Yes, same. Fortunately, it always pre-populates so it doesn’t take a minute.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.)

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.

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 shit. That’s…something.

I mean it’s probably much much better that I don’t see that kind of thing as it would likely make me furious. Cause I doubt it’s everyone going “she’s the best whats the highest amount we can possibly justify paying her?” And because companies and capitalism are obnoxious (this year they took us from 1-5 rating to just 1-3 which doesn’t leave a lot of nuance!)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm so tired of having AI added to things or being told to figure out how to add it to something.
