2026: Week 11
Hey, Siri. Play Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira
Notes from the day
Mon, Mar 9
Trust me when I say OD consultants will find a way to throw an Amy Edmondson, Kim Scott, or Simon Sinek quote into as many slides in their presentation as possible.
Learned about animal profiles in today’s training session and found out I’m an owl.
Tue, Mar 10
Overheard someone in the office say, “I will just touch them internally.”
The person was most likely talking to a vendor and simply inferring they’ll have to regroup internally but I’m also not completely convinced.
Wed, Mar 11
Iced coffee seems to fix any problem.
Thu, Mar 12
Went in for an X-ray and an MRI for my lower back pain and while I was in and out of the former, I wasn’t spared with the second one.
Tried two different machines but it just triggered my panic attacks. I couldn’t get past one minute.
I’m telling you. If hell was a place on earth it would be in the form of an MRI machine.
Fri, Mar 13
I still wasn’t feeling very good due to the events from yesterday and I decided to take a day off work and instead take a 15-minute barre3 workout in preparation for a long bike ride tomorrow.
Sat, Mar 14
Rode out in my bike at around 3 in the morning but instead of enjoying a 150-kilometer ride, I went flying over my bars ultimately ending up in the emergency room with a broken collarbone. This isn’t how I pictured my weekend to go.
Sun, Mar 15
I guess I won’t be writing here for a while since I only have one functional arm for the next six weeks. This sucks.
