Do Not Microwave Fish Ever Again

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:00:00 -0400

We draft our way through the most relatable corporate annoyances, from out of office messages that help to video calls that should have never happened. Along the way, we rant about work travel, office microwaves, and the small tech failures that can derail a meeting in seconds. • Patreon plug for storytelling and presentation skills using the Hero’s Journey and the Amazon method • Why business travel lingers in your brain and why flying feels uniquely miserable • The case that incentives and regulatory capture keep travel and other systems worse than they need to be • Nostalgia marketing, Pepsi Man, and why weird ideas can win attention fast • Top three out of office messages and what makes them actually useful • The most ridiculous and uncomfortable things seen on video calls • What should never go in the office microwave and why the smell never dies • Meeting interruptions that wreck focus like dogs, forced updates, and Microsoft Authenticator • Practical meeting survival tips like two devices, cloud decks, and sharing a window not a screen • Work laptop hygiene, personal data boundaries, and why tabs and notifications betray you Please share this with your friends, family, neighbor, and co-workers.
