(he/him) Being inside the screamy box is my passion. English, Spanish, Monsters.

I've seen a dev team work their butts off for over two years (and I wasn't even brought into the project on the first casting wave). They deserve that this one REALLY takes off. Also, I deserve a tub of ice cream for being so patient about my NDA.

My good luck continues! Just noticed a spider jumped into my kettle and boiled itself to death in my coffee water I used it for very expensive coffee beans 😭

Okay. So the remodel process isn't over and I have a construction noise-caused headache. But we got to have dinner at a local Italian place at least.

I forget how insecure the average guy is. Sales clerk was looking for a way to gently let me know that the shades I was trying on were from the ladies' section. The average men's clothing and accessory section tends to be extremely bland and I'm not limiting myself to that 😂

Sunglasses with an ornate gold trim and vaguely purple leg endings, slightly red smoke tint on the glass.

I just had an AI agent call me to verify a few items. Being forced to speak with something you know is mimicking a living being is so disgusting.

Summer schedules mean earlier starting hours for me… and I keep forgetting to toggle my facial expressions on before arriving at the office…

A coworker did not just try to "you'll understand when you feel the need to have kids" me. Ma'am, I'm of prostate-screening age, I'm pretty sure I'd know if I wanted children.

I, for one, an grateful to GenAI in games. I have a tight gaming budget, and instantly discarding titles (especially expensive ones) means easier decisions and more indie games for me!

It finally happened. I made a service call for a printer despite my objections. We got a bill for a tech to come, look at it and say, "nothing's wrong, check the software," like I said would happen. But people at the office were adamant because they "aSkEd cHaTgPt aNd iT sAiD…"

Google must've gotten fed up with our lack of compliance and now "-ai" on search does not stop the useless AI Overview from showing up. Google alternatives, anyone?

Queso+Tortilla = Quesadilla Queso+Pajeon = Quejeon..? IDK what to call it but my husband looked at me like I was disrespecting ancestors across continents. I... think it's delicious.

Nothing like having to fill a clearly AI-generated survey asking to prioritize (effort vs impact) a bunch of financial features…a third of which aren't even applicable to our department. Then excitedly telling us they were gonna "copilot the results" to optimize how we work. [SIGHHHHH]

Update: She must've been told what happened! Today she had a mischievous expression and said, "kyō wa dō desuka?" offering cookies. …of all the languages 😂… "Kyō mō, kukkī wo nimai, onegaishimasu." I replied, showing two fingers to clue her in. The caretaker looked at me like "NO FUCKING WAY".

A special needs group sells cookies nearby. When I pay, the one that collects money—who was EXCITED to learn I'm Mexican—has been very accommodating and tries to speak to me in my first language. So far I've gotten, "gracias, ten buen día," "merci, bonjour," and "grazie". I'm moved and impressed 🤩

Thank you, everyone, for your birthday wishes✨ FORTY TWO. Daaaang… I ended up over-eating, giving myself indigestion, and now crashing after my stressful appointment…but now I am one step closer to citizenship! Once I have enough energy, I'll go back to auditioning 😈

Downside to being a former hairdresser: Absent-mindedly cutting your own hair for an important appointment, realizing muscle memory delivered an "extremely cool soccer mom" haircut instead of a wolf cut 🫤 I went into panic/fixing mode, should've taken pics. I looked fabulous.

"We use our salsa sauce for this one," he said, blissfully unaware of how close I came to becoming physically violent. Salsa sauce. Every fiber of my Mexican being is still howling, demanding revenge.
