Hello Colleagues & Coworkers:
Pinned #1: No hello!
I follow “https://nohello.net/” philosophy. Feel free to say an unsolicited, unsubstantiated, “Hello” with no other content via e-mail. But don’t do that via IM, please. Message me your statement/question, and I’ll get back to you a few seconds or hours later, depending on the day/time/business/etc. Again, not everyone likes to IM like this, but I agree with the philosophy outlined on that site!
Pinned #2: Presidential Campaign
Yes, I’m serious about our country and my campaign for the Presidency — johnfial.com/campaign/ should redirect to www.fialforward.com within 1-10 days. See the past emails I’ve sent out for my intitmate thoughts; I encourage you to signup to the list.
No, I don’t intend to be a third-party or Independent spoiler; I intend/hope/want to challenge Biden directly in the party.
Eventually I’ll have to transition out of our company, of course, one sad reality about a real campaign. I really like our employer, for all its flaws of size and bureaucracy, and I have a fantastic team and manager I’ll really miss. But I’ve thought about this since Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, and I can’t shirk my duty — at least, what I believe is my duty — to work to unite our country, preventing the self-destruction we’ve seen all our lives.
Please be mindful and respectful of our employer’s Limited Personal Use Policy. Do what you want with this site and links; feel free to donate/share/hate-mail me/whatever, but please do so on your own device and with your own personal time.
Thanks for reading! Love and light,
