I have to be on a Zoom call this afternoon for work. With strangers!!!! AAARRRRGH!
Guess I have to change out of my work from home clothes and brush my hair...sheesh, the things you have to do these days.

I agree. I don't drive, so I don't have to put up with it.

So the Zoom meeting I dreaded for half the day is actually tomorrow...though I went back to the email I got last week and verified that it said it was today. Oh well, I watched a few hours of training videos for the new software while I waited for the meeting that didn't happen.

So if you dread something happening today and it doesn' t happen till tomorrow - is your dread real?
Assuming it is - does that mean you don' t need to dread it tomorrow?
Because if you do - then you dreaded it twice as much - and that just seems mathamatically impossible.
I am better prepared thanks to the videos I watched. I still dread it but it does mean more hours on my next check, so I suppose I'll survive it.

Foxaire? Haven't seen him around for awhile.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Don't know - he ghosts us every now and then. Is he not on AD?

Not in longer than his absence here.

I'm going to start referring to a single piece of macaroni as 'a macaronus' to see if anyone notices.
