That’s A Nice Chair
Total strangers were taking chairs for a spin in the office space they were going to be in after the office move. Unfortunately for them, people are attached to their specific nice chairs, and those chairs will not be inherited with the room. Also, no points for subtlety.

Feel Good Code
I used to collect quotes at the office and display them on post-it notes. Thanks to a co-worker for saying this one (nearly verbatim).

These Cute Problems
Seriously huge props to the people who step-up and make the Girl Scout cookie sales happen for my kids’ troop.
-
Invisible Girl Scouts
They’re just kids! The girl scouts do receive specific guidance to try to prevent their being a nuisance like to not ask people on their way into the store and not to hound people who don’t want to buy. So if you just say “no, thank you” you should be able to escape unscathed.
-
Optionally Polite
Just think of all the wasted tokens on Pleases and Thank Yous. Maybe the AI would consider it more polite to cut out that extra noise.
-
Definitely Never
Why wouldn’t I fully trust the AI? It’s not like it’s ever blatantly lied to… oh yeah.

Personality Gauge
Similar to how you might not know how to say a word because you’ve only seen it written down, you might grab the wrong word in a phrase you don’t use very often. And maybe only saw written down.

I’m In Charge
After so many times of us saying the eldest kid is in charge (if a parent isn’t around), it’s no wonder our youngest kid was so excited for his chance to finally be the eldest kid in the house.
-
Months In Advance
Nothing like moving out a super visible disruptive deadline to highlight that you’re behind schedule. But I don’t mind avoiding my commute a few extra weeks. Go ahead and delay it even further!

You Should Build It
Hmm. This project is like a thing your team has done before. You guys would probably already know what you’re doing.
