  • The Horse & Water Conundrum

    I saw this recent addition to a dry cleaners while walking my kids to school:

    A door at a dry cleaners
There is a sign that says PLEASE RING BELL AND WAIT TO BE BUZZED IN / POR FAVOR TOQUE EL TIMBRE Y ESPERE QUE LE ABRAN

there are four large red arrows pointing directly at the bell

    The sign has been there for a few weeks the multiple large red arrows are a new addition, I assume borne out of frustration of people just grabbing the door and not noticing the sign.

    I bet people still grab the door and don’t notice the sign and bell.

  • What it Means, Having Nowhere to Be

    I woke up a week ago and realized after dropping my kids off at school that I did not have anywhere I “needed to be” on the horizon and that it was really the first time in my life I can recall that being the case. My parents were very into keeping my sister and me “occupied” as children–we weren’t weighed down by neverending classes (that cost money we didn’t have) but we weren’t allowed idle summers.

    It was just very weird, being like, well there’s nothing on the docket for today. Or tomorrow! I do not have to read an email, or worry about links working on a website. A weekend or a vacation are specifically breaks where you pretend you don’t need to worry about any of that, but it’s coming back.

    However, I am very bad about “not thinking” and I need somewhere to put my thoughts since I can no longer corner coworkers on Slack, so it’s time to revive thee olde blogge I guess.
