complimentary)

as far as I’m concerned, the fact that multiple plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs have told my husband that he has “kind eyes,” is the greenest flag there is.

you ever think about how manufactured pearls are made by intentionally adding an irritant inside an oyster? that the oyster is reacting to something harmful and covering it in layers to protect itself and we do it on purpose because the end result is pretty?

Astrology for Engineers: - Mercury in retrograde in Cancer: check for misconfigured alerts -Mars in Gemini: your mean time to ack may decrease, spend that time problem solving. -Moon in Virgo: clean up the files on your desktop, close all your tabs. maybe even give the ol’ girl a restart.

I love you central air conditioning. I love you ceiling fans. I love you little fan on my desk pointed at my face. I love you little portable fan I keep in my bag. I love you wearable fan I can have around my neck.

I love when I know I need a break. And I haven’t taken a break. So my body decides, it is time to break. Then I have to take a break. But it’s not a good relaxing break. It’s my body falling apart. I’m not sure if this is a feature or a bug.

why am I putting in effort to analyze data and provide insights when coworkers are using AI to do the same task in much less time. does the output have the same value? I don’t know how to prove that my hours of cognitive work is in any way worth the time and energy it takes in comparison.

idk it seems to me that we should investigate anybody saying shit like “I don’t care if he might be a rapist, he’s still a good candidate” about Graham Platner. the gentlemen doth protest too much, methinks.

Believe Women is an epistemological stance. It doesn't mean you assume that every single woman is telling the truth and women never lie. It means you understand that in the system that we exist in, there's much more risk and pain for women coming forward about abuse than there is anything to gain.
