You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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'm just going to stay home and not watch or read any news. We live far enough out that there will be zero impact on traffic.

Hope everything went smoothly yesterday, msbelle, and that you were able to have some birthday goodness.

And, Laura, when you can screen again, I hope your eye surgery went well!

Biopsy was uneventful. Felt fine yesterday. Today I felt some soreness while driving (I steer it seems mostly with my left arm).

Thanks.

Punishingly Intricate

Huzzah for uneventful!

At my current job, and my last one, we really have to stack meetings in the middle of the day because we have people on both coasts.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I fucking hate people who schedule 12:00 meetings.

It me! There’s just no way around it with all the calendars and time zones.

But if I recall you’re mostly dealing with local folks, yeah? F them

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I end up in noon meetings either because of time zones or because the rest of the day is already scheduled once everyone who is supposed to meet is taken into account. They are terrible, regardless of why they happen. And worse when bracketed by 11 am and 1 pm meetings

Do you think it would be ironic for me to watch the season premier of Severance while I’m supposed to be working? There’s probably a better descriptor.

Yesterday felt quite woodsy to me. I chopped a fallen limb into smaller pieces suitable for burning, and then last night my patio lights were tripped by an opossum wandering through.

Yup, you're getting back to the land. Or something.

My boss just scheduled a noon Zoom call. Not where I want posting makes it happen to apply!

Our wings are not tired

With the amount of international meetings I have to do at times I'm just happy when we can make them somewhat close to normal business hours here.
