Happy belated, Cindy!

Gud, I hope you can hear what folks here are saying. We value you and want you to have the good life you deserve.

Dana, we're hiring tech writers, just saying. Contractors, for now, but with intention to flip if they work out. I just had to let one go last week, unfortunately. She couldn't incorporate feedback at all and was just not a good writer. I don't feel bad about firing her but I feel bad she got through our hiring process. She had what looked like a tight resume and interviewed well so I don't know. The other 2 contractors we hired at the same time are doing great.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Long-distance tech writers? I think I'm permanently bonded to my couch now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, working with lisah sounds good. I mean, I'm assuming she's not the person who calls a 6am meeting to give endless updates for no reason??

Haha! Probably??

I do have a 15 minute standup with my team every morning but it's at 1045 eastern.

That sounds appropriate!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Board's been quiet today.

Our wings are not tired.

Indeed, people are more caffeinated at 10:45.

My son got a job! Rehired were he was fired from last year. He starts again tomorrow. This is very good news. I really don't want to support him into his 30s. I told him I would give him a ride.

Also, I have pretty green nails. I should take a picture.

My son got a job!

Huzzah! Let this one stick and flourish.
