Hi Connie,

I think the word is triskaidekaphilic. And you may be a triskaidekaphiliac.

Whatâs the opposite of being *triskaidekaphobic?* (Before admonishing me to look it up, Thesaurus.com doesnât show any antonymsâ or synonyms for that
matter.) Anyway, whatever it might be, Iâm that. My birthday falls on the 13th (not today though), so I tend to think of Friday the 13th as something to be embraced rather than feared. Heck, I turned 40 on Friday the 13th in Y2K, and we didnât have anything remotely resembling the Apocalypse, so itâs all good.



If you are a bit phobic about Friday the 13th, then perhaps you need to stay indoors today to catch up on all the really fascinating debate (like tech comm as craft or commodity) and read about whatâs happening in tech comm, content strategy and customer experience management here on TechWhirl. Or be like me, stay in for a little while to catch up, then go forth and be *triskaidekafanatical*. Hah! There you go, a new word to throw around. Hash tag that quick!



Have a great weekend!
