One side-effect I've noticed of Return To Office is that I'm finding it almost impossible to motivate myself to do any work on days when I'm home, other than attending meetings. I'm sure there are work things I could be doing right now in fact! But I'm not!
In bittersweet (mostly bitter) "I told you so" news, my old job at Comixology (which was permanently eliminated back in January) is now a new open role because apparently TPTB have realized that their original plan of "lay everyone off and then we'll get everything done in less time" was, in fact, incredibly stupid. I'm only sorry nobody reached out internally to offer it to me, because I would have LOVED the opportunity to respond with "are you fucking high."
Thanks for birthday wishes! It's the big 5-0. Which, for me, is both thought provoking and minute on the scale of things.
Thinking about Hec and Matilda daily. Also, why do teenage boys suck so hard? Emotional maturity of a blueberry scone is too much credit for that cretin.
Also, as someone who has been randomly Spovato-called by smonster, I highly recommend picking that call up if you get it.
I have bathroom remodeling envy, Jessica and SusanW! I have so much stuff I want to do in the house but then it's like... oh yeah, money.

When my memories brought up pictures from the 4-0 I was all OMG that was 10 years ago. I hope you are doing something very special for the milestone.
You were there for my 40th and 45th!
Happy birthday, Nora! 50 is pretty exciting!

Same! It really only hit when we went from 2 days in the office to 3, but whereas I used to be pretty gung ho to demonstrate that I was if anything more productive when WFH these days I am much more apt to think that even the things that I kinda might want to work on can wait until I'm back at my desk. Procrastinating starting on updating a spreadsheet right now!
Happy milestone, Nora! 50 is certainly a very round number and feels significant. It's a single roman numeral, that's a big deal! I V X L C all big deals!
Happy birthday, Nora!!
I tell you what, the aftermath of a death is a whopping long list of Onerous Tasks.
Oh yeah. So many Onerous Tasks. So, so many.

Seriously, wtf.
PS: I still have not had proper nachos but I did have chips with queso and guac for lunch.
I was about to ask if Matilda wanted her scary goth auntie to do some (mild) hexing. Because I will do that for her.
Excuse me while I cackle with glee and anticipation, quietly.
Nora! I can’t count so I didn’t realize it was 50. Wild. And I’m glad you enjoyed that call. Buffistas tend to be high on the call list.
Ass ‘em in the ear, Jess.
No nachos here but I’m getting a blood draw done for work and there is an excellent cheesesteak place next to where I parked my car. But I think I’m going to go eat a sandwich at home, instead. The funds have run out for my Emotional Disaster Area and I have to make more responsible choices now.
