Office Problems, pt. III

These signs showed up in every bathroom in the building a little while ago. Who the heck has been standing on the toilets??

A toilet stall with a sign on the wall saying "ATTENTION: please do not stand on toilets, or flush any type of trash." Above the text are two crossed-out pictograms demonstrating the forbidden acts.

Proud

My daughter: “Hey dad, want to hear a joke? It’s a pun.”

Me, responding to my love language: “Absolutely!”

Her: “What do you call a T-Rex that’s also a sword?”

Me: “I don’t know, what?”

Her: “A dino-sword.”

Me:

Mr. Miyagi from "The Karate Kid" looking at his student with pride

Speaking of people who should be Super Soakered, who on Earth decided it was ever acceptable to have an app with text elements that can’t be selected?

Why Am I Like This, pt. XII

Me: “Welp, I’ve been staring at my computer screen doing literally nothing all day and now it’s after 6. Guess I better call it. I’ll just text my spouse and let them know I’m leaving…and I should look at the function I was working on so I’ll remember where I left off…”

My brain, smashing through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man: “ALL RIIIIIGHT I’M READY, LET’S LOCK THE F*CK IN”

Snow Day!

The kids have school off today, so naturally I’m taking a day off from my blog, too. (It makes sense because I say so!)

Please enjoy this festive winter scene:

I hope your day is a fun one!

Riddle Me This, Too

Am I being paranoid, or has AI actually made autocorrect worse?

If we’re going to start stuffing LLMs into every crack and crevice of our lives like cream into cheap profiteroles, could we at least include a way to give it feedback? Because I would dearly like to have some way of explaining to my phone that no, I did not and will never wish to discuss “the copy of her hair,” and starting a sentence with “I’m fact, …” makes me both look and feel like a maniac.

Mal-Come Again, AGAIN?

I was careful to enunciate extra-clearly this time. I guess they did leave out the ‘h,’ so… Partial success?

It’s the same handwriting! Who is this maniac??
