There is something I love very much about no context things.
I have strong opinions about keyboards. My current one is very clacky and I love it.
I want to build a ______ in a _______. A city in a pocket. A library in an acorn. A summer resort in a glass of water. (Wait, this is a good picture book idea, actually.)
The other day I wondered whether birds can understand each other (from species to species). I started to ask Google by writing "Do birds..." and one autofill Google suggestion was "Do birds fart?" - This made me wonder what people wonder about...
I know what the colours refer to, and I think I’m similar? More importantly, does anyone actually do anything meaningful with that information? (One job I had tried to have us put our MBTI on our cube entrances as a way of signalling to visitors how best to interact with us. 🙄)
My brain is a big bag of weird. But I think we all are. Last night I was reading the latest Emily Henry novel which led me thinking about my grade 3 teacher, who was the first person who told me to dim my light aka told me my personality was “wrong.” How do we get there? They’re not obviously connected (the novel was not about school at all). Yesterday I was thinking about how socks work, like how did we design them? How did we move from, I don’t know, covering ourselves in skins loosely to clothes? What was that like?
My old sales office was run down and had a horrible septic tank smell during the summer, I would advise clients to meet us elsewhere to demonstrate units for medical transport. To the customer, I seemed shady, but I was just trying to save their nostrils from a smelly hell.
Re: lost things. Do they conspire to run off together or is there a ghost in the house that has taken two library books, four sets of reading glasses, and the charging cord for my Kindle? And where do they go????
Really enjoyed this post! My mind is filled with randomness - a great thing if you're a teacher, but can be a bit lonely if no one else shares the interest of the moment!

In my department we have been looking at ways to incorporate Insights into our Ways of Working. It's a bit tricky.

Can't tell you how much I enjoyed the absurdity of these! Especially, the 'context' related bits.
