Just spent a couple hours, beginning with a 20-minute phone call with a product manager.
No, you canāt use that graph for that purpose. None of it is on a basis that is useful for what youāre trying to demonstrate. It doesnāt mean what youāre trying to do at all
Okay but I was thinking, doesnāt the downward slope of the line imply-
No, all of those prior years have been on-leveled, developed, trended, and other adjustments made. They are not actual historical experience and cannot be used for what youāre suggesting. I have some other ideas, likeā¦
Yeah but I was hoping I could just use the graph
Please donāt use this graph here. It does not apply. I have other ideas to communicate-
But I really like the graph
how the hell are you supposed to have time to fix stuff if youāre in meetings all day?!?!
I might start having to GAF soon. Just a little.
I really need this week to end, really the past two weeks have been madness as we head into a board meeting next week. My last call ends at 3:30 and Iām likely looking at happy hour very shortly thereafter. Itās 77Ā° so I might walk to my closest brewery.
Been exhausted all week in spite of it not being especially strenuous or action-packed. Today is no exception. GAF-o-meter: 0. 
Got a haircut, did some errands, now at sbux to continue with my Excel course. Apart from that, IDNGAF.
I drank a :mtdew: and ate a pop tart and a hot pockets. I dngaf. Itās Friday.
Starting to feel a little crappy from the vax, just in time to log off and start the weekend.
Fancy glass!
Dipped into my pool after a workout.
(Checks watchā¦) Yeah, still working.
Hope it didnāt ruin your whole weekend.
Iām not allowed to get my flu shot until the end of the last of three action-packed weekends in a row this month. (Wedding this weekend of the couple that introduced us, one-year anniversary weekend getaway the next weekend, sister-in-lawās phd graduation party the weekend after that.)
Hit the farmersā market, gonna continue on with the Excel course, and apart from that IDNGAF.
ETA: I made some dough for bread!!
extremely bored and thin to-do list today and not many in-person students today 
Itās already after 1:00p Eastern though, so that much closer to tonightās rehearsal dinner. GAF-o-meter: 0 
I donāt know what happened, but work is pretty quiet today. Iāve got one thing to do thatāll take me a half hour, and two brief calls, I see myself hitting happy hour by 4:00 today. Our new Chief Analytics Officer wanted to make some improvements to one of our models, and Iād already implemented like 80% of them but hadnāt shown anyone the new model until yesterday, so Iām still riding that high.
Iām going to join the army and change my last name to Wanagohom. Then Iāll be GI Wanagohom.
Hit the farmersā market this morning, gonna continue on with my Excel course, and NGAF about anything else.
ETA: Freshly baked bread cooling on a rack!! 
On my way to Syracuse for a weekend shopping and dining spree!
