My first time in Northern Italy,

My umpteenth falling in love with an Italian city ❤️

Updated my LinkedIn and Upwork profiles. Damn, actual work is 10x easier than writing about your work.

(Luckily, it’s too much of a yes-man (yes-bot?) for that)

Feeling oddly disloyal today. We’re transitioning from ChatGPT to Claude at work, so I’m using ChatGPT to write the instructions for its replacement.

With every prompt, I keep expecting ChatGPT to reply with this Pingu meme:

This imposing nuraghe (an ancient Sardinian stone tower) is about 3,500 years old, and it’s still standing, including the stars 😍

Imagine the backbreaking work it took to build a complex like this thousands of years ago!

Finally broke out of my 49-50 kg “consolidation range”.

Breaking below 50 is easy enough, but staying below it requires a strict calorie deficit and low-carb, high-protein dinners.

I just can’t help it - as a 90s kid, I feel completely different when my weight starts with a 4🤷‍♀️

One day, the conspiracy of objects that mysteriously disappear when a man is looking for them and then reappear in plain sight the moment a woman comes over to check will finally be exposed

My daughter absolutely nailed it: the flower I identify with most, right down to the color

I have autoimmune hypothyroidism, and my replacement therapy dose has been steadily increasing ever since I was diagnosed. And I’m only 34 (let me write that one last time - turning 35 tomorrow). How high is it going to get by, say, 50?!

Cesare got hooked on the Wild West. He channels all his interests into LEGO builds, but he didn’t have a dedicated Wild West set. So he created his own 😍

This hair length has been my dream for like forever

Your work buddies when you’re a work-from-home freelancer

The interpreter notes rubric: client didn’t show up, so it was just me, the PM, and the client’s unusual name carefully written out.
