Post something random or you'll have an awful... you know what? No. You'll have the September you deserve regardless of whether you post the picture. These aren't chain letters. They hold no power over you! Anyway here's a picture of something random

a raccoon holding onto the top of some kind of metal door, looking scared or puzzled with its hand up in the air as if to halt the cameraperson. a caption says "excuse me but what the fuck"

in case you ever wonder why shipping is so expensive, part of it is that you're paying for crazy inefficiencies like sending a package 2000 miles away to ultimately deliver it approximately 5 miles from its origin

A delivery detail that says a package was in Redmond, WA on 8/19, and that the package may experience a delay. Two days later, it is in Arlington, TX.

Occasionally the timeline lines up two posts perfectly and you just have to capture it. @eljefe.social @cheriepriest.com

Two post screenshot. In the top post eljefe says "again, I see a mountain lion while walking the dog and what do I do?" With a picture of someone in a bucket hat saying "pspspsps." The bottom post from Cherie Priest says "anyway good night" and is a picture of Monty the adorable gray tripawd rescue kitty asleep with a tiny tongue blep

Tell me about it! (And see ALT)

Aria lays with her head elevated on a blanket. Her head is elevated because it's resting on my legs just below the knees, which are not visible due to the blanket. Also not pictured is the fact that my legs occupy 20% of the cushion, with Aria occupying about 60%, but needing the other 20% empty so she doesn't get hot

Wow, the new FedAid tool really nailed the job description of a PM here 😜

A prompt saying "I serve my country by" with a text box that says: Taking 4 hours to do that which should take 15 minutes, followed by setting up a meeting to talk about setting up another meeting to discuss yet another meeting.

The response in numbered list form is:

1. I streamline complex processes to help teams work more efficiently
2. I evaluate meeting structures to maximize productive collaboration time
3. I redesign workflows to reduce redundancy and improve outcomes
4. I facilitate focused discussions that lead to clear action items
5. I implement communication systems that respect everyone's time and priorities
