I'm sorry, what???

Me: My spouse...
Them: Your husband.
Me: ... My Spouse.
Them: Yes, your husband.
Me: SO MY SPOUSE...
Them: OK, your husband.
Literally why.

Looking at my to-do list I wrote like an hour ago and spent a good five minutes trying to figure out what "who is streets?" means. I make things really easy for my future self.

Other people using AI making my life harder? No way, what a shock.

Happy 65th, Steven. We miss you.

Unironically was asked "but is anyone thinking about safety for drivers" in a meeting this evening

I actually do not enjoy going to Zoo Tunes, but we missed The Beths in Seattle last year so I will take this opportunity for redemption.

Really makes me believe in the importance and effectiveness of the whole thing 🙃

Apparently Sac does draw the line at sweatshirts though, made me take it off which SEA did not
