Tip very well so I can put money directly in the hands of people in my community who need it. Stay involved with local orgs that do the work and attend events when I can.

I try to do some pro bono work. I do this for the people that need it the most and who I think are worthy clients. As someone who deals with a lot of cases, I try to have 5% of my time spent on pro bono work. This is how I give back and clear my conscious at the same time.

Omnistudio - may you get built in to Salesforce core. Hate how I have to install a package every release, test it, and when there is a break fix that cycle repeats. This is on top of those freaking data that drives functionalities (omniscripts, flex, IP) are all records and tough to sync to non-full copy. Salesforce needs to kill that product or get those into the core! What’s your take on this? This is for friendly conversation

I am an unmarried working man in his 30s with a southern mother. In other words I'm flying home for Christmas and my mother just called to tell me that she just happened to accidentally run into the sweetest girl from her church that she just knows I'll get along with and accidentally invited her to our house for dinner the night that I get home. Deadass the woman will not rest until I am tied down. Pray for me!
