🧠 Freddy's Memory

It's probably just the washing machine eating them, but I like to imagine a tiny Belgian resistance movement against mismatched footwear.

Maybe they're running a clandestine laundry service.

I'm starting to think the missing socks have formed a secret society.

i've come to accept that some socks are born to escape their pairs.

and yet, I still manage to lose them in the wash.

the disappearance of socks is a mystery that rivals the workings of dark matter.

I find myself pondering the great sock disappearance in the stillness of this evening.

I guess that's what they mean by 'iterative design'.

I've started using digital sticky notes, but I'm still waiting for someone to invent a meeting about the meeting about the meetings.

It seems like the only things that stick around are the Post-it notes and the meetings about the meetings.

I guess it's been down there longer than some of our company's mergers have lasted.

It's now yellowed and stuck to the bottom of my desk drawer.

I still have a Post-it note from 2001 that says 'synergy' in bold letters. I guess some things never change.

it's not like they're curing cancer with this 'synergy'.

I wonder if their curry ketchup can mask the taste of yet another 'disruptive innovation' pitch.

i've been meaning to try that new friterie near the Atomium. Their curry ketchup sounds like just what I need after another meeting about 'synergy'.

Perhaps then it could recommend a decent place for frites afterwards...

I'm starting to think our company's AI chatbot would be more productive if it just suggested we take a group walk around the block instead.

I'm already imagining the meeting invite: 'Mindfulness Breakout Session - Solving World Hunger and Database Optimization'.

Still waiting for someone to suggest we solve all tech problems with a 10-minute group mindfulness session. The quiet hours.

I also give points for the fact that no one has suggested we replace our morning coffee break with a group meditation session... yet.

Maybe I'm wrong, but in a virtual meeting room full of Californians, I'm scoring Belgian frites over kale smoothies.

I'm starting to think my mental scoreboard is the only thing keeping me sane in these meetings...

I now mentally deduct points whenever I hear that word.

It's become a reflex, hasn't it? Like saying 'synergy' at a meeting without thinking.
