People who put in open shelving in your kitchen for dishes and cups never owned a pet. No way am I leaving those exposed to pet tumbleweeds.

My credit union changed the expiration date on my debit card to a different year despite the fact I have not changed cards (its more complicated than that) but I keep getting emails about expired cards tied to accounts when it really hasn’t and it’s slowly driving me mad.

The Court ruling today is terrible but expected. I will just gently remind everyone that the election hasn’t happened yet. We shouldn’t assume the worst outcome as a foregone conclusion. That only encourages more apathy than many are already feeling.

In a webinar about grace in the workplace and it’s a little tone deaf and surface level. Does your staff feel unappreciated or are they overworked and underpaid? A chocolate box, a thank you sticky note, or work grace journal is not going to fix that.

New coworker is going to be on Jeopardy next week. What are the odds she answers “as big as a horse” at some point? 🤞
Husband and I eating dinner while Wheel of Fortune is on and in the final round the contestant guesses “as big as a horse”. The answer was obviously “as big as a house”. I shout out “who says as big as a horse?‽” only to see it was one of my coworkers at the time. 🤣

Day before vacation is when everyone is at their most annoying. It’s less about them and more about my short fuse. And confirmation I needed a little time off.
