#isitjustme — Public Fediverse posts

A lot of this time has been dedicated to "hurrying up and waiting," and so I have had some time to sit here and think.

And I came up with silly personalized nerd names for all my email box, task, calendar, etc. labels!! 😻

I will only share a few, out of respect for your time:

☸️ Ellimenory
  💠 This is the name for the category label that holds all of my various email boxes in one place 
  💠 Etymology: Elli- (me!) + limen (Gk. λιμήν, "harbor," "port") + -ory (Lat. -orium, "place for")

☸️ Ellisallagment
  💠 Meaning: These are financial tasks, obligations, dates, or communications. Anything related with financial or money matters.
  💠 Etymology: Elli- (me!) + allagē (Gk. ἀλλαγή, "exchange," "barter") + -ment (Lat. -mentum, "result," "act of") 

☸️ Ellisbibliphiloca
  💠 Meaning: The category label for the list of books I own that were authored and/or published by personal friends.
  💠 Etymology: Ellis- (me!) + biblíon (Gk. βιβλίον, "book") + philía (Gk. φιλία, "friendship") + -ca (Gk. thēkē, "receptacle") 

☸️ Ellisbiblisaureca
  💠 Meaning: My "treasure" archive of books to read and of things to do and to explore. Someone found it interesting that I choose to treasure the unknown rather than attaching this word to books I'd already read and known that I liked. I just said, "Why would I hold onto a future responsibility I didn't treasure enough to make the burden worth it?"
  💠 Etymology: Ellis- (me!) + biblíon (Gk. βιβλίον, "book") + thēsauros (Gk. θησαυρός, "treasure," "storehouse") + -ca (Gk. thēkē, "receptacle")

☸️ Ellistheronomy
  💠 Meaning: All tasks and calendar events and communications directly related to my personal physical and mental health.
  💠 Etymology: Elli- (me!) + therapeía (Gk. θεραπεία, "healing," "care," "service") + -nomy (Gk. νομία, "system of laws," "management")

☸️ Ellithekium
  💠 Meaning: My savings account. 😺
  💠 Etymology: Elli- (me!) + thek (Gk. , "case," "box," "chest," "receptacle") + -ium (Lat. -ium, "a place for")

☸️ Ellymiktry
  💠 Meaning: The box that holds "All the Other Things™."
  💠 Etymology: Elli- (me!) + mikta (Gk. μικτά, "mixed things," from sýmmikta) + -ry (Eng. "place of," "practice of")

That's not even a quarter of them all. Dear gods, please tell me it isn't just me? 😅💙♾️

Since a few months (years?), some mail clients allow users to react to emails: this is what it looks like in my mailbox when someone likes an email...

Bisher war ich nicht begeistert, dass #MirandaHart in ihrem #Buch #IsItJustMe? so viel mit einer jüngerer Version von sich diskutiert*, aber hier haben beide definitiv einen Punkt 📖

*Ich finde es sogar sehr nervig 🤫

The fact mainstream #media almost exclusively reports on the #UHC murder investigation but little on the public being pleased is such a HUGE failing. I’ve seen maybe one article on the matter. Seriously, our #healthcare is so broken that the public applauds a CEO’s death and the media is so lacking that they’d produce more #nothingburger articles on minor updates than dig deeper into the reaction.

Yes, LinkedIn is seriously borked. It's not just you. I have -1 connections now, and trying to imagine what life is like for that user who now lies in the imaginary plane. #linkedin #borked #isitjustme
