Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery

Why is morning? It's one of those days when I want to proceed directly back to bed. Waking up is for the birds.

On the plus side, I got a lot done yesterday. Not so much at work, where my minions were working slow as dirt. There, we got jack and shit done. I didn't even bother pulling the 4pm run, because there was no way we were getting what we already had done. I'm sure I'll hear about it today, but I honestly don't give a shit.

But after work, I got 4 out of the 7 things I needed to get done for upcoming games and CONfab. Wel, maybe 3/12. I worked on the panel a bit, but it's not done. I need to decide whether I want to do a powerpoint or not. On one hand, no, I really don't think it needs one, strictly speaking. On the other hand, I'm good at making them and it might help me to keep my focus during the panel.

I also did something not on the list that I'm very happy about. My players in Curse of Strahd have been invited to dinner with Strahd. This is a big leadup thing in the module. They're all about how this can be game changing and that players alliances can change, etc. But the actual module has exactly one paragraph about it. So, I wanted to prep a bit. I don't think they're going to reach there on Friday. They're determined to go do a difference side quest first, but I like to be prepared.

So, at work, a few teams who were seriously behind on their work were brought into the office full time. My friend K is on one of those teams. She hated the job before then, because she feels like she's the only person on her team who works. Now, she's just a fucking ball of sunshine. They brought their queues down, but because of the Pending Returns Queue, which is worked by my manager's team in Staten Island, they're still in there and she's just become unpleasant to talk to. She is bitter that my team wasn't dragged in, even though we're up to date. And she's seriously pissed off at the Staten Island team, and by association my manager. And since I frequently work Pending, it's kind of spilling over onto me. It's to the point that I hesitate to send her a good morning over Teams. I don't think there's an answer to dealing with her, unless I want to cut her off, and I'm not quite ready to do that. Besides, I fully expect that I'm going to end up going in the office again full time. It's part of the reason that I'm job hunting. If I'm going to have to come in anyway, I want more money.

Okay, I'm going to go forth and get myself ready for work. Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!
