Apparently NatWest has acquired Sainsbury's Bank accounts, and I sure hope Other Catherine has some other way to access her new account, because her emails go to me.

Trying to figure out why, per Informed Delivery, I'm getting a letter from the Utah dept of health and human services in the mail today, googling for news articles...eventually realize it's the birth certificate I sent away for like two weeks ago 🀦

Maybe part of it is that I have seen how some people annotate romance books and it's just like...squeeing in pen. I like to read sentences and paragraphs of other people's thoughts, but not a pink highlight with hearts around "she's not you."

I think it's weird that someone would want a book annotated by anyone other than the author (unless it's for a class the annotater has already taken and you haven't, I guess?) but in the same way I think it's weird when people wear hoodies in 90 degree weather. It's dumb, but it doesn't affect me.

YES!! There was a year mom ran what was essentially a summer day care

There is a reason why the joke is that Mormons are all dentists, lawyers, and chiropractors, because those are the only jobs where you can afford a stay at home wife. There's a reason why SAHMs get sucked into MLMs, because they actually need two incomes but don't want/can't get a real job!

It didn't happen!! My family was precariously poor on my mom's school teacher income and my dad's odd jobs until he got a real job when I was a teenager. My grandpa taught high school and grandma worked at the district office.

I'm not saying it's the most important reason to change your smoke detector batteries, but just know that if you don't, they WILL die in the middle of the night. Do you really want to be on a stepladder at 2:30 am??

By now there’s enough independent, third-party data analysis of AI’s impact (or apparent lack thereof) on the current job market that there’s no reason not to include some skepticism about the executive claim when you write it up.

I read a dual POV last year that switched between first present and third past. Talk about distracting and annoying!!

Honestly, I don't like birds in general (or fish; it's the soulless eyes)

On International Women’s Day it’s great to remember that Grunya Sukhareva identified Autism before Kenner (100 years ago), identified that Autism presented regardless of sex, and that it is a spectrum.

I am convinced that if you asked all the employees in my department how much they use or are enthusiastic about LLMs, it would inversely correlated to performance. The top rated people that I've talked to refuse to use it, the bottom performers use it all the time. AND IT SHOWS.

What I'm hearing is having sensory issues is saving my life (I mostly wear cotton, I'm a water snob, and the texture of seafood is impossible for me)

Oh, we don't do time change! I get up at six on weekdays, so it was technically still sleeping in. Anyway, it's all because I can't tolerate the sun in my eyes, so we have to do it in the twilight

I am at the point where I just decline them with a response asking if it will be recorded for people who can't accommodate such an early start time, which is satisfying
