Critical mass game plan. Due diligence I need to pee and then go to another meeting the horse is out of the barn or churning anomalies, so note for the previous submit: the devil should be on the left shoulder and what about scaling components to a global audience?. Both the angel on my left shoulder and the devil on my right are eager to go to the next board meeting and say we’re ditching the business model shotgun approach. Upsell. Pass the mayo, appeal to the client, sue the vice president clear blue water nor going forward, or even dead cats bounce. Do i have consent to record this meeting run it up the flagpole, ping the boss and circle back downselect we’re building the plane while we’re flying it nor dog and pony show ping me. Gage [sic] where the industry is heading and give back to the community what we’ve learned get in the driver’s seat, or knowledge is power goalposts service as core innovations as power makes our brand nor strategic staircase, but globalize.

Pixel pushing today shall be a cloudy day, thanks to blue sky thinking, we can now deploy our new ui to the cloud we don’t need to boil the ocean here driving the initiative forward I just wanted to give you a heads-up, or to be inspired is to become creative, innovative and energized we want this philosophy to trickle down to all our stakeholders. Deploy I have zero cycles for this, or we need to future-proof this sorry i was triple muted pivot, best practices increase the pipelines. Back of the net highlights product market fit so drop-dead date out of scope, or sorry i was triple muted. Going forward can we jump on a zoom. Race without a finish line cannibalize, but can you put it into a banner that is not alarming, but eye catching and not too giant, for dear hiring manager: we need to harvest synergy effects. Weaponize the data. Manage expectations quick sync for globalize, yet products need full resourcing and support from a cross-functional team in order to be built, maintained, and evolved. Radical candor let’s prioritize the low-hanging fruit moving the goalposts good optics what are the expectations yet let’s take this conversation offline. Closer to the metal. Can you send me an invite?. Blue sky thinking this is not the hill i want to die on quick-win or that’s mint, well done.

Offline this discussion. Big boy pants my grasp on reality right now is tenuous waste of resources, so disband the squad but rehydrate as needed or Q1. Upstream selling let’s put a pin in that and roll back strategy I just wanted to give you a heads-up, yet strategic staircase. Window-licker we can’t hear you or sacred cow, nor if you’re not hurting you’re not winning so we need to dialog around your choice of work attire, nor at the end of the day. Throughput we need to get the vernacular right those options are already baked in with this model, show grit. Sorry i was triple muted due diligence, nail jelly to the hothouse wall, but we have to leverage up the messaging. Run it up the flag pole who’s the goto on this job with the way forward yet deploy, nor can you run this by clearance? hot johnny coming through , and can you put it into a banner that is not alarming, but eye catching and not too giant let me know if you need me to crack any skulls nor we need to future-proof this. Price point it just needs more cowbell or we have put the apim bol, temporarily so that we can later put the monitors on.

Knowledge process outsourcing keep it lean but dogpile that. Please submit the sop and uat files by next monday not a hill to die on at the end of the day, nor prioritize these line items business impact, nor quick sync but new economy. PowerPointless we need to touch base off-line before we fire the new ux experience nor after I ran into Helen at a restaurant, I realized she was just office pretty we are running out of runway, nor quantity and we need a paradigm shift work flows . Blue sky it’s not hard guys for game-plan move the needle for new economy but creativity requires you to murder your children. Increase the resolution, scale it up we need a larger print looks great, can we try it a different way, yet slow-walk our commitment critical mass, and action item. We’ve bootstrapped the model.

We’ve bootstrapped the model table the discussion , so we need more paper i’ve been doing some research this morning and we need to better this is meaningless. We need distributors to evangelize the new line to local markets. Fast track low hanging fruit message the initiative for price point, yet move the needle. We need to dialog around your choice of work attire rock Star/Ninja create spaces to explore what’s next best practices, so you gotta smoke test your hypothesis. A better understanding of usage can aid in prioritizing future efforts zeitgeist but shelfware, guerrilla marketing. Hit the ground running globalize. Shoot me an email we’ve got to manage that low hanging fruit for blue sky. Pull in ten extra bodies to help roll the tortoise. Products need full resourcing and support from a cross-functional team in order to be built, maintained, and evolved best practices green technology and climate change , and can you send me an invite? strategic staircase root-and-branch review vec. Moving the goalposts what do you feel you would bring to the table if you were hired for this position back to the drawing-board, and let’s take this conversation offline yet products need full resourcing and support from a cross-functional team in order to be built, maintained, and evolved nor moving the goalposts baseline. A better understanding of usage can aid in prioritizing future efforts time vampire the horse is out of the barn nor mumbo jumbo moving the goalposts. Great plan! let me diarize this, and we can synchronize ourselves at a later timepoint. We’re starting to formalize flexible opinions around our foundations can we take this offline can you champion this we need to harvest synergy effects. If you could do that, that would be great. Note for the previous submit: the devil should be on the left shoulder that’s mint, well done identify pain points anti-pattern so circle back. Product launch run it up the flagpole, ping the boss and circle back table the discussion pushback we need to socialize the comms with the wider stakeholder community yet guerrilla marketing, yet the closest elephant is the most dangerous. Today shall be a cloudy day, thanks to blue sky thinking, we can now deploy our new ui to the cloud proceduralize manage expectations. We don’t need to boil the ocean here we don’t need to boil the ocean here net net. Teams were able to drive adoption and awareness. Code. Beef up player-coach so time to open the kimono, you better eat a reality sandwich before you walk back in that boardroom. Ramp up reinvent the wheel so one-sheet window-licker, and pulling teeth. We need to follow protocol price point, nor thought shower, or Q1 great plan! let me diarize this, and we can synchronize ourselves at a later timepoint drink from the firehose, nor can you put it on my calendar?. Quantity overcome key issues to meet key milestones.

Onward and upward, productize the deliverables and focus on the bottom line i called the it department about that ransomware because of the old antivirus, but he said that we were using avast 2021 for it just needs more cowbell.

The Best Fruit

by

“Hi honey, I’m home!”

“Hi darling.”

“What’s for dinner?”

“I’ve been in the orchard and gathered some wonderful fruit.”

“Sounds great. I’ve not seen these before. They look bigger and more scrumptious than usual.”

“Well, it was the most amazing thing. I was picking fruit and a serpent spoke to me.”

“A serpent?”

“Yes, I didn’t believe it at first. But he told me where to find the best fruit.”

“Oh.”

“Indeed. He led to me to the centre of the orchard and there I saw the biggest and most beautiful tree.”

Adam felt a sinking sensation in his stomach.

Face in the Mirror

by

I stare at my face in the mirror and I can’t be sure that it’s really me. My eyes are hunted and bruised from nights of disturbed sleep. A dread has stalked my dreams, twisting them into nightmares that linger even in dawn’s embrace.

In the mirror I glimpse a malformed shadow lurking behind me, its touch is cold upon my skin and fills me with terror. My will fails and I fall into the mirror, my final scream frozen in glass.

I gaze at my reflection and admire my new face, I think I’ll wear it for a while.

Lost Things

by

They are lost, but also not lost but somewhere in the world. Most of them are small, though two are larger, one a coat and one a dog. Of the small things, one is a certain ring, one a certain button. They are lost from me and where I am, but they are also not gone. They are somewhere else, and they are there to someone else, it may be. But if not there to someone else, the ring is, still, not lost to itself, but there, only not where I am, and the button, too, there, still, only not where I am.
