I was supposed to go to bed at least two hours ago. I have to get up in three! And I didn't even complete all the things I need to complete before 4:30am! Argh! My mind is racing on all the things I'm going to have to scramble to do before 5:30 when I need to leave. Life... amirite? 😅😲😕😥😬😴
@Viss truly.

I've been at my current employer for 23 years (full time) as of today.

This is not a contest or even a comparison, I am genuinely curious:

- How long have you been at your current employer?
and/or
- What's the longest you've worked somewhere?

🤔

Spent last week out in the Seattle area of a conference. I had never been. I liked it a lot! Felt like some of the best things I like about Michigan, but rather than being spread out across the entire state, it was all in a 20 mile radius. The greens, the big city, the water, the hills, the construction...

What's everyone think about Seattle? Am I nuts? I liked it!

That's amazing. My eye for people is successful once again! Chicago would be a dream. I wound up in Denver because I was presenting. I see CFPs open on March 20th, coming up here. So maybe if I run an idea past the boss and get approval to run with it, maybe I'll make it to Chicago. Otherwise, probably not this time. We'll see!

I really feel like I've met you somewhere before, Brian. I mean, you're name is familiar to me for some reason (and not just because you're "Brian" (spelled the correct way...))

By chance, were you at EDUCAUSE in 2018?

@tkteo
That, unfortunately along with a few others...

Gun violence or threats of gun violence is the new "snow day" anymore here in East Lansing.

What are we doing to our kids? Sigh. 😕

This has been the longest February in the history of Februaries.

Long ago I was a HUGE bball fan. And, nowadays, if I had/have my choice of sports games to attend or watch on TV, it'd definitely still be basketball! But, still, I haven't really paid attention for quite a long time. Since the Pistons last won the NBA Championship. So 2003 I think?

Anyway, I caught the news that LeBron is now the all time leading scorer, which I think is amazing! But I had to have a laugh at the fact that the Lakers apparently now play at the "Crypto.com Arena"

Yes it's been named that for a year and change, that is how out of touch I am. But, still... That's just so, so hilarious. And sad. And funny. And sad. Hahaha. I'm still just sitting here chuckling over it!

Regardless, if you're into basketball, you've probably seen it since last night, but real cool photo attached in the Yahoo article below!

...Crypto.com Arena... Lmao
