Well anyway, I love updating my name all over the place. Might as well do it here too. 🥰

[Ali ✨ @AliMatuszak]

Ok fine, guess I'll put the app back on my phone...

[Ali ✨ @AliMatuszak]

whoa hey, are we still here?

[Ali ✨ @AliMatuszak]

Boooooo. (Remember these?)

Inside each of us there are two wolves — of professionalism. One is Ted Lasso. The other is the Oppenheim Group. #SellingSunset

I just asked ChatGPT for some professional advice instead of writing ~1100 words about it on Reddit. I feel so much better, and it's super weird.

Live footage of me today, waiting to hear "on or after June 9, 2023" whether or not a conference proposal was accepted

I read 300 pages over the weekend. 🏆 I always want to be a Gal Who Reads™️ but it never feels like fun -- until it does and then I can't do anything else. I read a novella I hated, and now I'm 60% through a thriller that I'm LOVING. 🤓

Happy Friday from June, who is completely asleep here.

@nickv47 Seriously, what is this

[Ali ✨ @AliMatuszak]

It's not the generation. It's the life stage. The next wave of young professionals is arriving and they are stumbling through the ins and outs of credibility right now while they learn how to navigate the workplace, just like you and I did.

They will grow out of it. Relax.

We will never not be in the business of talking shit about young people. 4th century BC, Aristotle + Socrates write about the "exalted notions" young people have, that they haven't been "humbled by life" and so on.

Gen Z might be the most difficult generation, but so were millennials (hi) and so were Gen X (just with less instant internet headlines) -- we all were, as soon as we started entering the workforce en masse. Keyword: all.

Can't wait to roll out my new Accounta-THRILL-ity workshop. 😂

@MauraWallenius I took the day off work. Hope she did too!

It's true, I just explained to some of my CO coworkers that because I could walk to my parents' house from the CTA, I'm """"allowed"""" to call Chicago home. (And then I checked my surroundings, and I was safe. Phew.)

[emily @north0fnorth]

people keep saying Philly is East Coast Chicago but imo there’s a key difference in that Philly will gladly claim Joe Biden as being from their city despite him being from Delaware while Chicagoans will beat you up if you claim something 2 blocks outside city limits is in Chicago

@shelenvalentini I acknowledged my cat- he was one of the only constants through the whole process. :)
