    Not xylophobic, just xylo-avoidant

    Have you ever been camping? I grew up as a child of the Pacific Northwest in a time before the internet. You bet your ass I’ve camped. My grandparents owned a winnebago, and we weekend RVed as far as the eye could see. Eating my weight in cheese at the Tillamook cheese factory? Check. Reading…

    Jayjay: professional job hopper

    Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. I don’t regret any of the promotions I’ve applied for at work, even though interviewing is one of my least favorite things on the entire planet. Prior to my current job, I spent several years as a very part-time freelance web designer, and before that,…

    The internet is a series of tubes.

    How do you use social media? Dude, I am the absolute worst at mediaing socially. And, no. I don’t care that verbing weirds language. Sometimes language needs weirding. Many eons ago, before the dawn of time, when there were only BBSes and then the IRC, I was actually halfway passable at conversing with creepy strangers…

    On uterine cohabitation

    Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. As a person who dislikes inaccurate language, I have, at times, insisted on referring to non-identical female/female twins as sororal, rather than fraternal. Frater: Latin for brother Soror: Latin for sister Fratrem: Latin for sibling That brought to mind that there doesn’t seem to be…

    I am the behavioral problem

    The fastest way to ensure I never do something a 2nd time is to give me positive reinforcement the 1st time. The VP of our division complimented me on a report I wrote today and I’m ready to quit my job and flee the country. Mind you, the 2nd fastest way is to give me…

    Yuma, AZ (sorry, not sorry)

    What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? According to the googs, Yuma AZ is the sunniest place on earth. Arizona is also, not surprisingly, quite hot. Both of those things make it a hard nope for me. #JustGingerProblems

    Team Monty Mushroom for life

    What is your favorite restaurant? 100% White Spot. It has been a family favorite since long before I was born, and was where we went to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and good report cards (not that I ever had any other kind of report card…) Sadly, thanks in part to covid, the few White Spots in…
