Me to myself this morning after snoozing my alarm for the 3rd time.

How I’m cruising through today after putting in too many hours working and QA testing yesterday.

You know what really gets me? Sitting peacefully on an empty bus, and a couple chooses the seat right in front of me. Then, the not-so-considerate young lady reclines her seat all the way back—and keeps pushing, as if my knees aren’t already there. Thanks for crushing my ACL I needed that today.

I'm at this networking event was having too many conversations at once and someone asked me what my hobbies are. I drew a blank, took a deep breath, and said 'standing desks.' They nodded as if they understood and then shook my hand and said "It was nice to meet you, thanks for the chat".

I told my fiancee I was stressed about potential production issues.
Her: "What's the big deal if there's a minor mistake?"
Me: "There's no such thing as a minor mistake. So just imagine your biggest mistake being broadcast to everyone who ever mattered."

HAHA that’s literally so funny I’m gonna use that now

Without my coffee I'm completely unresponsive, like a server without power. Offering zero signs of recovery until something caffeinated is injected. Please, no more questions until I've had at least a sip.

I accidentally said "I’ll circle back" in a non-work related conversation, and now my friends are goofing on me talking about how I'm one of those AI chatbots on eCommerce sites. It's not even like I can send a text without a typo so this is going over my head.

Would you say its safe to assume that project managers spend 80% of their time explaining why adding one field is not as simple as it sounds?

404 error codes: as helpful as a GPS telling you to 'head north' when you're lost

My fitness routine is like my tech debt—planned with the best intentions, ignored until absolutely necessary.

Using Salesforce in 2025 without an admin is like skydiving without a parachute... Technically possible but highly... HIGHLY discouraged.

Unit tests: because the platform or app doesn’t trust you either.

Working in a sandbox or test environment is awesome. It's where you can break everything guilt-free… until you have to explain what you broke to the people who need to fix it. That's when things gets a little un-awesome...

Jass and I organize our kitchen like a file system:

Frequently used snacks on the desktop (counter)
Lesser-used spices in the archives (back shelf)
Expired items in the recycle bin (trash).

System roles: because chaos doesn’t manage itself.

All part of the cloud package these days

Lightning Experience is where clicks replace code, and my patience gets tested in new and exciting ways.

Today all my project have started with, 'This will be easy,' and ends with, 'UHHH Why did I even start this!?

Validation rules: because "Woops, I didn't mean to delete all the records" isn't a valid excuse. Don't ask just pray for me.

Living with a tech mindset means every disagreement feels like troubleshooting a connectivity issue: "Have you tried turning off your stubbornness and turning on communication?"

Switching tabs in NetSuite is the ultimate patience test: ‘Did I click it? Should I click it again? Is it frozen?

I treat my weekends like my RAM—clearing out all the junk from the week only to overload it with spontaneous plans and Hulu marathons. So its safe to say I'm looking forward to the end of today...

You know you’re too into tech when you describe your sleep schedule as ‘in beta’ and your friends as ‘early adopters’ of your bad habits

That’s a great way to put it Anna! Helping them get their reps in and ensuring that they understand the pull potential of their system.

The way I see it, is NetSuite is like a gym membership—everyone says it’ll change your life, but only if you actually know what you’re doing.

This is how I feel going into Thursday wishing it was Friday

HA! I see what you did there 😂🤣

NetSuite training: where ‘easy to learn’ meets 'I need a coffee and five YouTube tutorials.

Salesforce triggers are just that one friend who always overcomplicates things.
