I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

OH MY GOD someone is proposing smaller working groups, which is what I've been saying SINCE I STARTED THIS JOB because we are scattered across the world and 7AM is literally the only time we can all meet and having everyone involved in every piece of everything is NOT FEASIBLE.

Sounds like you needed a pre-planning meeting and a pre-meeting for the pre-planning meeting to be ready for the planning meeting.

Oh, Jesus, now my coworker is backing up our manager and saying we need to stop worrying about who's happy. That's definitely going to be useful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But how do we know what parts of the plan to plan if we don't have a plan?

That is super familiar.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

saying nothing she ever does is good enough.

That seems plausible.

To be fair "But how do we know what parts of the plan to plan if we don't have a plan?" is pretty much how I end up reading magazines all day instead of housecleaning and so forth.

Good one.

Good lord. Dana's meetings sound bad enough content-wise. Having them at 7am seems like adding insomnia to injury.

A different coworker just called so she could brainstorm ideas for getting us making actual progress.

God, Dana.

So y'all can hold off your surgery-ma for a few hours. My dad's procedure isn't until 5:30, my time.
