Hate being at work this week.
It's very rude of them to make you come in! Also, if you come in they should have donuts or pastries and get paid for faffing about.
I'm waiting for my friend to check in so we can go to breakfast.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Not crazy about WFH today, either , TBH. Going into the office tomorrow, probably, will find out if I hate that more...

DH's team just found out they have two use-it-or-lose-it holidays, so he's taking off tomorrow and Wednesday. Thurs. is off, of course. I doubt Friday will a banger workwise either, heh.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My company gives us a block of holiday time to use as we wish, rather than specific days off. This is kind of a pain when we don't automatically have Christmas off, but it is nice that I can work on July 4th and save that time for actual PTO.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm trying to use this time to complete my peer reviews, but I have a cold and my brain is not functioning. (Also, the company changed the way feedback works again this year, so there's no automatic "here's what you said last year" to crib from, which, I mean COME ON.)

What I really want is the option to leave a star rating but no review for the people I think are generally great but haven't worked with closely enough to write a paragraph about.
