To be clear, we're not upgrading our 200 amp service to 400 amps. Our third floor runs on 100 amps! 2nd floor has an electric water heater and a mini split with two units, so we gave it 150 amps.

After the concrete work, and the fire sprinkler updates, it's basic stuff!

The overall estimate for the work we're doing came in at 150% of what we budgeted for, and I suspect we're going to go heavy with DIY as a result.

This shit is not black magic.

Perhaps he gets extra pull for all the work he's saved modern creative types in their layout mock-ups

*phrase, not word

(you knew what I meant)

The word "snake oil salesman" is still fairly common vernacular in America, and somehow it feels like a significant volume of commerce in modern society is powered by the kind of hucksterism that thrived in the 19th century.

Anyway happy Black Friday Cyber Monday week I guess

But this coworker of mine said they really did feel like vertical videos shot on an iPhone felt more genuine. I'll admit that I bought "white van" speakers in a movie theater parking lot when I was in college. Searching AltaVista for what I got radicalized me even though I got them close to cost...

I remember talking to younger coworkers about the topic, probably a decade ago, after I read that "amateur" videos evoke more trust on social media than big brands makign high production commercials. I don't trust any brand, but I don't trust Joe Schmoe hocking pet toys made of cardboard either.

I like the person who made the slide, didn't want to call them out on front of the team.

I got a shout out a couple minutes later that would not have hit the same. They all know I don't fit in anyway, lol

The meeting started at 5:30p (sales and marketing wee), I'm not adding a single extra second
