I thought I wouldn’t last the 24 hours just sipping on coconut water. It wasn’t actually too bad compared to the bowel-prep cleanse that came after.
“Pleasant passion fruit flavor” my ass.

Terrible human being award
We recently hired a couple of people (who were already working for us) who were let go from their previous agency.
The douchebag who let them go tried to invoke a poaching clause.
You’ve already fired them and now you’re trying to stop them from getting a new job?
It’s not as if they quit. YOU. FIRED. THEM.
What kind of a next level salty tool are you really?
“You’re too talented to just be maintaining a website. You should realize your potential… elsewhere.”
Was not expecting to hear this today, but it’s probably something I needed to hear for awhile now.
Sometimes we create things that seem like rubbish at the time.
But strangely, they come in handy and swoop in for a creative rescue a few weeks and/or months down the road.
It’s a fine line between psychic powers and a mental illness of compulsive hoarding.
There is a line that’s uttered in Interview with the Vampire that goes, “Every human thought boils down to three things… I want food, I want sex, I want to go home.”
It’s so primitive and simplistic but amazingly accurate.
I was so close to sending this back to the rando cold email (from someone with arguably one of the most punchable faces I’ve seen this year) trying to sell his amazing SEO services to help fix our topical authority:
Is this what they mean when they say greatness is the product of irreconcilable despair? If so, I would like to be average forever.
I lasted 11 days into 2023 without wanting to stick an axe into anyone from the other team at work.
It’s going to be a long month.
Happy New Year everyone!
Over two decades in tech and I’m still running into insecure manbabies who are petty and whiny as they are unkind. Just to be fair, I’ve run into the female equivalent as well but that’s currently at a grand total of one (maybe two?).
These people with small crayon energy ending up in management roles are the reason why we absolutely cannot have nice things in the world.
We collectively suck and need to do better.
And that is their collective hate towards people in marketing. I finally understand why.
