The most Midwest thing that's ever happened to me is that we got invited to dinner at a pastor's house. They served ground beef tacos with ketchup. No salsa or hot sauce or even pico. Ketchup.

This year I achieved something awesome and launched an LLC and pretty successful side business selling stickers for planners and journaling on Etsy. Now I'm a prisoner of my own success and feeling EXTREMELY burned out.

This year no one NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON has asked to "circle back after the holidays." Instead we're cramming as much in as possible BEFORE the holidays

Thanksgiving food is so weird because it you don't like green beans, you just have meat and starch for dinner (unless your family is fancy and allows other veggies)

It always feels like such an insult when IT creates a ticket for your incident and you see they rated it Priority Low.

you know what I hate? That cold-email negging tactic that's like "Hey, your website sucks in this very specific way. I'll do a FREE 20-minute review and show you how this very specific service I sell can make it not suck!"
When you start by telling me how much I suck at my job NO THANK YOU GO AWAY

Listening to someone in the office talk with their boss about a real work problem at 4:50 pm and let me say, I'd be flipping tables. Don't bring me new tasks at 4:50. 4:30 to 5pm is for closing out the day and looking busy ONLY.

Did you guys have to diagram sentences in English class? I was weirdly SO GOOD at it. Sometimes I just want to diagram some sentences for fun.

I am now on attempt number 3 to get my business account verified by TikTok. Last time I sent scans of the articles of incorporation I received from the Secretary of State but they rejected them because they had to be full color (the copy I got IN THE MAIL is black and white, idk what to tell them)
