I was quadruple-booked for meetings this afternoon.

I haven’t used other things than Teams—what’s better? What is awful?

I loathe Teams. Zoom is bad enough, but some people insist on using Teams - for chat, for meetings, etc. And all our phone calls are routed through Teams and, for some reason, the transfer feature keeps not working, so I'll be stuck with a call and I have to tell people to either call the person - and give them their direct line - or email them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have really gotten used to Teams, but it is definitely 3-5 different programs shoved into one box. And I can't imagine using it for calls.

I definitely prefer Webex to Teams (unfortunately, with the new owners, we have transitioned to Teams not away from it).

totally agree Tom and Toddson!

I hate Teams with the passion of a thousand burning suns!

we used to have an instant message but can't remember what it was. but it was everything Teams is not.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The new mattress is somewhat uncomfortable, and I didn't sleep that great last night. But I think I'll adjust. Or buy a memory foam mattress topper. We'll see.

And then the dryer decided to die tonight. I'm not enjoying that one bit. (I can't fault it, though, because it came with the house when Tim bought it 21 years ago, so it's at least that old, and probably older. Well done, good and faithful dryer.) I'm glad it didn't die while I was doing a load of towels this morning. That would have sucked.

Look at how I'm not flipping out about this shit! Although I reserve the right to flip out later.
