Into the nineties

A long time ago way back in college, I heard this mix on Ministry of Sound’s Chillout Sessions and couldn’t for the life of me figure out what one of the track was called.

Fast forward a couple of years, one of my account directors who happened to be some old school underground jungle drum and bass dude, happened to have a copy of that mix (like I don’t even remember how we started talking about it) but it was like… an untitled mp3 file.

1.5 decades later I find out the mix is curated by a “DJ Sean” and the track I really wanted has no name and essentially has been lost to history.

The universe is just openly mocking me now.

The duality of nature

It’s tragic that I love teaching alignment yoga but I abhor the word alignment so very much in a corporate setting.

Performative Management

TIL I learned a few new phrases: deflecting responsibility, passive delegation, manipulative framing, and prioritizing optics.

I basically fed ChatGPT my email thread and asked it to analyze the behaviors of the people sending the email.

My EOY review will be all about asserting boundaries and protecting my mental health.

End of year chaos

BTC hit $100k earlier today. It’s a crazy timeline!

I’m still poor though so here I am bitching about the most latest work thing: a Personal User Manual. That’s right you disingenuous fucks, let’s just skip the nuance of building relationships and assume that reading a manual replaces the organic process of learning how to work with someone.

High pitched cat screaming is my spirit animal

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
