Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of July 23, 2023

By David Himmel

• You know that feeling when you’re dead-weight tired but the high-octane coffee kicks in and your appendages are shaking and you have to pee and your brain is jerking to life like a peg-legged high school sophomore ridding the clutch on a stick shift? Yeah, that feeling sucks.

• I love it when my inbox has double digit new messages and they’re all junk mail I can just release. Without social media posts, that’s my dopamine rush.

• My greatest fear is being asked by a stranger for directions.

• Don’t be a quitter, be a failure.

• I’ve reached the point in my life where I’m more than happy to shut the fuck up. And, because I’m still who I always was, I’m just as happy for you to shut the fuck up, too.

• No matter how smart and capable we think we are, there is still plenty for us to learn. For example, did you know that the phrase “Get your rocks off” is sexually explicit and shouldn’t be said in a work meeting? Because I didn’t know that yesterday.
