2025 got me like
“Any TA knows that the Premier Pass at Animal Kingdom a shameful rip-off.
If no one within earshot of Josh D’Amaro is willing to say that, then I expect you will find someone who’s enough of a fool or enough of a coward to buy it. But it was never going to be me.”

Atlanta Ballet went to bat to keep their MARTA bus stop
Seeing they “fixed” it- with an every 60 min route
It’s a joke. We have gone from no train transfers with a 40 min service to requiring a train transfer and 60 min service.
I have no words for how exhausted I am for this process.

A prospective client called saying they needed a WDW planned for this coming Sat. - Weds.
I asked about budget, they said “we just don’t want to spend a million dollars” a few times.
PSA- this is not a helpful parameter ($3.3k was too much)

Sometimes I fall behind and I really need to be productive
But when I open my work laptop and cue up Girl Talk All Day you know things are absolutely desperate

For me, the crisis of personality that comes with parenthood is that as long as they’re <7 yo or so, you do not feel like a human being until they are asleep
My day begins at 9:15 PM
A time at which almost nothing *worth doing* - reading, hobbies, non-urgent work - has the ability to keep me awake

“If I could go back in time I’d tell younger me it’ll all be ok”

Sometimes your 4 yo is just making random things out of Lego
And sometimes he lines them up and goes “this one is Five Points, then CNN Center, Vine City, Ashby, then West Lake, and H E Holmes”
“Now I’ve got to do Georgia State. It has its own spoiler”
MARTA’s got a fan base, after all

I’ve got a family of 4 staying onsite at Walt Disney World for 5 nights in June, with 4 days of park tickets (using today’s promos and a strategic 1-Day MK ticket for the adults) for $2572.
The client replied to my email announcing their $961 savings saying they were confused.

Thinking about today’s episode of The Daily-
it’s so, so damaging for our democracy that our collective hunger for honest reflection on what happened during COVID- l the interventions, their efficacy & costs, and the decision-making & communication around them- cleaves exactly along political lines

Just had the unfortunate discovery that conference tickets have to book Lightning Lanes day by day, not for the length of their ticket
Tiana’s, Seven Dwarves, and TRON already sold out, too
I really can’t take on anymore off-site clients, this is such a PITA

When I tried to teach myself piano in college, I asked a friend to show me Take It With Me & he showed it to me in F major, & it was the only song I learned how to play

I posted one amazing month in Jan. on MARTA, & the fates are laughing
We’ve had 3 bus cancellations in 12 bus transit days, 1 service outage on MARTA where I had to walk from Edgewood to Decatur, & now a train delay was so bad that even an Uber won’t get my kid to class on time.
