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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

You've grown as a non-flippy person!
I'm still getting used to having my own washer and dryer. May your new dryer be awesome and affordable!
Took my niece to the airport today after a five day stay. She spent three years being my sister's primary caretaker during chemo and doctor appointments etc. as a full time nurse managing two clinics and a single mother of two.
She really needed a break and she soaked it all up. She was completely happy to get a coffee and sit in the Panhandle of GG Park and watch folks walk their dogs and people riding their combo/parenting bikes taking their kids to preschool.
Took her to Alembic last night and Emmett met us there and they just naturally vibed with each other. Lots of laughs and smiles.
