What's annoying me today

Kipped for 11 hrs. Feel much better now.

Company "virtual social". 150 people across the country, around a third of whom are in three boardrooms in three different cities, the rest logged onto Google Meet. "Everybody go and pour themselves a drink and we'll get started with the Christmas movie quiz!"

Fuck the absolute fuck off. I'm not drinking on a Wednesday afternoon and I'm not doing a fucking quiz. It would be more enjoyable to just do my job.

That does sound absolutely wank.

I'd like that. I enjoy quizzes.

Well I’m drinking already. What’re the quiz questions?

A TB re-stream would have been great, next time please

Is Canada still in lockdown?

Was that the first quiz question? You’d think they’d know.

Sounds like the very epitome of forced fun. Is there not something super urgent that might happen to come up that day, which can only be sorted by you and, by sheer coincidence, at the same time as the 'virtual social'?

Remind me in 12 months.

No, it's just really fucking big and we're a nationwide company. I'm four hours away from my nearest major Anglophone office.

I just left it on at my desk with the camera and mic off, and went for a run.

Ah, misread. Thought it was coming up rather than today.

Canada has always been in lockdown. Pandemic or otherwise.

Quite how Russ managed to sneak in in the first place remains a mystery.

Wait, birds are woke now? Has anyone told the Daily Mail?
