Bold of you to assume she can't.

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

We do not pretend to have No Meeting Fridays anymore, but I’ve only got the one tomorrow. And maybe a call with Sales. Or 2. But those aren’t, y’know, on my calendar, taunting me.

Dammit, a 10:30am meeting for tomorrow just hit my inbox, and I can't Bat out of it. I'm not so evil that I'll abandon my boss to deal with the release notes review on his own.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We got a message from the higher ups that we should try to avoid having meetings next Weds., rescheduling existing ones if needed. I think they figure everyone would be watching the news in another window anyway, so they might as well just roll with it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I mean, if we go by the coup > impeachment > ??????? timeline, Wednesdays are honestly a little cursed. I wouldn't want to be making any major business decisions.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I now need to figure out how to get out of a meeting by yelling "Bat!" and disappearing.

I scheduled the day off. Between that and it being the 10th anniversary of Mom's death, I know my attention for work will be minimal.

AAAAAUGH A SECOND MEETING FOR TOMORROW NOOOOO.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh. I guess calling into the meeting, screeching "NO-MEETING FRIDAY", and logging off would be unprofessional, wouldn't it?

The problem is that it's just No-Meeting Friday in my unit, and most of the meetings are with other units. And one I scheduled myself. But one is really egregious!

AAAAAUGH A SECOND MEETING FOR TOMORROW NOOOOO.

Nooooooo!!

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Or yell "smoke bomb!" and run away. (Actual smoke bomb optional, as seen here: [link] )
