Next, but this weekend we caravan to pick up our dresses.
Oy. Godspeed.
My husband concurs that I should go home.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know how some people can make anything look like a chore? I just watched a co-worker take a sip of her drink like it was the hardest thing in the world to do, but she was oh so very brave to try. If only that applied to burping, farting, spraying food and long personal phone calls. It'd at least be a start.

So I am working on three differnt clients today all on projects that are time sensitive and need to be completed. People keep congregating and chattering around my desk. Thank dog my boss keeps pulling me away before I snap at them, then someone else shoos them away before I get back.

Your coworker sounds like a toddler, ita. Although now that I think about it, Franny's phone conversations aren't particularly long. They mostly consist of "hello. hell-oh. hello. hi! hi! hello."

Toddlerhood is a good approximation.

No! I have two! I am beset upon multiple sides. At least toddler's conversations are in a language I can't understand (they might all be "hello-hi!-hello!-hihihi" for all I know).

Silence means security silence means approval
Someone needs to teach a Snopes class for seniors.
Yes, I just had to Snopes smack my mother.
Again.
I Snopes smacked my grandmother for months with no results. Then, one day, my cousin starts sending out Snopes-worthy stuff (I think the old "P&G is run by Satanists" UL), and there's an e-mail back to her from my grandmother: "This is not true. Here is the link to snopes.com; you should look here before you send anything like this out."
So, keep hammering. Eventually, it'll get in their skulls.

poor ita, distracted by annoyances. The least they could do is send you someone pretty to distract you instead.
