another huge "productivity hack" in my tool kit
the sound of rain (thank god because there is so much of it here)
the child's lunch of a half peanut butter and jelly sandwich on multigrain bread with chips (flaming hot limón this week) and a piece of fruit, which i have eaten most work days for maybe like 10 years and which continues to provide sustenance without effort
my highly advanced technical strategy for writing words with their proper accent marks without learning how to actually write them which involves searching googles for words that have them and then copying and pasting the text of the character
the shortcut for pasting plain text rather than formatted text, which is used there and broadly another huge "productivity hack" in my tool kit
given the usual child's lunch, the novelty of occasionally eating something different for lunch (monday i had left over orzo and broth from tomato poached fish, tuesday i roasted the chicken thighs left over from the package we used for our dinners rather than putting them in a ziploc in the freezer where they would sit until the next time we cleaned out our (already very small) freezer because i hate dealing with frozen meat)
the sensation of "vacuum sealing" a ziplock using your own mouth and a straw rather than formal equipment designed for such a thing

another five meeting wednesday but c'est la guerre
i explained to a product manager that when I wrote "NB" in a meeting pre-read i meant "nota bene" and not another acronym that would have been more confusing in the context of our discussion and which i described as "a more pretentious fyi 😂"
another coworker who was having a video call with a customer with a thick southern accent and confessed that she felt compelled to code switch and used the word "y'all" despite being born and raised in the bay
the sprinkling of loan words to spice the discourse
