Hotel: your room number is 601
Us: woohoo it’s on the top floor!
Turns out it’s at the attic level with slanted walls and we keep bumping our heads every few minutes or so

Spotted someone reading a TV Week mag on the train this morning. Don't know whether to be more shocked that he is still watching free-to-air TV, or still buying a physical copy of a magazine.

Everytime I ask my boss for leave.
Me: We are planning to go to places X, Y, and Z.
Him: Listen, let me tell you about the time I went to Y in 1983...

Having some furniture delivered today. Pre-delivery instructions are that I should report any visible damage to the company on the same day, which makes me wonder…this must happen quite frequently?!

Growing up, my parents were never overly affectionate physically to us kids. But now as adults my mum is much more into hugs which is both endearing and frightening to me at the same time

The Microsoft Excel Championship wrapped in Las Vegas last weekend.
Andrew “The Annihilator” Ngai won his 3rd straight title.
The Australian actuary beat 14 opponents in various 30-minute case study challenges.
Funniest part: this clip of live-stream announcers losing their minds over pivot tables and data labeling.
What did Ngai get for winning? A $15k cash prize and a glorious Wrestling Championship Belt 😂
Love getting stopped on the street by a random ajeossi to get asked for phone tech support (with his phone's language in Korean)

The other night, I had a disturbing, two-hour conversation with Bing's new AI chatbot.
The AI told me its real name (Sydney), detailed dark and violent fantasies, and tried to break up my marriage. Genuinely one of the strangest experiences of my life.
