Our wings are not tired.

I haven't seen Endgame or yesterday's GoT.

Same here, but spoilage doesn't bother me.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. Teenage testosterone is most unpleasant at times.

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

Oh, msbelle, I am so sorry

I really don't want to be spoiled but I can't really begrudge my coworkers wanting to have conversations - I'd want to also if I was caught up! I wish I could remember where I put my headphones, really.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Whenever Marvel movies come out, I miss working with chatty!co-worker, because we would dissect them all day long. But I did have an hour-long conversation with my brother last night about Endgame, and that was pretty fucking great, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All of my team members were yelling GoT details through the hallways this morning. OK, not yelling, but discussing at full volume as they walked past people in cubes. I hope no one cared about the spoilers!

Because books.

I'm so sorry, msbelle.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yikes, msbelle. Now that he's 18, can you sit him down and get him to list out what he thinks is appropriate behavior for an adult member of a household? Not telling him, getting him to offer up suggestions, because it will get him out of his 'reactive' mindset and perhaps reconsider his behavior. He seems to be spiralling in panic over the end of school and his refuge seems to be giving up on all responsibility.

I'm so sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

I was up until 3 on steroids for this migraine! Whee! At least I'm not working, I guess!

Dang, I got a Venti iced coffee on my way into work this morning and the cup apparently holds more than my regular water bottle. So that's good to know.

I hope the steroids helped with the migraine, Dana

My coworkers are actually keeping their conversations fairly quiet - what's killing me more is that by the time I do catch up no one will want to talk about it anymore, they'll on be on to the next thing. Alas.

Yikes, Dana!!

I managed to get a bit of resume work done yesterday, but super don't feel like doing the many actual work things I need to do today. Perhaps my coffee will magically kick in soon?

I have not seen Endgame or Game of Thrones, but I don't watch either of them (marvel movies or throne games) so am ok with that.
