It’s Boxing Day (no relation to the Boxer Rebellion)

I had a coworker who just always assumed the two ”box” events were related. I questioned it. We looked it up. She was embarrassed but also glad because she’s a librarian so she likes knowing stuff but even more she likes getting her facts right.

Moral of the tale: it’s okay to question when something doesn’t sound right. Just don’t be a jerk about.

And it’s 100% cool to admit you were wrong when you are. Only assholes hide behind, “Well I don’t know about that,” when their facts don’t line up. I get that you didn’t know but now you do so stop saying shit that you now know is not true. That’s how learning works.

So that’s the brilliant post-holiday message I thought up in the shower. It’s a bit judgy. And I guess I’m just not feeling that judgy right now.

I had a merry Christmas.

Oh I did not get the chill no-contact-with-the-world peace-on-earth goodwill-to-men-as-long-as-I-don’t-have-to-deal-with-people-for-three-days hermit’s holiday I planned.

But it was a good Christmas even with other people.

I hope y’all had a similarly nice holiday. And if not this year, then I’ll keep my fingers crossed for next year for you.

p.s. Maybe a little judgy. But, you know, just general baseline judgy.

p.p.s. Why does this autocorrect like “judgy” fine sometimes but change it to “judge” other times? Okay, maybe autocorrect is never fine with “judgy” — I always get the squiggly red line — but it lets “judgy” pass about half the time (while totally rolling its eyes at me and don’t even try to tell me that autocorrect can’t roll eyes because it does have eyes).

judgy. judgy judgy judgy judgy. Huh. It let all of those pass. I have taught autocorrect a word — and it learned. It’s a Chri-

Nope. Too overused. Sorry.
