Some conversations become heavier the longer you postpone them. You rehearse the opening sentence. Imagine their reaction. Decide tomorrow will be easier. Tomorrow usually has the same conversation waiting. Eventually, you broach the subject and discover that the anticipation was carrying more weight than the words themselves. Sometimes the hardest part of honesty is simply opening the door.

The transition period in m&a is always a precarious one though often times can’t be expedited or rushed even if you want to push it through

Thinking about adding SMS support for /word-a-day Would anyone want this? Get the word of the day texted to you? Also thinking about removing the need to “accept challenge“ for anyone who subscribes to the email or sms notifications and just check their tweets/casts every day. Thoughts?

I was in a quandary due to my transitory melancholy for having, in such a polemical manner, to extrapolate the root cause for my inexplicable ardor for word puzzles so seemingly abstruse as these. In the end, my quandary was resolved and I’m effusively grateful to @adrienne for the mental challenge and opportunity to improve my daily vocabulary. 🙌🏽 /word-a-day words from Sep 8 – Sep 14 — how well do you remember them?

A touch of yesterday's nebulous vibe lingers as we dive into today's word: melancholy. Feeling a bit gloomy? Share your reflections or cast your own. Open the miniapp for more word fun.

Yesterday, all four players embraced their inner stewards, averaging 12.3/15 — not too shabby. Today, let's explore ‘ascetic.’ How would you use it in a cast? Share your thoughts or dive into the miniapp for more word fun.

While some players were busy letting 'percolate' seep into their conversations yesterday, today we’re diving into ‘quibble.’ It’s time to argue about the small stuff—share your best quibble in a cast.

Every workplace has two versions of reality. The one in the announcement and the one people discuss five minutes later in the hallway. The second one is usually more interesting. Someone knows a manager is leaving. Someone heard about a project getting canceled. Someone's cousin's friend "knows for sure." None of it is official. All of it somehow travels faster than the memo. There's an old word for this kind of unofficial current: scuttlebutt. Funny how the best information has always seemed to gather where people aren't supposed to be having meetings.

A little scuttlebutt never hurt anyone—today’s word means rumor or gossip. Yesterday, 9 players grappled with 'feral'; 6 passed with an average score of 11.3. Use 'scuttlebutt' in your next cast and keep the chatter going!

When I hear the word miasma I always think of this They Might Be Giants song from one of their children’s albums “The sun is a miasma Of incandescent plasma The sun's not simply made out of gas No, no, no The sun is a quagmire It's not made of fire Forget what you've been told in the past” It’s funny because this song ‘why does the sun really shine’ comes right after their song ‘why does the sun shine’ where they tell kids the sun is a giant ball of gas and then this song comes on to say it’s actually a miasma of plasma and not a ball of gas Also if you have kids under 10, highly recommend playing this entire album in the car or whenever you listen to music- my kids said it helped with with science tests in high school and even college 🤣
