I don't take my lunch breaks at work.
I don't hang out with co-workers (or anyone) after work.
I don't attend staff functions.
My co-workers don't understand, but it's like this: you know those status effect bars in video games, like you get poisoned and it builds and builds, and you have to wait for the status effect to slowly come down before you chance getting poisoned again?
Yeah, that's me. I have to get fully away from people to survive them.
I love bringing people together and am also comfortable by myself. My neutral MBTI extravert introvert score hides both aspects of who I am.

That's my favorite part of the holidays!

“I made it,” she said
keys in trembling hand,
one week closer to
her retirement
as the door swung back
to her private world
where dogs leapt with joy
and headaches faded,
too tired for much
except the solace.

Alt text here, since I can't put it on the link: five white dudes in pajamas and loungewear playing keyboards and drums, dancing, and singing these lyrics to the tune of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" (Me when someone asks if I want to go out tonight):
Clock strikes upon the hour
And I'm still not wearing pants
Still enough time to figure out
How to cancel all my plans
I've done alright up till now
But I'd kill someone not to go downtown
And when the night falls
My SquishMallow calls
I don't wanna dance with nobody
I wanna be asleep by 10:30
Yeah, don't wanna dance with nobody
Please don't look at or touch me
I don't wanna dance with nobody
Don't wanna feel your cheeks on my body
Yeah, don't wanna dance with nobody
Please don't look at or touch me
This book is for anyone who's ever felt like a square peg in a round workplace — especially analytical thinkers, neurodivergent professionals, and other "This can be better..." status-quo challengers.
My No-BS approach to strategic planning and OKRs strips away confusion and gives you practical frameworks to transform your vision into measurable impact, regardless of your title or role.
I'm going to a conference hosted by Nevada Arts Council next week. I've prepared an icebreaker sheet to display at my table. Hoping that it might help avoid awkwardness...

In The Way of the #Hermit, Ken Smith offers a profoundly #human portrait of #solitude—not the performative kind, but the hard-earned, bone-deep kind that comes from living off-grid in the #Scottish #Highlands for over 40 years. #BookReview #Books #introvert #introversion #nature #Scotland #Biography #Autobiography #Philosophy
