I started keeping a daily activity log so that I don't forget about all the little ephemeral things. Looking back, I've also got some entries like, "I didn't sleep well" and "I need to be a better person" and "oh look, the slough of despond!"

A co-worker said something to me and then said, "but don't tell anyone"...
A real gamble with me. I'd never betray a confidence, but there is 1/3 chance I forget what you told me, 1/3 chance I forget the part about not telling anyone, and 1/3 chance I forget about the conversation altogether.

Started a steel soul run of Silksong... And I died. I think I gotta pass on that option. Loved the game, but I die a LOT in games.

Whenever I'm in a large group of people and LLM/AI usage comes up I just want to crawl in a hole. I think it is pretty clear I'm on the losing side of this issue now... But come on, people! Can't you write your own shitty emails?!

Whenever some name or location that I'm unfamiliar with starss trending, I think: oh no, another mass casualty event.

It wonderfully captures my disgruntled feeling about some people that just annoy me without real cause.
