   @judell @jgordon We pay people to haul shit for us (literally, in some cases, metaphorical in others). Now corporate profit-taking during the dot com boom and then during and after a disabling pandemic has downsized the employee headcount so far that we have to haul our own shit. And it's wearying.

     @jgordon The best part of working for InfoWorld was IDG Travel. I don't think IQ is what enables us to slog through the nighmares of self-service. It's grit. And mine is wearing thin.
