I'm not sure where the weekend went, but I'd like to request a do-over. I'm not ready for a Monday, especially not a Monday with a four hour meeting. Also, I am drinking my second to last cup of coffee before I run out. Thankfully more is on the way, but I'm a bit of a mess this morning #morecoffee
@JoyfullyDazed Thank you! 🌻 I hope you have a wonderful day!
@Foxthorn
With you, sister. I need a week-long weekend for puttering and relaxing. I have something I really need to drag across the finish line before I consider it.
@Helical_Code I keep telling myself...as soon as I finish X, I'm taking a week off. Unfortunately, Y comes along before I finish X and the goal posts move and the week off gets delayed.
@Foxthorn
I hear that. At the same time, I've got one really big X and the Ys are on a longer time table. Also, there are some projects at home that require attention in the near term.
Being an academic, I have some flexibility (and flexibility is one of the main reasons I don't go to industry and make twice as much green).
@Helical_Code I swear I always thought I'd go into academia. I thought this trip into consulting land would be temporary but temporary has lasted 9 years so far.
@Foxthorn
We make plans and the goddess laughs. At least we have coffee. ☕
@Foxthorn Good morning! Hope there’s plenty of coffee at that meeting. Who plans 4 hour meetings??? Hope there are breaks in there. Best wishes today!
@GrandmaJ LOL Upper management does. I'm convinced they have nothing else to do but have meetings all day every day. It was supposed to be in person but travel to Florida was cancelled due to covid so now it's virtual. It's a partial win. Still have a 4 hour meeting. Don't have to put on pants. Saving my last cup of coffee for after lunch. #NoPantsMonday
@Foxthorn Upper management must think they have to prove something with needless meetings. They would do better to just let their employees work, but noooo.
At least no pants. That’s a win. Enjoy your coffee. At least you don’t have to share it with anyone.
@Foxthorn
Good morning. I hope your day gets better as the minutes tick by.
