The joys of CONsulting

We recently hired a project manager who apparently isn’t going to manage projects (baffling, right?). She’s just supposed to “set us up with Agile methodology” and provide us with the right tools. It’s not a workshop, it’s a 3 – 6 month contract.

Have I been working incorrectly my entire life? I thought working actually required doing the work…

Nepo baby blessings

Was talking to an ex-coworker who’s currently having some damned good craic right now and he had only this to say about our resident nepo baby:

“May the roads rise up to meet his face.”

We miss that man so much every day.

Shadow daddies

Me: I went down the booktok route over the weekend and I’m amazed at how many stories have been told about faeries fucking across the centuries till they are blind
P: A classic love story
Me: With a shadow daddy of course
Me: Dark, broody, arrogant, seemingly made of night itself
P: That’s how most women refer to me
Me: You look too much like a goody two shoes
P: I’ll have to grunge up my look a bit more, I guess. Damn my beautiful blue eyes making me look soft
Me: They need to be more wicked
Me: Shadow daddy flair
P: I know… instead they’re just dreamy
Me: Dreamy is good for one book, eyes that sparkle with mischief and touched by the sensual void of the endless night gets you the other five
P: I only need one book to impress… those lame shadow daddies need five

Admitting is Step 1

I was at Pilates earlier and the instructor was talking about lighter springs and I said, “I’m okay, I like easy!”

Without missing a beat she goes, “You don’t like easy, you’re trying to do a pull-up. People who who like easy don’t do those things.”

Telegram temptation

My Monday’s been really productive. HBU?

Me: Man some of these emoji reactions are questionable af
Me: Hot dog and strawberry one 100000% sus
Me: When would you EVER use that
P: There are very few food emojis that wouldn’t DIRECTLY be used for innuendo
Me: Like that hot dog is SLIDING up and down in the bun
P: …oh come on now!
Me: Strawberry had some weird turn/squirt animation
Me: Like WHY
P: Jesus… now I’m just checking out sexualized food emojis
P: There goes my day

The myth of anonymity

Like how on earth is “anonymous feedback” supposed to work in a tiny team setting?

Do we have to write each other’s feedback to obfuscate the original author? Or do we all tell ChatGPT to do a rewrite so there’s just one voice?

2024

The end of this year would mark two decades of World of Warcraft charting my life into strange places.

Goddamn, I’m old.
