Manage a Team of Insurance Quants by day, Editor Fairfield Scribes, Sheep Herding with my Border Collie (Hope), and Medieval Scenarios & Recreation by night
There are people who want everything organized and structured. And then there are the people who want to argue against having any type of organization or structure because they can find some scenario where it doesn’t work perfectly.
And these people are always on the project you are trying to lead…

One of the Project Managers based out of India is so incredibly polite in his emails when we make a mistake that I kinda wonder if he is really incredibly condescending and sarcastic, and we Americans are just too dumb to notice.

Somebody online compared where we’re at in the USA to Revenge of the Sith, and ever since when I read an incoherent MAGA post, the voice in my head sounds like Jar Jar Binks.

For 30 years our marriage has been changing. Stress and circumstance have been a hammer and anvil forcing us to change and adapt. But it’s also an #involution. where we go back to the day we gazed into each other’s eyes with complete love and said, “I do”.

imagine being born on a generation ship, launched in desperation toward a faint radio signal in the vastness of space, everyone you have ever known spending entire lifetimes hurtling toward hope and a prayer, only to arrive at earth and learn some guy gave your home star to his wife for her birthday

Very annoying the way spell check “helps” me look like I don’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re”.

Real men don’t whine about lacking masculine energy.

Modern IT is just weird. You have project zoom calls with project managers, business analysts, subject matter experts, testing, maybe an architect, maybe a data modeler, maybe a relationship manager…and then every once in a while you have a developer who is doing the actual coding.

Just heard an older gentleman refer to one of his cronies as “a walking eight track tape.”
Politely smiled and nodded, but still have no clue what that means.

Heard yesterday that one of the teams I work with has a 2025 goal that starts with “work with (my name) to improve outcomes for 2025…” Day later and still trying to figure out if they really want to improve something or this is IT speak for “this dude is a high maintenance Disney princess…”

You ever open a can of soda at work and the sound makes you wish you were cracking open a can of beer instead?

Any other folks from threads find it much easier to find that post you scrolled by and now want to find again?
