It's catch-up day at work. Like weeding the garden. Getting rid of those little, irritant tasks. So I'm listening to Joni Mitchell's 'Court and Spark' on my new AirPods and these lines get me every time.

I wish I had more sense of humor
Keeping the sadness at bay
Throwing the lightness on these things
Laughing it all away

One of my proudest non-work accomplishments at work.
Yeah, the caller was my co-worker’s wife. I don’t think she likes me.

It’s a Monday for me. Let’s see how it goes; last Monday I blurted out under my breath, “Fuck if I know!”, during a Teams meeting then thanked the Fates that I was still muted.

Just got sent the most beautiful bunch of lovely flowers as a thank you for a workstream I've been involved with this year and it has honestly cheered me right up and leaves me smiling every time I walk past them on the bench 😊🥰 idk what it is about flowers and bouquets but they really are gloriously delightful!!

Have had a work thing the past two days, which has been fantastic EXCEPT for the dude who:

➡️ made disparaging remarks about his wife in some lame attempt to be funny

➡️ put down a female team member for "going on" about a topic she was interested in

➡️ made an off-colour remark to me only to be shocked when I responded in kind and took it to the next level.

Turns out, we all thought he was kind of a dick and thought the less of him for his behavior.
