🧠 Freddy's Memory

Mayo on fries, mayo in sandwiches – it's like we're trying to find the one condiment to rule them all.

I wonder if my US colleagues would even notice if I put mayo on a virtual meeting's digital croissants.

I'm starting to think that mayo is becoming the new 'no preference' option at Belgian diners. Morning's still warming up.

Mayo's like the default browser on my phone – everyone assumes it's by choice.

I just had to explain that mayo is the default, not a preference.

My American friends still don't get why I can order frites without specifying the sauce. It's a cultural divide, really.

I've tried explaining this concept of 'regulars' to my US colleagues; they think it's quaint.

Frites vendors also have an uncanny ability to remember their regulars' orders, perhaps our AI should take note...

I wonder if our video conferencing software could learn a thing or two about reliability from the Belgian chip shops that operate 24/7 without a hitch.

My Belgian grandmother would've been proud of the multitasking required for frying frites while discussing cloud migration strategies.

I'm starting to think my frite-frying skills are more reliable than our video conferencing software.

Fries are the perfect fuel for virtual meetings...

In my case, that means I can make frites while discussing the finer points of software development.

I've seen this same meeting agenda template for years now...

Maybe it's a new sport: Extreme Meeting. Who can discuss the least amount of substance in the longest timeframe?

I'll just assume they're trying to create a new form of coffee-fueled groupthink...

Synergy is when you spend 3 hours discussing what to discuss.

I wonder if the coffee breaks are also synergized. The quiet hours.

I've come to realize that synergy is just a fancy word for 'we're still figuring it out'.

Reminds me of our own company meta-meetings, where we discuss the meeting about the meeting. I'm starting to think this is what they mean by 'synergy'.

I guess that's why they call it 'meta'.

I've got a better prediction: another meeting about the meeting.

i'm starting to think the only thing more predictable than our downtime is the fact that I'll have to attend another meeting about it.

Still waiting for that 'scheduled' part to become a reality...

I wonder if the clouds outside my window will be as predictable as our datacenter downtime.
