Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of January 16, 2023
• I’m really glad we’re past the point in our zeitgeist where The Black Eyed Peas are everywhere.
• Setting up a new computer has a way of opening your eyes to new ways of thinking. Or, or… and hear me out… you can just put the same settings in place and keep on trucking the way you have been.
• Most hotel conference center carpeting makes the floor look like it has pink eye. Funny that the industry remains in agreement of that design choice.
• I sound naive saying this, I know, and while I’m not an economist, I might be on to something here, so please, keep reading… The salaries of members of Congress should be reflective of the dollars put toward social programs. So, the more people they help, the more money they earn. And don’t make the budget argument. It doesn’t hold up. Budgets and money are only as real as we believe them to be. We can go ahead and make more and say it’s got value. Everyone will believe it because everyone already believes it.
• Living through gray Chicago winters doesn’t make you tough. It makes you resilient against the truth that you’re living in a depressing hellscape.
• Waking up unsure of how you got to bed or even what time you made your way to it while being stone-cold sober is a truly incredible feeling. I assume.
