Hi, hello, how are ya?
I used to spend most of my work day on Twitter; now I barely ever log in. I keep getting notifications on my phone app, though, begging me to come back and engage.
Here's the thing: being on GC Twitter is hard for me. Which is not the whole truth.

Being on Twitter, seeing all my friends and contacts from a previous life (aka job/community) is actually traumatic for me.
I have PTSD from working in GC, and logging on here, seeing all the conversations I'm no longer a part of, is very triggering. So I stay away.

Struggling with the balance of using my phone as my only means of connecting to any other human right now while also being so sick and tired of looking at my phone.

Hi friends - is anyone still using @boardthing? I am trying to create a new account and it keeps asking me to sign in? anyone know a way around this?
One year ago I went to my doctor and, while having a panic attack in her office, told her I didn't think I had an anxiety problem.
Happy anniversary to me and my anxiety meds - which have changed my life for the best - because my Doctor encouraged me to talk. #BellLetsTalk
I had such a great time at @OneTeamGovCan's #OttawaUnconference today: catching up with some great people, sharing honest conversations, and making new friends. Who could ask for anything more? Thanks to the incredible team of organizers and volunteers for such a special day.

A common question we ask ourselves: what impact have I had on my work?
A less common question: what impact has my work had on me?
Maybe it's as important to consider how our work changes us as how we change it.
Reflecting back, my work has changed me a lot. Anyone else?
I do not believe a person exists who can resist bopping along to George Michael's "Faith" whenever it hits the ol' ears.

I would like everyone to know that I just had a *perfect* BLT bagel for breakfast and I don't care what happens for the rest of the day because it's all downhill from here.

It’s almost time for me to spend weeks obsessing over which 2020 planner to buy even though I will stop using it by March.
My body is basically held together by opinions, so having to keep silent on the social meeds during this election has been challenging. In the light of this post-election day, I'll finally get my say:
Every single candidate looks tired and I hope y'all get some rest. 😴
