Just the passing musings of a bewildered mind.

@BofA_Help, 48 minutes. That's how long I waited to your call hold message thanking me for my patience. Here's the thing: I'm not that patient. Do better.

From @DeptofDefense's @LinkedIn: “Two @DARPA satellites that were recently launched into #space are progressing on their mission. The deployment is a key step toward the realization of a global, high-speed space network across the DOD.” https://t.co/CWIKrgpUK2

Reminds me of the time @nabelekt accidentally DELETED the @CoMoNewman website as the tech intern 🤣

Engineering colleague: “You have an interesting mind.”

Good friend, a few months later: “You have an interesting mind.”

🤷🏼‍♂️ Thanks?

A whole lot of people on social media never took courses in epidemiology and it is REALLY starting to show.

I feel like @realDonaldTrump uses the phrase "we've never seen anything like it" as an unconscious filler like most people use "um".

It is a REEEEEAAAL awkward time to have a chronic cough. #coronavirus

[Thomas Nabelek @nabelekt]

#soup is incredibly underrated. It’s easy. It’s cheap. It’s (generally) healthy. It’s good. I mean, what more can you ask for??

[Thomas Nabelek @nabelekt]

How is @Charmin not leaning into this whole #coronavirus #toiletpapercrisis HEAVILY right now? Would obviously have to be done delicately, but missed opportunity for sure.

[Thomas Nabelek @nabelekt]

I’ve never been aware until now of how much I touch my face. #coronavirus Why is my head so heavy??

[Thomas Nabelek @nabelekt]

Today, I let my people at @BallAerospace know that I’ll be leaving soon for a different career opportunity. And honestly that’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to breaking up with somebody. And it sucked. I promise it’s not you, it’s me!

Guy opens and steps though the outhouse door. He sees me, smiling. Gesturing towards the toilet seat as I approach, he says, “table for one.”

~30 yo engineering colleague: “What do you want to be when you grow up, Thomas?”

me: “I’m still trying to figure that out.”

colleague: “Yeah, me too.”

I think I’m self-conscious about people knowing that I take baths.

Welcome, my friend. We’ve been expecting you

[Thomas Nabelek @nabelekt]

I seem to be getting angrier as I get older.

[Thomas Nabelek @nabelekt]

@SaraWasinger You talkin to me?

[Thomas Nabelek @nabelekt]

...was on pickup attempt number two for her order. While I often appreciate a lesson in patience, this one was unwarranted. This system is a great idea, but completely falls apart when you have such a (apparently) severe understaffing problem. Get it together, please.

[Thomas Nabelek @nabelekt]

Hey, @walmart. Tonight I waited 51 minutes to pick up my grocery order. During that time, all 10-12 pickup spots were full, I heard one lady say she’d been waiting an hour and a half, I saw three different people give up and leave, and I got to know a nice girl who...
