Got given a playlist of muzak to play at work because it's supposed to be relaxing.

First song: steady stream of people showing up to the office "what on earth are you playing?"

"it's supposed to be relaxing"

"it's not working"

I had to change my Windows/laptop enterprise-managed password this morning. I think I am up to about 10 times where I have had to enter my new password on a device or application, each time requiring an authenticator verification. At least I get to remember my new password.

I have a co-worker who is on a solo crusade to eliminate abbreviations from written language. I am new employee who has to ask every time I encounter a new abbreviation in a field I have not worked in before. Stay tuned this solo crusade may shortly turn into a dynamic duo of just-write-it-out crusaders. #work #WorkStories

It's catch-up day at work. Like weeding the garden. Getting rid of those little, irritant tasks. So I'm listening to Joni Mitchell's 'Court and Spark' on my new AirPods and these lines get me every time.

I wish I had more sense of humor
Keeping the sadness at bay
Throwing the lightness on these things
Laughing it all away

Have had a work thing the past two days, which has been fantastic EXCEPT for the dude who:

made disparaging remarks about his wife in some lame attempt to be funny

put down a female team member for "going on" about a topic she was interested in

made an off-colour remark to me only to be shocked when I responded in kind and took it to the next level.

Turns out, we all thought he was kind of a dick and thought the less of him for his behavior.
