Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Can we not be logged into the board on multiple devices?

I keep having to re-log in.

msbelle, if I log into another device, I'm logged out on every other device too.

Yes, same. Fortunately, it always pre-populates so it doesn’t take a minute.

On the plane and heading home.

Great seeing old friends from Kenyon, Josh’s family and his wide circle of friends and colleagues.

I got to speak to speak on the second night. Got choked 2 or 3 times when the animal grief hit me but said my piece, made my tribute. Spoke from the head and heart.

Had a lovely stay at the Langham and Alibelle dropped homemade cookies off for me! (And they are so good.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, it really would be that simple if the content teams didn't have to work in Salesforce. Yes, really.

Thoughts and prayers. During my brief stint as Salesforce PM for [redacted] I spent so many commutes crying in my car that I eventually wound up taking a massive pay cut just to move to a new role far far away. Every time I encounter a new productivity workflow that is OBVIOUSLY just three Salesforce apps in a trenchcoat, I want to curl into a fetal position and hide. It is genuinely the worst.

“F continues to amaze me with her talent in all curriculum areas. She is the most engaged reader in the class by far and is totally committed to understanding every new math concept.”

Amazing! Totally brag-worthy!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I refer to software apps like Salesforce as “managerware”, because of how they shift work from managers onto their employees.

Tom, that sounds like a great weekend!

My team's Salesforce woes are related to its "publishing" workflow. Which Salesforce doesn't use for its own customer documentation.

Dear upper management: You maybe shouldn't be so gung-ho about AI transcription if you can't somehow stop Zoom from sending the full transcript to EVERYONE in the review meeting, even if some people were required to leave so their own performance could be discussed.

Oh wow Atropa that’s awkward.

Oh shit. That’s…something.
