I can live with a day of team-building now and then, mostly because it's a break from the routine. Although the closest my office gets to that sort of thing is going out to lunch together, which we do once a year for Administrative Assistant's Day and once a year for the holidays. Which means "team-building" translates into a nice lunch in a different setting with interesting conversation (especially if I can sit with the people I'm closest to).
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, I would do an escape room with you!
I feel like we would do well.

I went to drama school, so I eat all the team building stuff up. "I" statements all the way!

Yikes, Sue, that's a lot. Health~ma for your dad. Take care of yourself.
Leg~ma, Gud. I'm glad you're getting care. If you're not already on probiotics, you might want to start some. Take care of yourself as well.

Leg~ma, Gud. I'm glad you're getting care. If you're not already on probiotics, you might want to start some.
Definitely. IV antibiotics are pretty big guns, and while they'll wipe out the infection, they'll also indiscriminately wipe out your good gut flora, which sucks. Probiotics will help you avoid that.

I have called and made a dentist appointment, and I've scheduled a quick trim at the salon for this Friday. This is not a major amount of Adulting, but it feels like it with the work projects that I'm on this year.

Ooh! Tell us which company so we can drill you for cheat codes!

Hello, people. I'm now 33 and slightly drunk.
Pride is in Jerusalem tomorrow. I worry about this one. There are ugly tensions, thanks to bots, and at least three counter demonstrations will take place trying to disrupt the parade. With that, we are expecting bigger numbers than ever.
Sadly, police said "no. nope. no no no. never" to accessible vehicle in the parade's route, but we do have this year transcription services in a WhatsApp group and I actually have 90% of the speeches and songs right now in my email to help with that. That's a big progress.
Also, I should be sleeping.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Shir--or belated Happy Birthday, whichever's appropriate.
I hope Pride goes well.
