Music Monday – “I’m free/It took me in my whole life/I got the keys to the cages/I’m ready for bright lights”
Wish I’d been able to see U2 at The Sphere (extra jealous talking to a coworker yesterday who said they’d been!) but YouTube videos will have to suffice… “Atomic City” – U2
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – SGI Salvage Yard (May 2012)
Got rear-ended while parked on the street by a hit & run driver.
Wisdom Wednesday – “This was the future at one point. Let’s use all this cool tech we have to make people’s lives easier, more fulfilling, and safer.”
Two months ago, my fully remote job of 3 years began a campaign to bring all employees back to office. This confused me, as I was originally hired to be fully remote. I lost that status because we recently moved into a temporary apartment while we shop for our first home. 1/ — Jauwn (@Jauwnio) […]
