@megberetta I’ve been! I will message you some recommendations.

@megberetta Hey, you should definitely do what me and Robin did. Friday, got the licenses, Saturday found an officiant, and Sunday got married in our parents backyard. We only really gave our family two days notice. It was super easy.

@AllieKnitNinja This contraption reminds me of the Flying Guillotine movies I recently watched :)

@worldofabe I’d ask you how your day is going, but I’d first have to get clearance from Public Opinion Research.

There’s much to learn about this story, like why do we dumb all the heavy thinking on the applicants? The government has the info and the rules we need for them to apply, so why not do the heavy lifting for the citizen? #gcdigital

I know not to disturb Robin during an important meeting because of Kaploosh’s vigilant guarding of her office door.

@goosefuzz You know, the generic children one refers to for no particular reason.

[George Salhani @george_salhani]

@goosefuzz Was it a big “smash” with the kids?

Man, I’ve hated forms all my life. I don’t know why, but I fill them wrong all the time, and make me anxious. This talk will really help with our work at Service Canada building a user centric digital service desk.

Product people.

It's not your job to have all the answers.

It's your job to ask the best the questions.

There's nothing more dangerous than a product person who thinks they have all the answers!

@megberetta I heard you, hehehe. Joking joking. You’re safe!

Oh my boy Jay-zz! I had to abandon him at the office because of Covid quarantine. I don’t know how he survived, but he’s still glorious after 6 months with no water. He’s now rescued and reunited with his siblings.

I’m too young to throw out my childhood Lego, but too old not to scrub the 20 years of mildew of them. I suspect this is an unspoken activity of people in their midlife.

@Copeland309 @sboots Was made of delicious cheese. Wait, I think I’m missing the point of this thread...

[George Salhani @george_salhani]

@AllieKnitNinja I’d love to find out how your kimchi turned out!
