inUnpopular opinion: my boss calling my emails 'word salad' did more for me than any class
See, this is the kind of story that sounds nice but really just teaches people to write for skimmers instead of actual readers. Cutting everything to 100 words means you drop context, nuance, and the stuff that actually matters later when someone has to make a real decision, and plenty of bad ideas sound way better when you strip them down to a snappy one liner. Your project lead read your notes because they were short, not because they were good, and that is a real difference.

inCustomer in Omaha asked me to sweep her chimney while her parrot watched and I still think about it
That parrot story is wild and I can totally see how it messed with your head. My cousin does HVAC in Kansas City and got called to a house where the owner had this ancient cockatoo that screamed "GET OUT" every time the furnace kicked on. The owner just laughed and said it learned it from her late husband who hated the cold (which is kind of funny but also super creepy when you're alone in a basement). The worst part was the bird would only do it when the owner left the room, so my cousin looked insane trying to explain why he ran upstairs. Pets pick up the strangest stuff from people and then just repeat it at the worst possible time with zero context. At least your parrot had manners, even if the timing was terrible.
