Happy Labor Day! I am coming fresh off a long weekend and hope you had a good long weekend, too (if you’re in the US or Canada, AND if you got the day off, that is. I feel lucky to get most holidays off.) Today I am reviving an old feature post. I used to…
I used to regularly post this kind of post, but it’s been (almost three) years since I last used this format I thought it would be fun to revive it. See the archives here. AWKWARD + Have you bought stuff off of Facebook Marketplace? Or NextDoor? What is it with people? Why do they not…
This is a regular feature post on my blog. See the archives here. AWKWARD + Slow computers. Or huge data sets. Or both. I just don’t have patience for this. Especially when I need to get things done. + People who talk very loudly. There is this maintenance guy in our office building and he basically…

This is a regular feature post on my blog. See the archives here. AWKWARD + Co-workers, who work in the same office suite, but never say good morning or good-bye when they arrive at/leave the office unless I say something first. What’s your deal??? + When you feel a slight summer cold coming on (Go away!…
This is a regular feature post on my blog. See the archives here. AWKWARD + It’s awkward when perfectly fine and functional apps + websites make design changes just because (I’m talking about you, Google). The latest offender: Instagram. Why oh why did you have to put the “like” and “comment” button up at the…
This is a regular feature post on my blog. See the archives here. AWKWARD Bad communication. OMG. It’s like the most awkward (and annoying) thing in the world. I don’t know or understand how some people navigate their lives without clear communication, but alas, here we are. All the series we were watching (on actual TV)…
