My employer is running ads in selected markets during the Super Bowl tomorrow. I was thinking about the last time I worked for a company that advertised on TV. The first thing that entered my mind was when I was with AT&T in the 1990s. Then I remembered that my last employer was Macy’s. I’m not sure if I didn’t think of them first because their advertising is so ubiquitous or because I try not to think about my time there.

Stay healthy and safe.

Work conversation today:

“There’s a big project that has a lot of attention that’s behind schedule. We need a new project manager to come in and get it back on track. Are you interested?”

“Sure.”

“Are you sure? You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.”

“I’m sure. Let’s do it.”

Stay healthy and safe.

I’ve been taking Finnish lessons on Duolingo. (I’m 25% Finnish and have cousins there so why not?) I’ve been learning important conversational phrases like:

  • Minä olen velho. (I am a wizard.)
  • Onko norjalainen kissa viikinki? (Is the Norwegian cat a Viking?)
  • Voi ei, oopperatalo on täällä ja isä taas laulaa. (Oh no, the opera house is over here and Father is singing again.)

To be fair, I can also say “Yksi kahvi, kiitos” which means “One coffee, please.”

Stay healthy and safe.
