I was so excited when I thought “Tiffinity” would be a great name after my sex change.

Get it? “Tiffany” + “Infinity” mashed together! It’s brilliant.

I googled it and then: https://tiffinity.com/about

Tiffinity is a platform that connects users to tasty homemade food all around them. Currently serving Ahmedabad (West).

Nothing to do with either Tiffany or infinity. 🙄

Co-worker: Are you listening to The Offspring?

Me: Shut up. It’s got one of the trippiest bass lines in the history of ever. Plus “I like the abuse.”

After upgrading to iOS 10.3.2, the system asks to turn on iCloud Photos. I accidentally agree because I’m doing other stuff on my phone. The dialog box also comes out of no where.¹

Ten or so minutes later I go to Settings and turn it back off because that’s how it was before this latest upgrade.² Then I go to my photos to check that they’re still there. I was confident Apple would do the right thing. Instead more than half are gone.

Now I’m restoring my phone from the latest backup.

This is why I tell people to NEVER let iCloud touch their photos. Stuff like this ALWAYS happens.

¹ Apps really need to learn that if I’m interacting with the phone at any time to not interfere. Just pause your dialog boxes, your alerts, your whatevers until there’s no activity for a few seconds. If I’m touching and tapping my phone and then a dialog comes up, it’s the equivalent of interrupting me when I’m talking. It’s jerky and rude.

Even worse is when the dialog box forces me to make a choice. You know what my choice is? Finish what I was originally doing and NOT deal with iCloud Photos. Because ya know, I was doing something. And I’ve already dealt with that dialog question five times before.

² Funny that NOT ONE other app asks me to change one of its settings after the upgrade. Not one.

Park district websites are worse than school websites…🙄

I’d rather someone just hit my fingers with a hammer than try to find and register Maggie for a summer camp.

I’m not psychic but my anxiety tells me that I am. Usually when “I know” someone’s up to no good (without any evidence), they’re not.

It’s the shit from left field that I’m not expecting that zaps my serenity. As an example: when you say happy Mother’s Day and you get the cold shoulder. Not what I was expecting.^[1]

Best thing for me to do when my ESP flares up is just to keep my mouth shut. Let things play out without interfering. Stomping down the wrong path because “I know” turns me into that person who’s up to no good.^[2]

I can deal with the zappers^[3] because when I’m being the best me that I can, I know the cold shoulders aren’t about me. It might take me a few minutes to find my spiritual footing and regain my truth but it’s there if I cosmic pause and look for it.

I can also be a little more wary of those people who are legitimately known to be up to no good. No reason to be casting the pearls. People can be careless and reckless. I needn’t let them spoil my fun.

I shouldn’t spoil my own fun either.
