      My mom leaving a serious, borderline urgent tone voicemail: Call me

      Me calling back: Is everything ok?

      My mom’s response: Oh I just wanted to hear your voice

        Mom: "Are you working today?"

        Me: "i go in tonight"

        Mom: "Call me tomorrow"

        Now i am panicking because she often does that with bad news. Usually though she doesn't have anything to actually say, just wanting to catch up. But why does it always have to seem like an emergency?

      Its all in service of the "This Meeting Could be a Phone Call > Could be an Email > Could be a Text Message > Could be in the trash" pipeline.

      Dear all software developers on the planet: Please implement a feature where all ellipses are forcibly replaced by a single period.

      If I get one more email from an older work colleague replying to me saying "That's great..." or "Give me a call..." or "Let's talk about that..." I will fucking lose it.
