I have zero context how or why this lovely, delicate animation was approved by leadership. But I'm 98% certain it wasn't pitched with business impact jargon.

ALT A screenshot of a text message thread with my exhausted boss. It reads: Boss: Before you log off, we need to tweet a reminder about Labor Day Fire Safety. Me: Prevent these flames or we'll call you names. Boss: Not this again. Me: Watch your pile or we'll get hostile. Me: Illegally start a fire? Your situation'll get dire! Boss: Can you please just make a cute graphic or something? Me: On it.
