I do stuff. You know - taxes, AI, juggling burning chainsaws. Stuff.

(Also Microsoft MVP in Power Automate and M365 Apps. Yes, I’ve heard of Copilot)
I set up Hinge again and let the AI pick the best pictures. One of the pictures it suggested was of @sparklecate.bsky.social so obviously it has good taste…

So. It turns out that you CAN drop your keys down the gap in the elevator

I feel like the person that said “making friends as an adult is hard” never tried joining a cult.

Today I spent four hours going through all of my Auntie’s paperwork but my soul was crushed when I got to the last item - a contract for a timeshare purchase…

This weekend I left my house and got stuck in traffic. And that’s why I will never leave my house again.

Are people in Vegas contractually required to say “but it’s a dry heat” after they throw out some ridiculously high temperature?

I brought my purse bacon and my purse broccoli in my carryon an didn’t get stopped at security. So…

1) Can you bring “purse bacon” on a plane and 2) would “purse bacon” make up for the “purse broccoli” that you also bring?

Song request - me n’ @iragilligan.bsky.social are rocking the 90’s grunge look for the ENGAGE party next week (let’s just say there’s some plaid and childhood memories involved).

I’m making us a playlist to get into the vibe. What is one song that most definitely should be on there?

I might be fated to hate broccoli forever, despite my best efforts….

I’ve been consistently going to the gym for two weeks to lift weights which means I’m now at the “New Gym Phase” where I start randomly flexing at strangers to either attract or scare them off. You wouldn’t understand, it’s a gym thing.

Who decided that a “serving” of broccoli was a whole cup. I’m not going to do anything, I just want to talk to them…

My dog apparently offended a family of crows so much that I’ve now had to start leaving offerings to appease them. This was after I got dive bombed twice in one day. ME. Not the dog. ME.

This morning I did my 5k training in the rain. This wasn’t disclosed in the original program, that there might be *inclement weather outside*. I would like a refund.
May 29, 2025 at 8:59 PM
Today I started the first day of a lifting program. And everything was going great until we did ‘Wall Squats’ and I knew that the creators of this program were cruel people who wanted nothing but misery.

The Wall Squats were the first item after the warm up, btw.

Anyway, I feel great.

Week 4 of 5k training. What’s my secret? Telling the app that the last run was too easy so it skips me ahead

There’s nothing like the shocked exclamation of a bystander at a store at my pants size to reinforce that 90’s body dysmorphism. If anyone needs me, I’ll be reading an Ally McBeal cookbook.

If you’re confused about all of the wacky ‘Words of AI’, may I suggest the amazing IBM Technologies YouTube channel?

The videos are short and they use a see through white board. It’s easy to go back through a video again for a refresh.

Had my first crypto scammer. I could tell it was going to be a scammer of some kind because the conversation sounded like a script. Plus, he made sure to mention how into BTC he was and asked if I liked investing too. Goodbye Engineer at Architecture from Prague that did home decor work

One more coffee date and I’ve got my BINGO and I’m deleting the app.

So. I found out what Kubernetes was. And I’m kind of disappointed in myself for caving so easily.
May 20, 2025 at 9:32 PM
This is my 3rd year watching MS Build (this year from the comfort of my laptop) and I still don’t know what Kubernetes is and I’m too afraid to ask (because someone might try to tell me)

I feel like a lot of y’all follow me for content about AI, so I also feel like I should tell you that Google announced a tool called Alpha Evolve that can self-correct and learn while building software.

…if I don’t get some better tax software updates by the end of this year…

I have two men on Bumble who have commented on my hilarity. And left it at that. I try another comment to kick off the conversation… short response.

Am I…. What is supposed to happen here? Do I have to do all of the conversation? Both sides?
May 18, 2025 at 12:08 AM
I always think it’s weird when dudes open up with “you’re so beautiful, why are you on Bumble?” Um, so I can meet men that make me question my decision-making ability, obvi?
