I strenuously avoid
- Purchasing books from Amazon. An exception is my Audible subscription.
- Facebook/Meta participation, personal and professional. My very famous “I don’t do Facebook” declaration [on my personal Facebook account] has stood lonely and coldly for more than a decade: “This is where I tell you that I don’t do Facebook…..”(1)
- Initiating conversations or greetings (even brief greetings) to night owls and assorted others who have indicated that they are not morning people. Point taken. Please note I might be much too busy being cheerful and super productive between the hours of 6.15 and 10.30 am to care very much. I won’t get my undies in a bundle about your boundaries. Fact: some very fine people lack capacity to appreciate The Lark, the early risers, and others like me who lark around.
- Workplace use or display of coffee mugs with cute or clever sayings or messages that just flat out over promise. Whoa. Problematic.
- Being late. I am never late. Nor would I ever state “I am running late.” If you were really running, you would not be late.
- Cussing.
- Rushing. Rush is a four letter word as I learned when I lived in Tennessee.
- Fast food. I like slow eats.
- Ball point pens.
- Using PowerPoint for presentations. Slide decks and bullet points? I think not.
Note
(1) No to FB and Meta:
And Yes to Meta2!
