In a couple of days, I will have formally spent 13 full years with Rappler and will be starting year 14.

Been there officially since November 4, 2012. :)

if you start a chat message with "Hi" and leave it at that with nothing else, I am not replying to you. I don't have time to chase what you want. If you need something, JUST WRITE IT.

Oh I’m so sorry, I may have confused you, in fact a stupid person, with someone of just slightly below-average intelligence.

Not to worry, I am not likely to make this overestimation mistake again!

Am I wrong to want to retire. Recently I've been getting some neat opportunities at work to do some challenging things but I have this persistent, reoccurring thought that I'd like to be done with the office politics, people not caring about improving their work or keeping things tidy or following rules, it's all just too much. I keep thinking how pleasant it would be to simply just take care of myself and my little corner of the world. #workthoughts #retirement #peaceofmind

Zoom call for work. Someone asked me if I had any exciting plans for the weekend. I don’t, so I said “nope”. He seemed genuinely stumped with my response. I mean, I’m not going to make something up. This is a pretty common question at the beginning of meetings on a Friday. Do people actually lie when asked this question?

So… just tried using AI to help me complete a GDPR quiz I needed to do for work. It got 70%.

My motivation for doing this is morally questionable. But the results are interesting.

I had a revelation last week. Me being me, I was super stressed about every day that passed being unemployed.

And then I realised (with the help my the budget my husband did and some other observations), it’ll be a long time before I get an extended break like this again.

So I reframed it to be: I’m taking an extended work break to recharge before diving back into my career and I’m now enjoying* being untethered for a while.

*Enjoying it maybe a little too much

The difficult bit isn’t building the empire, it’s running it once it’s yours. #workthoughts
It appears to be a law of the universe that whenever the word "assign" or "assignment" get truncated on my screen for whatever reason, I never end up with "as", "assi" or "assig," it's always just ass. #WorkThoughts
SILOES: Good option for grains and missiles. Horrible option for company cultures. #workthoughts #business
