Do I know anyone at GitHub? My entire organization’s access to GitHub Actions is blocked because my corporate credit card has a $50o limit and I spent $509 on Friday. I’ve added my own credit card. Set the budget to $5000. Nothing is restoring access. I have a support ticket out but 🦗🦗🦗

When my husband died suddenly, half my household income disappeared overnight. I panicked and reached for what I thought were stable, boring jobs. They weren’t stable, and I was miserable. As a founder, I’m paying myself minimum wage until we raise. I’m also happier than I can remember being.

This is my third wedding anniversary since my husband passed away. It's a bittersweet day. If you know me IRL, I'd be grateful for a hello. If you don't know me in person, I'd be grateful for a cute animal or nature photo. Thanks for the support over these years.

I have been so annoyed by this block on my walking project. It’s kinda sorta marked on maps as a street, but it’s gated by fences on both sides. A construction crew was working on the fence just now on the Harrison side and I made it past. Success!

Just called Ally Bank about my deceased husband’s bank account and they asked to speak to the original account holder. “I’d love that too but he’s dead.” “We may still need to verify some information with him.”

Gemma accidentally spent 15 minutes on LinkedIn, and now she wants to tell you the Five Leadership Secrets she learned from playing with a tennis ball. Adopt her from the Santa Barbara Humane and will share all she knows about synergy and deliverables.
Wonderful black dog with white chest. 

Gemma accidentally spent 15 minutes on LinkedIn. She’s still trying to process all the posts that begin, “I wasn’t going to share this…” and somehow end with a life lesson involving a pigeon, a billionaire CEO, and “the power of authentic leadership.”

Fortunately, Gemma has no interest in becoming a thought leader. She’s much more interested in the important things in life: learning new tricks, exploring the world, and finding someone who appreciates both her big brain and her wonderfully expressive face.

At nine months old, this Border Collie and Black Labrador mix is smart, energetic, and always ready for her next adventure. She’s done well with other dogs and children and would thrive with an active family that’s excited to channel all that intelligence into hikes, playtime, training, and plenty of fun.

She may look like she’s about to tell you the five leadership lessons she learned from chasing a tennis ball, but we promise she’d rather just chase the tennis ball.

Gemma is available for adoption at our Santa Maria Campus. We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM every day except Wednesdays.
