recently two of my coworkers were jokingly bemoaning being the only straight people in our office- which is not literally true, but my field and city are both queerer than most- and I said “if you’re both straight you should just date each other!” and they turned to look at me with absolute cosmic horror, and the doctor who was in the room with us said “this is payback for when we say that to gay people”

Used claude a lot at work today and got the annoying impression that it both was kind of stupid and thought I was kind of stupid. If it were a person I would sit it down and get it on the same page with me, but it won't remember any of that tomorrow. (Even if it writes memories about it, it doesn't always know which memories are relevant to a given situation, and sometimes it just ignores its own notes.) So I just let half of its review comments pass because it's not worth the time or tokens to hash out the misunderstanding

I ❤️ getting time-sensitive legal documents 7 weeks after they officially arrived because no one at the main office sent them on to me.

got bagels with my coworker today & ended up accidentally spending like half an hour talking shit about work, & i still don't know if that was entirely OK to do (i am her boss?) but it made me feel so much better. we have a lot of shared values & concerns in common & it's just like, really comforting to know that there's someone else in the building who knows what's up, we're on the same page about what our most pressing problems are & also what our priorities should be. and also she's very cool & i like her

Every so often my supervisor explains to me the lyrics to whatever salsa or bachata song is on the radio in the meat room and I always find it delightful. Bro likes the song so much he wants me to be able to appreciate it too. Peace and love on planet Costco. <3
