Me: Let’s see who among my LinkedIn connections has qualitative research in their profile. Maybe I can eyeball their jobs and see what might be worth exploring for my next thing.

I ran the introductory adventure for Hero Kids for M & W. It was a lot of fun and now I’m very tired. 🎲

I played a LOT of the Pokemon TCG in my freshman year of college, burned a lot of scholarship money on it. When I stored it away I wasn’t planning to keep all my cards and share them with my kid but I’m sure glad I did.

If you must get a flat tire, I recommend doing it on a beautiful day when you have snacks packed in the car and plenty of data on your mobile plan so your kid can watch Pokemon while you wait for AAA. Bonus if you’ve done everything you can to mitigate your migraine.
