Year: 2025
-
All Ready?
A question everyone has been asking for weeks: “Are you ready for school to start?” Well, sure, except for this one thing that would literally prevent our child from being allowed to attend.
-
Work Family
We’re so close to AI being our functional digital butler where no one will have to ask a fellow human to do this kind of thing.
-
Charming Leadership
This is nice to hear, because I don’t have much charm or personality, and I want more role models like this.
-
No Really
I met someone with this last name recently and wondered how often they get Dad-joked about their name.
-
Aha Moment
She ran into the room, didn’t search at all, and exclaimed “aha” as if she’d discovered him. It was perfectly convincing and very efficient, as her brother popped right out of his very good hiding spot. Real outside-the-box thinking.
-
High Value
Another case of higher ranking not necessarily being a positive.
-
Don’t Run
The security training had a (hopefully?) mock image of a dialog box with a single button option “Don’t Run”. I guess there’s only one thing left to do.
-
In My Image
I’m quite fortunate that my kids don’t throw up nearly as much as I did as a child – none of them inherited my motion sickness for basically all forms of transport (and I mostly grew out of it).
-
Semantic Sticks
This was said with complete sincerity. Apparently “drumstick” doesn’t classify as a “stick” despite the seemingly obvious name clues.
-
Another Year
It may not be the most meaningful anniversary I have every year, but I still use my work anniversary as an excuse to get a bunch of unhealthy treats “to share at the office” (but also for me to eat).
