What extrovert scheduled an intraoffice networking event the day of the holiday party?? I just did the networking for an hour, and now I'm exhausted! And yet I will take a quick break and rally for the party.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Networking AND party!?! I am not an extrovert, but even for an axtrovert that sounds like A LOT
Oh, mom of sj

Also, I have to laugh at myself - in a conversation in the kitchenette I said "it's probably been 15 years" only to realize on my way back to my desk it has actually been 22 years. Passage of time, y'all, why does this keep happening?

Ann, that's a ferret.
As a strong introvert, I might be able to manage networking and a party on the same day if the networking is low-key enough, like a (10- to 15-person) division lunch. Otherwise -- well, I don't do well in group schmoozes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I may not say something about decimate every time I hear it, but I think it. If it's on the TV, I may yell about it.

I am an extrovert and could do networking and party but...more so if they weren't both work?? Like work networking and a friends party or hobby party or something? Otherwise that's a lot of work stuff.

It turns out that I have to overnight the notarized Delegation of Authority to my nephew. So he should get it tomorrow and hopefully can get it turned around on Friday sometime.
Adulting is hard. I'm all out of adult.

mac's car is purchased. In true mac fashion he refused to go see his grandparents yesterday or today. They paid for half the car.

I don't say anything anymore, but I FREQUENTLY give myself little lectures on exactly why it still bothers me. I have reasons. They don't need to be everyone's reasons, I am trying to accept that, but I have them.
I can see that meara. Work thing + friend thing would be easier than 2 work things for me, too, and I'm way introverted.
Yay, car. Oh, mac. SMH. Come on, kid. That ain't cool.
