I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

Whee?

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

Punishingly Intricate

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

We tried to have No Meetings Thursdays. It didn't last.

We're doing better with No Meetings Fridays.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My no-meeting Fridays usually wind up being only-one-or-two-meetings Fridays, which is still a vast improvement over the rest of the week. Our org-level monthly No Meeting Tuesday (today!) is a hilarious joke.

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

I have no meetings scheduled today, which is nice. Our key cards stopped working to open half the gates to the parking lots and most of the doors to the building, so that's fun.

I must say that when Kevin McCarthy is having a very bad day it improves my day.
