I’m a Salesforce administrator.

Best Part - when I get to sit down and create a cool new feature or automation for my org, something that makes everyone’s lives easier and better.

Worst Part - having to teach users the most basic shit ever, like how to make a simple report.

Special Edition Worst Part - When I know things that my senior admin should know but doesn’t because she doesn’t seem to pay attention to anything she hasn’t directly touched, despite daily standups.

That’s super traumatic! I’m so sorry that happened to you.

The height of irony that Tumblr is better than Twitter at what Twitter was originally designed for.

I did some digging and Ironshod is apparently Anne Stokes’s deviantart account.

EDIT: Originally had been linking to the deviantart page but decided to go to the anne stokes gallery page and forgot to update the title.

Interacting with local people is definitely a good one. If there are any community events, especially recurrent ones, go there!

Mmm sasparilla

Oh cool! Our town does something similar in the summer. One street is dedicated to the farmer’s market, and several chunks of parking are converted to outdoor seating.

There’s something cathartic about seeing a comic character enact over the top violence on someone representing our everyday annoyances and rude people.

Your rage is justified and the phrase “It’s an attack on our personal space” absolutely nails it.

Wow, that is really interesting. Thanks for posting!

And knowing that the community (that I’ve curated anyway) is generally not toxic and overly hostile, especially to civil discourse. That fosters trust that if I engage, I’m not going to be downvoted and socially shunned because of some minor community fixation.

When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.

Ditto! Sometimes I struggle with getting carried away at night, but talking through to myself when I go to snack helps me with getting it back under control (…usually.) Just going “Why do I feel like I NEED a second dessert?” can sometimes get me to stop and walk away.

The fact that this meme is using Smithers is particularly ironic

I bet!! It sounds like you had a truly exhausting day!

I guess I’m surprised because I’ve never been at a hotel that didn’t have a lobby open 24/7. Sure you can’t check in, but I’m surprised you couldn’t plop down in a seat in the lobby and read or browse on your phone until you could check in.

They wouldn’t let you chill out in the lobby?

When I was a young teen, one of my friends gave me a floppy disk of midi song files she liked a lot but they mostly had names like “ANIME 2” so I had no idea where they came from. There was one on there I was particularly obsessed with but could never find. Then one serendipitous day, I did. It was The Destruction of Laputa from Castle in the Sky.

Edit: Or it was Sora from Escaflowne. There’s been a few times I heard an instrumental or non-English song with no source to go off of.

Oh, good song!

I think I’d like to get this; do you have a brand you can recommend?
