Next week I have some big projects I need to get done. Today, I brought a dozen doughnuts in a big pink box into work. Pilfered my prefered variety before announcing it on Teams.
This is called Coworker Bribery.
Buys a dozen doughnuts to take to the office tomorrow.
Eyes a dozen doughnuts and ponders how I can refold the box to hold half a dozen.
My latest on Substack.

I’m just commenting because I want to know what the solution eas to separating the barrels
Good morning.
I admit that I stopped signing petitions on ActBlue and the like because I’m tired of months and months of spam emails and text begging for money from orgs and people I have never heard of. If I wanted my contact info sold for a premium, I’d at least like to get a date out of it.

I've started working on a novel as a writing exercise and I have realized that I will need to create not one but two other languages that will inform everything from legal titles, town/distract names all the way down to counting systems and recipes. The nerd in my brain is tap dancing in glee.
Learning a second language can be hard. Signing up for Pre-K and 3-K is easy.
Go to myschools.nyc to apply today. Deadline is tomorrow at midnight!
Next door neighbors are having a kids birthday party.
I've got 30 6-year olds hyped up on sugar 100 feet away.
Help.
I had a 157 day Wordle streak... until this morning.
Grumble.

Good afternoon
It’s a skill.
I shouldn’t be buying more books. But I do.
Coworker: What are you eating?
Me: Orecchiette with portobellos, fennel and bacon.

After giving up my cooking career, I went back to EA work. As I'm staring down retirement and probable poverty, the lemon in the paper cut is AI. (Oh and I hate being called a secretary)

I’m old enough to go to bed at 7 , right?
Was over 70 in SF today so I packed up the laptop & headed to the Castro to try to find a coffee place to do some writing before a beard trim but everyone else in SF had the same idea. Not a free seat in 5 places. Decided to walk around & enjoy the weather anyway before it returns to normal.
Good evening.
Bought these at the Ferry Building last weekend and they just popped open today.
I get it. I’ m probably going to have to do this too in the next week. The miserly spendthrift in my head is grumbling
I hadn't realized how much I talk to myself about food. I just finished lunch and was muttering "That made me very happy. Happy indeed." and a coworker heard me and now thinks I'm weird.... ok, weirder than he previously thought.
