Bagels & cream cheese from the correct establish in my childhood hometown is my love language

I'm not having kids to it doesn't matter, but one thing I can't imagine doing is giving them a name with the same first initial.

And I think this bias comes from how we labeled Christmas presents in my childhood household growing up 🤣

Apparently one of my major coping strategies is logging off.
Which doesn't really vibe with modern society.
🤷‍♀️

I have to cancel a planning meeting that I wanted tomorrow so that I can be in a high-profile meeting about a crisis situation and it honestly just feels like this is what I should assume work will be like for the foreseeable future.

In what world is it appropriate decorum to sing "na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" as a Congressperson is escorted out of a Presidential address? 🙄

I had a bowl of bread & butter pickles, pepperoni, and avocado for dinner... in case you were curious about my mental health these days.

Ran into a family from school on the subway 👀 I appreciate that they waited to say hi until they were about to get off at their stop.

Sometimes I forget that I'm actually a part of a community at this job.

Tell me everything I need to know about becoming an Apple Watch girlie 👀

If I could live the rest of my life without ever again being told to "remember your why" or asked to "identify your why" I'd be pretty thrilled

I grew up Northeast-but-not-New England and never encountered it there so I assumed it was hyperlocal 🤣

Can someone please help me understand the New England urge to serve chicken fingers with sweet & sour dipping sauce?!

Not overly religious but pro-kindness, always

I made my mother text me 3 different recipes and browsed 3 more online, and then improvised my own... but I'm thrilled with these apple-banana-walnut micro-loaves.

Anything but mugs 🤣

Target giftcard is high on my list of things that cost money & handwritten/drawn card is high on my list of free things.

Things that are weird but not inherently wrong: today’s commute edition.

A wrapped extension cord coming from the roof down a storefront towards the street but bundled so it stays higher than doorframe level ?!?

The female-bodied struggle of figuring out exactly what upper body pain you’re having 😤

Is it anxiety? Acid reflux? Heart? Lungs? Boobs? Just workout soreness? Too many hours in your bra?

I know it’s a *relatively* “harmless” side effect but my rage at the way each round of Covid has played with my cycle remains HIGH.

I’m excited that we are doing an underground staff spirit week but I don’t like the vibe of having us all dress in black 🤷‍♀️

I’m going to try and cook out of my pantry the rest of the year & not buy pantry groceries 👀

I know the Red Cup Day cup is probably supposed to be peppermints but they look like beachballs to me 🤷‍♀️ I’ll still use it at school but mehhh

One of my biggest teacher pet peeves - like @ other staff, not at the students - is when staff is writing down student responses but instead of just writing what the kids said they rework it and change it to better prove the point of the lesson… why can’t we validate their actual thinking?

Impulse buying concert tix is very high on my list of toxic traits 👀

I am teetering on the edge of the same rabbit hole, while being wildly thankful that I already have professional status in my district & vesting in my state pension.

The cranberries from the Sbux winter menu refresher are a perfect addition to my stovetop potpourri and it makes me feel so *adult*

Instead of apologizing for blowing your smoke at me on the train, maybe just don’t smoke for the 20 minute ride??

Over 10 minutes between subways isn’t appropriate during standard commute hours. I love my city but will die on that transit hill.

Attempt 37 at recommitting to this platform as my primary social. Partner convinced me that it’s time.

I can’t tell if this week has been blowing my mind because I’m a little sick and off my game, or if our school has just been extra chaotic

Attempting to recommit over here for the fresh start that is a new year on a Monday 💗

I am *triple* booked between 4-7 today and they are all work-adjacent things 🙃 One is in-person, two are virtual. Of course the middle one is mandatory.

Sounds like an extra coffee day.
