DAUGHTER: I have to use the bathroom.
ME: *pulls into rest stop*
DAUGHTER: Thanks.
ME: Make sure you’re back in 5 minutes.

DAUGHTER: I don’t have a brother.
ME: Exactly.

If you change the ?utm_source param of a social link to a swear word, will it show up in some marketing person's slide deck when they present their monthly update to their bosses?

Robot Operator: We apologize for your wait, but we refuse to pay our Operators a fair wage, so never enough people are working here. Instead of accepting the blame, and fixing this, we tell the few people who work for us, they are simply not trying hard enough. Your wait will be 30 minutes to talk to an Operator who is about to cry, because everyone has yelled at them for having to wait so long. REMEMBER YOUR CALL IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US, but not in any demonstrable way.

I'm at that age

Another week I'm aiming to “get through”. I worry I'm going to “get through” one week after another until I'm on my deathbed. Would be good to pause and actually enjoy one or two weeks on the way.

@SwiftOnSecurity on my new hire onboarding training deck I present I have a slide that just says:

“Dance like nobody is watching, Slack like one day it’ll be read aloud at a deposition.”
