New instance so I guess new intro? I haven't done one in years, so here goes... Dad x2 (teen and a toddler 😳) Happy and devoted husband to @jillianmarisa@rosafamily.social. Liberal. Enthusiastic Missouri Master Naturalist and somehow President of the KC chapter. 🤷‍♂️ Tootin' since 2022. Mastodon made me a Linux-using, #fedifirst, FOSS evangelist. I dig: Conservation + naturalist topics, photography (mostly birds these days) postcards 'n travel. Leader @ a Conglom-O Corp thankfully doing tech that isn't evil. Washed up travel influencer. I still help run @AirlineReporter & host a Mastodon community of travel/airplane geeks @ AvGeek.Social. Growing a family, chickens and multiple gardens while renovating my childhood home: Grandpa's 1960 house here in beautiful Lee’s Summit, MO, US (KC-metro) #Missouri #KC-ish #Travel #Postcards #DadOps #CorpLife #Gardening #Zone6B #introduction

Something I’ve learned in the corporate world is biz bros HAAATE when their industry is subject to “commoditization.” That’s their buzz for ‘waahhhh, our competitors are competing / any differentiation or advantage we had is gone, so we can’t overcharge anymore’ ANYWAY. All of this #AIshit? It’s already mostly commoditized. Some outliers, sure. But that’s got to mean we’re in a bubble, right? #CorpLife #LLM #GPT #MicroSlop #AIslop #AIbubble

"Sorry for the duplicate meeting invite. I used copilot for the first one, and it missed a bunch of people. It won't let me delete the first one." #CorpLife #MicroSlop #Copilot #AIshit

#telework #corplife I feel annoyed when coworkers start a teams chat with "you in the office today?" because 1. my calendar is up to date. If it actually mattered, they could just check. And 2. We have all these digital collab tools and 90% of my company isn't in the same office building so it really shouldn't matter. I've yet to run into the problem we couldn't solve with a screen share and a phone call. But it occurred to me today that 9 times out of 10 this question is probably just someone fishing for an excuse to procrastinate.

I'm still 🤯 at a meeting I had with the boss of my boss last week. She told me we're breaking down silos between business units, and not 2 minutes later told me there isn't an appetite to combine the same meetings with similar folks doing the same sort of work across sister business units. #CorpLife

I have been using Outlook for literal decades. Microsoft has managed to botch #NewOutlook so bad, that I'm now at the stage of not trusting it will do anything I want it to. I canceled a meeting series last week. It's back. I canceled it again today, and now folks are somehow ACCEPTING the cancellation? 30% AI code, indeed. Make it make sense! (This is at work, I have no choice) #CorpLife #Microsoft #Office365 #Outlook #AISHIT
