@canva I want to subscribe to Canva for Teams but in order to do so, I need your corporate address, tax ID, phone and email contact info.

In the last two days, sketchy @getcurrnt has offered to pay me to join a panel and share my vast expertise in healthcare user experience and machine vision. (Spoiler: I don't know anything about either field.) I'm highly skeptical of the results of any of their panels.

So I'm looking for a new project management solution for the team, because even though this seems like a small thing, it's a big deal.

[Glen Turpin @GlenTurpin]

I'm kicking off a search for a new project management tool to use for our communications and creative work. (Recommendations welcome!) The one we're using right now is robust and flexible and meets our functional needs... so why are we looking for a change?

The name.

When the company was acquired by @citrix I thought something might change, but in the year since that transaction closed, that hasn't happened. (Paging @estherkflammer. You might want to read those threads.)

@dionlisle Congratulations on the new gig, Dion!

@AllthingsIC @RNID I’ve recently started acknowledging my hearing loss as well. Better to address it and manage it than to avoid the topic.

@jameswester How about when you're expecting a call from someone and you pick up the phone and it's some random sales person, you tell them you're expecting another call and hang up, and then a week later they send you an email follow-up, acting like you expressed interest in their product?

@Arthur_Hodges Congratulations!

[Institute for Public Relations @InstituteForPR]

A warm welcome to our five new IPR Trustees: Jonathan Adashek of @IBM, Diana Littman of @MSL_USA, Arielle Patrick of @ArielInvests, Peter Lucht of @CitizensBank, and Arthur Hodges of @CoBank. We're so excited you all are joining us! ✨🌟

One good way to get permanently blocked from my inbox is to send a meeting invitation as a first contact before I even know who you are or what you do.

@Vimeo I'm trying to manage a business account team at https://t.co/BZ65luBIRO and someone doesn't show up in the count or list but if I try to add them I get "You've already added this team member." Help?

@APStylebook Looks like you have some expired certificates. https://t.co/QsJyqDsYlI

[Glen Turpin @GlenTurpin]

@APStylebook My IT team is telling me that there's a problem with your website's certificate. And therefore blocking the site. Is that a known issue? Are you working on a resolution?

[Glen Turpin @GlenTurpin]

@HelReynolds Coffee. Wine is for after the professional activity. It is arguably equally important for the professional, but coffee is more important for the profession.

Managing a remote organization relies on one key ability: writing. "You need to write down absolutely everything, from the start and your management must be good at writing." https://t.co/BKi1AWxk5T

@Jeff_C_Johnston If I were allowed to touch my face, I'd be facepalming so hard right now. https://t.co/vOiDHMiKP4

The U.S. economy’s plunge from COVID-19 is unprecedented. CoBank's @DanKowalski8 Discusses how agriculture will be somewhat shielded — but not immune — from the extreme volatility, as transportation and labor are areas of concern. #COVID19 https://t.co/nhLWAeIgJC
