So delirious on lack of sleep, I updated my instagram profile for the first time in nearly 5 years

if someone only ever is exposed to me on that platform, they'll be so surprised at me suddenly sprouting a beard...

At some point, I'm going to start dropping acronyms/slang into my work Teams conversations, involuntarily

can't imagine what the response will be in the Indian office when I tell them the updated meeting time is "tbh actually bussin"

Once again made aware of how much data companies have on me - since the day I turned 30, youtube has been relentlessly pushing NorthernLion clips onto my homepage. And what's worse, I've been watching AND enjoying them.

I try to defy my pre-ordained fate, but I am at the whim of the machine...

Somehow, someway, at some unidentified point in time, the phrase "Ay caramba" snuck into my vocabulary and now it just APPEARS from time to time, without warning.

i'm having a bart summer i guess

No better feeling than putting a joke in the group chat and getting a full complement of laugh reacts. Feeling like I can conquer the world.

On two separate occasions in the last week, I have had to explain the term "sigma" to Boomers/Gen X-ers. I am the bridge between generations. A master of both skibidi rizz and "you're telling me you can't buy a house on just your salary?".

Actual conversation I had with beatrice today (about whether ee should go to our hotel or chill):

B: "So, what do you want to do?"

Me: "I think it's time for us to LOCK IN."

B: "... you know I have no idea what that answer means, right"

TIL that typing in the "Your Name stairs" on google maps gives you the actual Your Name stairs in Tokyo

Being hungover in a "we are quite corporate" office environment makes me feel very self-aware and alert to the suspicion of others. I must be careful with my every move. I am the workplace imposter. Among Us.

I feel like I've hit the "really likes boomer/dad games" stage of my life way too early

Any game that lets me just go "ok, ok, just hold on a minute, let me take a look at this" becomes more and more appealing with each passing year lmao

I dreaded it. I ran from it. But the Northernlion stream clips arrived in my YT algorithm all the same.

Just to clarify, in the most specific and precise verbiage I can manage:

process to improving at ffxiv:

1. blatantly lie about how good you are
2. join parties ahead of your level
3. learn at an accelerated rate from these parties, until you are up to speed
4. repeat steps 1-3 as many times as is required
