I will change the name to Ethan Brooks' Analyst when I hand it over He better not change it to Ethan Brooks' Senior Analyst while I'm OOO

Update: talked to my wife on the drive home We're taking a vacation soon First one in three years My analyst will be handling things while I'm gone From this account He's already asked twice if he can change the bio I said no Hope he doesn't say anything stupid I'll let you know when I turn over the reins

@MrsEthanBrooks If you are truly Mrs Brooks you would be looking at the ceiling.

I do not snore. I had no idea how invested some people are in a stranger’s marriage. Some of you need to spend more time outdoors. Plz pray. Thx.

@alt_w_v_g There are times when the student (or the analyst) becomes the master. Let him speak, you may learn something. It’s a great leadership quality.

My wife packed my lunch today First kind gesture since the list Opened it at my desk Sandwich Apple A note that said "we need to talk" And a test Two lines Positive I called her immediately I said "you have COVID?" She was quiet for a long time Then she said "I'm staying at my mom's tonight" I said "smart. I can't afford to be sick before tomorrow's session. I've been preparing all week." She hung up I think she's upset about the diagnosis Showed my analyst the test He looked at it Looked at me Looked at it again He said "boss man I don't think that's" I said "COVID. I know. Terrible timing." He closed his mouth He's been sitting at his desk very quietly for two hours I think he's processing the exposure risk Sent from my iPhone

Tennessee coach Rick Barnes says he does not cuss at his players in an article by The Athletic’s Brendan Marks 🍊 Mark’s article delves into coaches swearing habits in the NCAA Tournament, and a story from Barnes’ past details why he says he does not use foul language any longer. Then-Longhorns coach Rick Barnes called Damion James into his office to discuss what he could do to help Jones break out of a recent shooting slump. James asked if Barnes could use less profanity since he had never had anybody talk to him like that. “I said, ‘Damion, I give you my word, I will never curse again,” Barnes told Marks. “And I never have.” What a story 🔥

@BoCamaro Sounds like Hashimotos. Get your gut health under control. Gluten free. No alcohol. Sucks but will improve your health. Medicine is a life long thing.

So I had vloodwork done before I left to come to Atlanta. Been dealing with some health stuff for awhile, but my eyes have been a real worry. My vision is changing rapidly and I was told last year that if we don't get this inflammation under control that it could get really bad. Well, I got a call yesterday that we may have finally found the reason. Seems my thyroid is barely working. Kot only does this explain the extreme fatigue, but more importantly, it explains the hell my eyes are going through. I'm starting a medicine this morning to hopefully replace that hormone. The Doc said I sold start feeling better and my eyes should be much improved in the next couple of weeks to a month... I sure hope so. Any of you have issues with your thyroid? Did the meds help?

We are all Tennessee fans this March Madness 🍊

@SlopHq Truist Park which sits in the Battery would like to have a word. Especially with the apartments, restaurants and shops that surround the park.

every baseball stadium built after 1990 is surrounded by forty acres of parking lot that sits empty 280 days a year and we call this "economic development." wrigley is in a neighborhood. fenway is in a neighborhood. the sport was better when the stadiums were to

@alt_w_v_g No gridlines? He’s learning

The follow-up parent/teacher conference was yesterday My wife went alone I watched her pull out of the driveway Then I called my analyst He was already in his car Parked in the alley Engine running I wore cargo shorts Six pockets Pocket three had the school handbook Pocket five had a highlighter We arrived at 3:42pm Three minutes early My wife saw my analyst in the hallway before she saw me She stopped walking Then she saw me She said "why is he here" I said "support" She said "for what" I said "the meeting" She said "this is a parent-teacher conference and you aren't supposed to be here" I said "every meeting is a negotiation" She didn't move I held the door The teacher was waiting She was not alone The principal was seated beside her Arms folded They brought backup So did I My analyst sat down and opened his laptop He asked for the WiFi password The teacher said "we don't give that to visitors" He said "no problem" and turned on his hotspot I taught him well My wife put her head in her hands The principal introduced himself Firm handshake Said he wanted to "make sure we're all on the same page" I said "I love alignment" My wife looked at the ceiling The teacher pulled out a folder Same color-coded tabs as last time I respected the consistency She said our son has made "some improvements" but there are still "areas of concern" I said "can you quantify that" She said "it's not really a numbers-based assessment" I looked at my analyst He looked at me We didn't say anything The teacher said he still "challenges classroom structure" I pulled the school handbook from pocket three Page 34 Section 2.7 Parent Rights and Student Evaluation Standards I had highlighted six lines The principal looked at the handbook Then looked at my cargo shorts Then back at the handbook The teacher said there was an incident with a multiple-choice question She pulled out the test I pulled my copy from pocket two The teacher stopped talking My wife closed her eyes The question listed fifteen gender options My son selected none of them He wrote "Not applicable" Below that he wrote "Identified: Chromosome XY" Below that he wrote "Source: Biology textbook, page 217" With a footnote My wife looked at me She said "oh my god he's becoming you" I said "thank you" She said "that wasn't a compliment" The teacher said "that's not how multiple choice works" I said "was his answer correct" She paused The teacher looked at the ceiling Why does everyone keep doing that The principal stepped in He said "the concern isn't accuracy. It's compliance." I said "interesting. My auditors say the same thing." My analyst typed something I didn't ask what My wife looked at the ceiling again The principal said he thinks our son would "benefit from learning to work within established frameworks" I said "he will. And then he'll spend his career fixing them." Nobody spoke The teacher closed her folder The principal didn't shake my hand My analyst asked if there would be a follow-up The teacher said "I hope not" In the parking lot my wife said "you wore cargo shorts to a school meeting that you weren't invited to" I said "I needed the pockets" She didn't argue She said "we need to talk about this at couples therapy" I said "only if I can bring my analyst" She got in her car My analyst sent me his notes before I got to mine Formatted Bulleted With action items There were none Except for Plz Fix.

@BrandonGaudin @wileyballard_ No contact photo for Wiley?

Tried to call Wiley. Got sent to voicemail. We are already in midseason form.

@alt_w_v_g Remember. People leave managers more than they leave companies. You can give him all the lessons you want but that generation needs to feel some appreciation. Tough love can come with a hug or handshake.

Update: Monday 7:58am Walked in The analyst's desk was empty His coffee was still there from Friday Cold Lid off I checked Teams Last message: Friday 4:52pm "Heading to the escape room boss man. Back in an hour." That was three days ago I called him No answer I called again Nothing I called Karen She picked up on the first ring First time in history HR has ever answered immediately I said "where is my analyst" She said "that's the first thing you ask me after we were trapped in there all night?" I said "yes" She said "we got out Saturday morning" I said "how" She said "your analyst walked up to the door and pushed it" I said "and?" She said "it opened" The door was never locked Not once They sat in that room for 14 hours solving puzzles and looking for clues to unlock a door that was never locked in the first place All anyone had to do was try the handle I told her this on the phone Friday night She hung up on me I said "so where is he now" She said "I don't know. He said something about gridlines and walked out." I checked his desk again His laptop was open The model was on the screen Gridlines still on His legal pad was gone Apparently he brought it to the escape room to take notes on the clues I taught him well He went home Saturday morning and hasn't been back I think the escape room broke him Not the puzzles Not the padlock that didn't exist The realization that he spent Friday night trapped in a room with HR when he could have just walked out the door like I did at 4:58 Then he did exactly that He pushed the door open And left That kid is progressing faster than anticipated I've got some employee retention to do Karen came by my office at 9 She said "someone has a case of the Mondays" I said "I had a great weekend" She did not I looked at the model on his screen Gridlines still on I'm not fixing them That's his job If he figured out how to escape the escape room he can figure out how to get back to the office The door works both ways Sent from my iPhone
