Jesu, Juva

Metábasis eis állo génos (3-9)

I typed “poli” in the browser bar to get to my political Twitter list. My fingers landed one position to the left so I got “oiku” instead. Thinking I need to start a new list now.

My wife and I took a trip recently and we had a lot of opportunities to experience and evaluate service and hospitality. It was always best when personality was subdued. At the same time my company sent out a survey to measure how comfortable everyone feels bringing their “authentic self” to work. Even setting aside the fact that I’m literally not allowed to bring my own authentic un-jabbed self to work, the contrast made me laugh. I am a better and more effective programmer and architect if my personality remains subdued behind my “mask.” See: Manners, Nowhere, Personhood.

Got this laugh today and it was too good not to share. pic.twitter.com/dEIdrOUW9s

This is a guy who in years past, to his own hurt was so (lower-case c) catholic that he would never dare to steal a sheep from another pastor.

He told me "@BonifaceOption, I have changed my mind. Those churches are harming them and they need to get out. Steal away."
