normally my official start time is 8:30 but I typically start my day by triaging my inbox & reading the news while eating breakfast. But today I had to get going from the start with some high-priority stuff, and just...my brain has not kicked into gear yet >.<

I know this feeling.

ugh, and multiple ppl wanting to converse with me on Teams

omg what is with all these urgent requests??

okay, the rush is slowing down, I've got iced green tea, soothing music, and some breathing room, thank goodness
