I once said "Let's circle back" to my microwave while working from home.

Too many meetings. Not enough humans.

What's your funniest hybrid work moment so far?

I mean, technically the microwave is circling back 🫠 My funniest hybrid work moment was logging onto an early AM meeting from home when everyone else was in-office. I mixed up my days and everyone was scheduled to be in office that day. Why no one told me BEFORE the meeting is still a mystery. Not cool.

I have said “take it offline” to my toddler during dinner. In fairness i did it on purpose

I jokingly tell my friends I don't like the optics of things. I have mostly rejected embracing work jargon and I am proud of that.

And no this email does not find me well.

Waking up on a weekend and logging in - took me way too long to realise

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

"Don't Look Up" is as real as it can be.
