This is super funny because literally everyone internally at Xbox not on this project seems to feel it's so blisteringly useless that it would slow down their workflow massively.

get paid for your work. back up your clips often. within reason, say "fuck it" and apply it to whatever it is you're doing. time will pass and you *will* regret wasting evenings and weekends. sometimes it can't be helped. but try to stop to smell the roses. you and your writing will be better for it

Hey so today is my birthday! It’s also a year since Jessica was diagnosed with MS. Despite the challenges, she’s been handling everything with grace. If you’re inclined to get me something, please support my wife’s efforts to raise awareness for MS. ☺️ events.nationalmssociety.org/index.cfm?fu...

Like... I'm not just being weird right? Like "semiweekly" isn't a word and I assume what they mean is two times a week... which is also "biweekly", right? And "semimonthly" is EXTRA NOT A WORD... IT WOULD ALSO BE BIWEEKLY!
