Bottom of the barrel

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:

Small wins

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!

Petty

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?).

We collectively suck and need to do better.

Priorities

Someone else in my degenerate crypto chat thought I was a bot with a hot Asian chick profile picture.

Clearly as a woman, I took zero offense to the “bot” comment and only saw the “hot Asian chick profile picture” line.

People who only speak English

Why is it cool when other cultures slide in random English words into their sentences but when it’s the other way around, the people WHO ONLY SPEAEK ONE LANGUAGE become such dicks about it?

E.g., oh your English must be bad.

Inbreds ?
