Pronouns are a bit language dependent. I still don’t know what the right pronouns for me are in German and as a non native speaker I don’t even keep up with it when people use the ones I ask for or not tbh

(I have roller derby at 8 pm and it’s halfway home and I know if I go home I won’t wanna leave again, so I’m just gonna work till like 6 and slowly mosey my way over to Essen Frohnhausen, try and get the non perishable grocery shopping done on the way)
Like it’s on 3:30 pm and peeps are already like “jeeze; staying late today???”
Working in the office on a Friday shows me what a freak I really am for doing a true full day of work
Probs gonna be late to work today oops. This is why you don’t pack for roller derby World Cup tryouts last second morning of
Some people look for pictures in the clouds.
In roller derby we do that to our teammates’s bruises
Anyways I’ve got a flying saucer on my leg from last Tuesday
I’m glad I don’t have to email Americans much cuz I would confuse myself so much about exclamation marks. I used to use them so much because in American emails they mean “hi I’m being friendly right now!”
In German emails tho I’ve had to stop that cuz it’s read as “HI I GOTTA YELL RIGHT NOW!”
Eventually I’ll be well enough established to switch agencies. We work with a different agency for a different website that I’m supposed to take over in the fall. If I’m happy with them it should hopefully be simple enough to rope them in for the keyword researches for the other website
Not to mention of course - I want the keywords. And if the people who should be doing that research for me aren’t doing it, I guess I just gotta fuckin do it myself
I literally feel like I have to defensively preventatively do my own damn keyword researches just so I have hard numbers to say nah man we’re not investing time and money into that topic, it’s absolutely not worth it. Please do this one instead
It’s already happened that I gave a piece of feedback and he kinda low-key went above my head to try and get the go-ahead to do what he wanted regardless of what I thought. Nothing came of that, but still
I’m new enough here, and the agency guy is well enough connected (used to work with my boss’s boss) that I feel like I have to be careful about how I contradict him
But like - her approach is not SEO focused. That’s not her job. Why is she the one supposedly making a bunch of new suggestions for texts that are meant to help the SEO Strategy?
I’ve spoken with the woman who writes these texts. She is nice enough, and she writes well enough. She clearly has some degree of SEO knowledge considering she doesn’t get any proper briefs on what to write but does ok anyways
Like a)
I specifically said nah man just 3 for now plz
b) we decided to include certain topics in an existing text, not to create completely new pages for those topics
c) WHY ARE YOU SUGGESTING NEW TOPICS WITHOUT KEYWORDS
What I didn’t expect was for said guy to just ignore what we decided on and have his writer suggest new topics (based on some undefined “tools” that she apparently used)
What I didn’t expect was said guy to just ignore every request for super basic stuff like fuckin keyword researches
What I didn’t expect was that my agency contact would have more pull than me on my bosses
Like obviously there will always be other factors. I expected to have to remain within corporate language/general marketing voice constraints. I expected priorities coming from above to be a factor
I thought switching to in-house would mean I had control over the SEO strategy. And like I guess depending on your definition I do / will have that but omg
Two hours till my stop tho (Innsbruck). Maybe I’ll catch another wink or two
Turns out I’m too excited to sleep the whole time. Plus my bunk is very not soundproof so right now this group of peeps is getting ready to get off in Munich and I can hear every word they say
Bunk is teeny tiny, but like, ideally I’m sleeping the whole time so I don’t need much space yknow
Idk if I didn’t actually send those tweets (skeets I guess?) but I’m on a night train rn
Bob Ross, painting a cloud: What if we went a little crazy, eh? What if we painted a another one 𝘳𝘪𝘪𝘪𝘪𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦?
Me, biting my nails: Bob, you MADMAN. It won't fit!
Bob: *Paints exquisite fluffy cloud*
Me: *Wild cheering* He's done it again, lads.
Honestly like, I hope they both lose
Disney’s suing Midjourney. Fuckin finally lmao
Only downside is I wanted to swim real bad then but like, maybe it’s not the best plan to get all soaked right before a 2 hour flight. So had to content myself with wading. Still nice. A doggo came up to hang with us at beach too
Split is officially my favorite airport. Got there earlier than necessary for flight, so M turned to me and was like “wanna go to the beach then?” So we did cuz it’s apparently just a 10 minute walk away
Anyways yeah so I haz new job. Starting May 2 as SEO manager in house for a consumer electronics company. I have high hopes, should be cool thing
