FRIENDLY REMINDER: No matter what you do for work, if you have sick time, PTO, vacation time, anything where you can take time off of work & still get paid... use all of it. Every year. Use every second that you are given or that you accrue.

There's no attendance awards when you're an adult, folks.

Good job, past me for watching 1987’s “Running Man” adaptation because I found a damn error in this review.

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

Good news 🗞️! I won first in my category in the ACES headline contest.

Who knew my pop culture knowledge and twisted sense of humor would pay off in a professional context?

Should I throw a Sabrina Carpenter reference in for this coffee and tariffs headline? Probably not. Am I going to do it? Yes. ☕️

I have written a silly headline. I’m trying to make space for another.

Let’s see if I can pull it off.

Why aren’t the mini 100 Grand bars called like 25K bars? Seems like they should adjust accordingly.

Today we get a treat from Harps, #StetPet editorial assistant of OR Guild member @wellreadedits.bsky.social.

"Harps tends to take a hatchet to the projects she works on, leaving them a little bloody. Every once in a while, though, she gives a project the vampire’s kiss of approval."
