Yeah, everyone trying to fill airtime was just ridiculous. What more was there to say? They just had to keep repeating how upsetting it was.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Filling airtime was so bad. Thankfully they finally called it. It was hard to watch.
Fingers crossed for Damar Hamlin.
And RIP Ken Block. It's always sad when racing takes a great, younger driver. You lived and raced well. If there is an afterlife, race on.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yikes. I hadn’t heard anything about the game until just now. Best wishes to the injured player.

Filling airtime would be hard yikes.
I was all excited yesterday because I could sit around and do nothing and still have today to prep. Except I also did very little today (walk with a friend, and Yoga with Adrienne). Oops.
I tried to book a flight for my World Cup plans this summer, but it’s refusing to book it saying the seats don’t exist. Grr.
And I have 7am meetings tomorrow. And 8am,9am, and 10am. Whee?

Whee?
As ten year old Emmett would say, that is "undelightful."

I’m doing some communications strategy at this chemical company and one thing everyone I’ve interviewed there says is that they have Too Many Meetings so I’m doing a meeting audit and, looking at their calendars, they just don’t have that many meetings? So maybe they are just a bunch of complainers ? meara, on the other hand…that’s legit Too Many Meetings. (Your company should hire me.)

Our wings are not tired.
Today is a day of celebration as it was the day that shrift was born! Have a wonderful day filled with delight, and may the year to come be a magnificent one!

Lol I would support that Lisa! Thankfully I don’t usually have that many meetings (or that many in a row) and I’m hopeful that a couple of them will be brief or maybe even canceled. I hope. Because I know there’s a ton of emails awaiting me.

Happy Birthday, shrift!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm glad I only have one meeting today, because brain is just not functioning yet. As in, this year.
