Oh, no, Hil, that is a whole lot of bad!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good grief, Hil.

Ugh. This fucking world.
And I'm sorry to do this to you all, but I saw something yesterday that I can't get out of my skull and now you get to suffer too. Jillifonting for the timorous (though no Jillifonts are involved.)
I was on a Teams call and one person was in our Atlanta office, and the onscreen data showed that he was sitting in a "collabocus" room.
There's no other way to view that than a crime against society and the English language. It may have pushed me fully over to team Giant Asteroid (+ now with bonus newly discovered/desecrated Egyptian tomb!).

Happy belated birthday, Beverly!

I thought I was prepared for the Jillifont as a corporate American, but my face went on a journey of slow dawning horror.

I don’t even understand what that word is supposed to mean?? I am team “maybe it’s a typo”?
Hil that sounds like a shitshow nightmare. Of COURSE just when you need her most they get rid of the lady with institutional knowledge

Like meara, I can't even tell what they're trying to morph there!
Oh, god, no, I just got it. Collaborate and focus? My eyes are @@ down the hall and out the door. Good god.

Only okay if they are using an abacus

Ohhh Jen is more corporate that I am! I was with -t on the abacus.

I was, too, at first! But that didn't track, and then it just popped into my brain... with so much "ugh." Pretty sure I groaned.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The guy who does the equivalent job for geology is supposed to be doing it for both departments now, but that really makes no sense, since doing it for one department is a full-time job (plus overtime) to begin with, plus the geology department is on the other side of campus, so there's no way for him to do any of the stuff that requires physically being at the math department.
