Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Gris.

Oh, flea, I'm so excited to see your puppy pictures. Newfie puppies are adorable, but I hope you won't need a bib for the drooling.

Anyone noticed that their "dealing with other people" muscles are atrophied? I've been spending a lot more time in meetings the last week or so (bcz of the new position) and it's bizarrely exhausting compared to just sitting and working all day. Also I think telecons are just harder than in-person meetings because of the cross-talk and so forth: you have to concentrate a lot more or you lose track.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm in video meetings all day and it's freaking exhausting. Way moreso than in-person meetings. I only do phone calls one-on-one anymore, so I kind of forget what conference calls were like.

I'm sorry, Gris.

All kinds of meetings are exhausting to me. I think I'm more nervous in the face-to-face ones than the zoom or phone type.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Gris, I'm sorry.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Welp, we're back in lockdown here. Hopefully just for the five days. We've had a small outbreak of the UK variant escape quarantine, currently 13 people diagnosed. I imagine local restaurants are going to be very unhappy to miss the Valentine's Day crowd, not to mention Chinese New Year. (We had to cancel a D&D session too, which was a shame.)

Our wings are not tired.

Anyone noticed that their "dealing with other people" muscles are atrophied?

So much.

I'm sorry, billytea, and at the same time I really wish my officials would take it so seriously.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’ve seen a hawk outside my window for two days in a row! Maybe he’s a long-term resident.

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

Pictures or it didn't happen.
