I have 1/1s with all 3 of my direct reports Friday which I don't usually since I'm both going on vacation next week and I'm moving into a new role and they won't be reporting to me soon. And we're telling the team Friday so I wanted to make sure to check in with them right away.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh! And I just realized I could cancel a meeting because we actually had the discussion today!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I had an 8:00 am meeting and a meeting that lasted UNTIL 8:00 pm in one day last week. This amount of work is seriously going to become undoable if I can't stop having meetings. I know some jobs are really mostly about having meetings, but I can neither build courses nor answer people's questions with these endless meetings! And for some reason it is harder to hang back and just do work on a zoom meeting than in an in person, which is weird. I think it is the lack of two monitors, so I have to minimize zoom to work during a meeting.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray canceled meeting!
Hope your quarantine is simple and easy, aurelia
Wow, Cashmere, that is a lot of disruption to the schedule, for sure. Hope everyone is ok!
{{{Amy}}} I'm so sorry. Constant rage-crying really takes it out of you. That should not be your lot.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Fred Pete!
I'm sorry about your friend, Sophia.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have very few meetings, like only one standing one each week and we are not on video, so it's not even seeing people - and STILL when I am tasked with setting up a call to deal with something I opt to try and get it resolved/dealt with via emails.

I love dealing with things via email or chat. If nothing else, you have a record to refer back to.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was just complaining about my "this could have been an email" meeting this morning.

I love dealing with things via email or chat. If nothing else, you have a record to refer back to.
And you get the unparalleled satisfaction of being able to get all "per my last email..."

Ugh. Promised some friends with new babies I'd bring by cookies. I planned to give them some frozen dough and a few freshly baked. And instead my cookies spread out completely all over the pan, melted way too quick. Can't even cut them up and pretend they're bar cookies, they're awful. Now I'm making another pan and hoping it was just that they were too warm or my oven was too warm and not that I messed up the (double) recipe somehow!
