workaday Tuesday
Aug. 3rd, 2021 05:58 am*I'm taking a few days off starting Thursday, so I just need to get through today and tomorrow.
*Today includes a 'crisis' meeting first thing in the morning, except that it was maybe a crisis last week when we first found out about it, but the meeting got pushed to today because one person was on vacation? So maybe it is not a crisis? Hard to say.
*Got a new Fitbit that measures my relaxation. Not shockingly, my overall stress score got significantly worse yesterday than it was over the weekend. Now I'm stressed that I'm a failure at relaxation.
*People at work are like, 'oh, are you doing anything fun on your days off?' And I'm like, 'you know, sleeping, crying, overthinking every aspect of my life, the usual.'
*Last week I attended (needlessly, it turned out) a meeting about my workplace's office reopening plan, which included a brief section about the building's alarm system, and one person expressed how challenging it was to hustle to the alarm panel to shut it off if someone accidentally armed it while people were still inside. I managed not to say, 'actually, it turns out you can alarm it at one door and then sprint around the building with the lights off and still make it back to your starting point within the 30 second window,' because luckily I remembered that we had probably not been supposed to do that, all those years ago. Ah, good memories!
