Was filling out a work form on a portal and –I don't mean to distrub anyone too much (especially over the weekend)– but the 8 and the 3 were upside down.

I hate that people keep saying “the girls are fighting” in reference to the fighting clowns “Girls” are way less emotional.

I've taken to writing the name of what emoji I want to use inline and then using iOS autocomplete to transform it. Didn't think you could do it on macOS but you can! Just write the word and hit the emoji/fn key ⌨️

Had a superb morning! Got up extra early to get a run in (~5a), and back just in time for 730am coffee w/ @darn.es and 🇬🇧 crew. Meeting ppl you've known for the 1st time IRL is always a delight! I then chaperoned the team all the way to the Shopify event, and that's when the fun actually started... 🙃
