My favorite part of being neurodivergent is being accused of “overthinking” by employers when I ask the very first clarifying question that comes to me. Bless their hearts; I haven’t even *begun* to think at this point. Amateurs.

Our employees have been begging us to try a four-day workweek. I'm open-minded, so we ran a pilot. Monday through Thursday. Same salary. Same workload. Productivity actually increased. People were happier. Turnover dropped. It was one of the most successful HR experiments we've ever conducted. So naturally we ended it. If they can get five days of work done in four days, imagine how much they can get done in five.

I thought they sent us a blue microwave by mistake but it turns out we just failed to remove the plastic protective covering. For five years.

Apparently people are folding their grocery bags into tiny perfect triangles now. I thought we all agreed the proper storage method was to nominate the strongest grocery bag and stuff 63 other bags inside it, like our mothers and grandmothers before us.

instead of saying “every monday” “every tuesday” etc we should say daily but based on the day of the week. mondaily. tuesdaily. wednesdaily. thursdaily. fridaily. saturdaily. sundaily. it feels like this was the whole purpose of their structure as words
