watching a modern cdrama to improve my language fluency and I'm about 10% better in business and social situations and 1000% better at devastating put downs towards my future daughter-in-law who is not the same social class and station as me

I'm afraid that I have -- once again -- dramatically overestimated my productivity and have fallen far behind on my goals.

But tomorrow, I'll totally be able to do all the things I didn't do today plus all of tomorrow's tasks, right?

the utter humiliation of trying to do my engineering leadership job after getting brutally roasted by my 5 year old this morning for not asking him to get ready for school "kindly, and with confidence"

ooh, what is the Mandarin equivalent of sizing tasks as "a snail, a quail, or a whale" or @mcfunley.com's "a frog, a dog, or a hog"

prepping for Business Conversations™️ in another language and i'm pretty sure i'm embodying the midwit meme by trying to learn the vocabulary and the dimwit and genius choice is to just say the English words with the local accent
