No more work for me until 2nd January! *falls asleep on face*

I have one half day left at work this year. I have one million things to do and 90 minutes of meetings tomorrow morning. I may cry. I'm so tired.

In the last week, I've had to explain what gaslighting means to two different senior men, if you're wondering how my run up to Christmas is going.

There's a train in rotation that absolutely refuses to say Dorking. So you get like, "Welcome aboard the Southern service to [silence], calling at Ashtead, Leatherhead and [silence]," and it's been doing it for weeks now. Poor Dorking.

19. I never had an AOL address, but I DID have an at btinternet one, which may be arguably worse.

—I’ve been asked to baptise the King of Spain’s daughter —Infanta? —No, holy water as usual. Weird thing to ask honestly

Good thoughts for my tiny Rosiecat today please, while she's at the v-e-ts for a cardiac ultrasound without having had ANY breakfast (cat crime). #pethealth

Happy birthday at my most best BFForever, @moogflorin.bsky.social 🥰😍❤️ We always go to the best places and have the best times and I love you.

Geography teacher, actually.

Lots of discourse around Heated Rivalry but I haven't seen the most important point, which is that pining while fucking is the greatest trope in the world

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

#exercise I went to my first (almost certainly only!) spin class last night and today I can neither walk NOR sit.

Okay, is The War Between The Land And The Sea queer or am I just assuming that because Russell Tovey?

What if I have two weeks left of work this year, and so much time-critical work that I truly, TRULY don't know where to start? (We have a Festive Day tomorrow, which is technically a no work day, but I absolutely do NOT have time for a whole day of no work.)

Titanique! The weirdest, gayest show ever, possibly. #Strictly

Look, I understand why they have to change some of the words to make it #Strictly friendly, but they are RUINING the Cell Block Tango.

I've been getting a lot more into poetry this year, purely and completely because it's a big part of SAS Rogue Heroes fandom, which has introduced me to loads that it turns out I like. Predictably, I now can't remember any.

Mum couldn't get to the cinema when the latest Downton Abbey movie came out, so we just watched it on Prime. Loved it! Much preferred it to the second one. I know not much happens, but I love a Downton where nothing much happens.

Why is FIFA awarding a peace prize? What have I missed?

The way in which I do NOT want to see 28 Years Later The Bone Temple is very, very high. But the way in which Jack O'Connell is incredibly compelling in the trailer is also very, very high. We call this the blorbo conundrum.

Today I discovered my dad has never had beans on toast and I am BAFFLED?

Had a GREAT time with Stranger Things 5.01, now working my nerve up again for 5.02. Caring about things really fucks with my ability to consume them, which is unhelpful.

Nikita, I pay my license fee just for you, babe #Strictly

"The first celeb to get two perfect scores this early." BECAUSE HE'S A FUCKING BILLY ELLIOT #Strictly

Presented at Board meeting! Peered at Black Friday sales on Oxford Street. Now have a banging headache all down one side of my face :(

At the Foreign Office for a Board meeting and it's SO fancy. I am not designed for this fancy.

So I thought the gay hockey thing was a movie on Netflix, but it turns out to be a TV show? On... idk something in America? What if I want to watch gay hockey men, The Universe?

I'm SO TIRED I feel like I've been kicked in the face, but the little cat does not want me to nap. Every time I try, I get a gentle but persistent little tap tap on my arm.

The LEVEL to which I'm not ready to wake up tomorrow to new Stranger Things content is very, very, very high.

"Come to our beginner’s guide to using Microsoft Copilot for recruitment webinar" or... not. Can I pick not, thank you?? #worktweet

My very important review of Wicked 2: Witches should kiss and Jonathan Bailey is too handsome for my sanity.

Got a PA job after uni, shared an office with the HR administrator. Everything she was doing looked so much more fun than my job, and she got to hear all the secrets. So when she retired, I slid neatly sideways into her role and have somehow kept getting promoted ever since.

Shout out to Penny, a real MVP, who let me drag her around Coventry and Leamington Spa in the pouring rain today. But we found THREE Bill Fraser of the SAS things: the road he lived with his mum and step dad, the road he lived later, and the garden of remembrance where his ashes were scattered.

On the one hand, this peppermint bark from M&S cost £12(!) but on the other, it's really fucking delicious.

As a colleague just said to me, "I just want ONE DAY!" #worktweet

Look I know we all know it's cold and that all everyone is saying currently is how cold it is, but omg it is SO COLD?

Attention friends! As a Cyber Sec Specialist, I feel a need to share this. If you receive an email from Ao3, alerting you to a password reset attempt, DO NOT click on the links! This is a scam to get you to provide your current password. Absolutely terrible. Safe cyber smart! #ao3 #scamalert

Just yelling, Nooooo, at the TV #Strictly

Amazing, no notes, I do not desire to learn anything else about this story, for it would only detract from the perfection on this headline.

Weekend with @moogflorin.bsky.social going so nice! I've been introduced to Interview with the Vampire and Katseye and Doom Patrol, and I've shown them Sinners.

Got a @mooging here for the weekend! Pumpkin has celebrated by taking a spinach leaf and shredding it all over the bed.

she’s a 10 but Excel thinks she’s October

Just walked past a police woman carrying a) a Waitrose wrap and b) a very large knife in a plastic evidence collection tube.

Cenotaph BBC man: the Duke of Kent retired a Lieutenant Colonel. Me, in my flat: LIKE PADDY MAYNE!

Absolutely fucking love Vicky #Strictly

"All right, class, who knows what Watson and Crick discovered?" "Rosalind Franklin's notes." "That's correct."

I went to check mine and it had also decided I was born in 2007, so all adult content was disabled??

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

IMPORTANT BISEXUAL NEWS.

Today is so MONDAY and so GREY and so NOVEMBER and I feel so very much like a person about to get their period, even though I can't be because it's not due for 11 more days.
