Two recent conversations sparked by cryptic notes I scribbled on post-its:
At home
Mr E Man: “Cath, what’s an e-Pig?”
Me: “What?”
Mr E Man: “On this post-it, look. ‘e-Pig meeting'”
Me: “OH! That’s my short-hand for epigenetics”
Mr E Man: “Well, that’s disappointing.”
(I now write it as epiG instead of just epig).
At work
Colleague: “Tuesday looks like it’s gonna be interesting”
Me: “Huh?”
Colleague: “Your post-it says ‘Replacement brain – Tuesday'”
Me: “…Replacement brain sample. Arriving on Tuesday. I have to complete the work request details”
Colleague: “That makes more sense.”
In other brain-related slip-ups, I was working on a spreadsheet at the end of the day yesterday and kept mistyping “frontal lobe” as “frontal love”. In my defence, my day had started with a 6am teleconference, and it was 5pm at the time; deciding to go to the pub and finish the spreadsheet on Monday seems to have been a good call.
“Are Post-Its considered open source…?” Discuss… đ
They should make post-its pre-printed with different Creative Commons licensing options!
(I have some that are pre-printed with “WTF”, with little checkboxes at the bottom for “!”, “?”, and “?!”. Best office Secret Santa EVAH!)
Awesome! (For the record, I short hand e-pig to epi… Maybe not as good either) my main problem would be that ppl can’t really read my post its since my hand writing is a little…. Cursive? Challenged? Whathaveyou đ
As for the long word day, sounded very good to leave for beer. There will always be more to do Monday!
