I'm hungover. No ragrets going last night. I didn't get up, but everyone was so welcoming anyway, they all said hello and asked about me ๐ญ I'm thinking of getting up next time and reading Unsent, but I hope to write something a bit less "trauma poetry" haha
Your very first one you posted here about the checkout chick was superbo and very relatable.
It was this one yeah?
I could not sleep, awakened afraid
Under the covers, I begged, I prayed,
For dawn, or death, for sleep to come
But mercy ungranted, I knew I was done.
For I committed a most awful crime
One for which we've all done time
Exactly the same or slighty changed,
Have we all made this same mistake?
I went to Woolies to buy a snack,
The cashier smiled, I smiled back
Items scanned, transaction completed
She said the words that have me defeated
Smiles and waves, "Enjoy your coffee and snack!"
"You too!" I regretfully cried back
Unthinking, unblinking, mid-step away
I died there, in Woolies, that very day.
That's the one!

Donโt forget the icebreaker activity first!
At this time its unlikely we will be able to go forward with this request as we are still crunching numbers. We will look into it at a further date.
Only if it's trust falls and slice of pizza instead of a bonus.

That sounds like so much fun!
If itโs bowling, Iโm in.๐ณ
I'll check the budget and get back to you on that one. ๐
I'd like to add "single source of truth" and "pain points" to our lingo.
Also, profound dissatisfaction was a term I used today lol long story
Iโm actually really curious to know how โpain pointsโ are a thing in IT
Someone touched a live wire?
Maybe the deep existential pain that comes from the computer installing updates right in the middle of an unsaved important task or presentation ๐ค
I think it applies broadly to any corpo project management. Translation from my perspective is: issues that need to be solved.
Ah! TIL, thanks.
Itโs definitely what the IT person at my work suffers, from all the dumb questions lol

I would firstly like to acknowledge Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise the continuingย connection to lands, waters and communities. I pay respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past and present.
The stand-up meeting this morning identified an opportunity to prevent a challenge to the company vision. Can we run up the flagpole the proposal to provide staff with a daily egg and confirm if this is an actionable priority?
Thank you for the gentle reminder. This message finds the egg well. ๐ฅ
From this morning I report: 2 touch base, 1circle back, 5 confirm, 9 flagged, 3 touched on, 10 capacity, 9 priorities, and 6 mentions of dyslexia or adhd
I think we need to start dt weasel words bingo
There was a good meeting bingo card doing the rounds back in the 80s. I kinda miss it. One of the words was 'elephant'. If you got it, that whole line scored double.

Shit that's a pretty good round up! I had artifacts a few times, granular x2, vision x2, your team is the heart of this company x 1 (get absolutely fucked), and I've heard the word meeting at least 2 dozen times so far today.
next time could you post a trigger warning
Funny because those were one of the things discussed
of course it was ...๐
