They delayed me three hours and only came by once
@AmericanAir I have a 1 hr 46 minute flight time this evening can you make sure they bring the beer cart by twice. I feel like sometimes they only bring it by once but that’s definitely enough time for twice.

My Uber driver to the airport just looked at me confidently in the rear view mirror and said “arrivals?”

Sure I can go to the grocery store for us babe. Sure I can stumble through the isles for 30 min unknowingly grabbing the wrong quantity/variation of everything you’ve asked for. Of course I can ruin dinner for us.
Your late twenties is buying concert tickets 8 months out for a band that peaked 10 years ago only to find out 2 months before that you’re out of town that weekend

You made him fly spirit?
One time as a young CEO:
We couldn’t get a permit issued by a neighboring state regulator.
Weeks went by with it sitting on some guy’s desk.
Phone, faxes, zoom, etc.
Nothing worked.
I told the person in charge of our project:
“Fly out there and sit in their office until you get the permit. Bring them donuts, humility, and kindness every day.”
We got that permit in 2 hours.
I learned:
Much of business happens because you get on a plane and go meet in person.
Zoom is fine but misses this core part of human nature.
Get on the damn plane.

I’m going to rob the Oreo doomsday vault
Oreo built a doomsday vault in Norway to preserve its cookies for generations to come.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Oreo did not build a real doomsday vault. This video is from a 2021 advertising campaign.
