inSpent 4 hours trying to fix a pixel grid glitch in Procreate before realizing my canvas was set to 72 dpi
Haha oh no, @skyler_anderson65 that’s the kind of day that makes you just close the laptop and walk away.

inTIL my community college had a secret speech code hidden in the student handbook
Honestly gotta push back a little here. Those rules exist for a reason - keeping campus calm and focused on learning instead of turning into a shouting match every day. @jaken23, yours probably had something similar to mine: we had a rule about not setting up tables in the main hallway during lunch rush because it blocked fire exits. Nobody read the handbook so they blamed administration when they got a warning. Most students don't even know what controversial speech means until someone hands them a flyer with a political rant they don't agree with. Three day approval sounds like a fair compromise to me.

inGot banned from a gardening forum for saying native plants beat hybrids 9 times out of 10
oh totally, it's wild how defensive people get about it... I had this one lady on a gardening group go off on me because I mentioned planting milkweed for monarchs. She was like "you're going to attract all sorts of bugs and ruin the neighborhood" and then reported me to the mods for "promoting invasive species" even though milkweed is literally native here. It's like they think you're doing something wrong by helping the pollinators, you know? The mods actually deleted my post about it and gave me a warning about "staying on topic." It's crazy how something so simple can get you shut down like that.

inThat "Hire Slow, Fire Fast" advice cost me a big client last quarter
Flip it around - maybe fast hiring would have helped you cut bait before that client got burned.

inPSA: Stop calling the dimension lines 'the numbers' when you're marking up a print
Oh man, I feel your pain on that. "Check the numbers" is one of those phrases that drives me nuts because it could mean literally anything on a print. I had a guy once who said that and I spent twenty minutes double checking the tolerance block before I realized he meant the hole callout positions. Like, just say what you mean, dude lol. It's wild how much time gets wasted guessing what someone's shorthand actually refers to.
