Golnaz submitted a plan for Cold Iron in her sister's heart

I think I found middle ground

ha

Oh, Golnaz plays dirty

Zara has been kind so far. Live and let live!

Yes. 🙂

And I need to get something going for that ship journey

So many storylines....

I know. Gonna break me.

But I'll enjoy it

hehehehe

boop

Ah well. Gamus delayus

Perfect storm of not-happening.

yes

I am sort of stressed about tomorrow

yes, I know, I do it all the time

but first day is stressful

The good news is you've been stressed before?

So you can handle it?

(Reaching but hey)

This is the new semester? Yeah...first-day jitters...doesn't matter how long you've taught, stage-fright is real.

I'd tell you open with a joke, but well, we've seen my jokes 😉

puntastic, yes

new semester, pre-tenure review starts, have a show I'm behind on

need to get answers from director

Your jokes are spectacular, but might work best on a friendly audience.

Erk.

Just heard from a co-worker that the dean said she might not be renewing his contract

he's a year behind me

we didn't get approval for the TT position for the scenic/lighting designer

so, like, why I am doing this pre-tenure thing - am I even going to have a job in two years?

so

um

stressed

understandable. Look, I have social anxiety issues and a dislike of crowds. SO.. You're braver than I am to be sure

That is a pretty tense situation. You can get through it, though. Keep breathing.

I am so stressed I am finding it very hard to focus and function, tbh

probably why I made dresses

I also stress-sewed when my dad died

Sounds a lot healthier than stress eating.

Well, if your job is in danger whether you do a good job or not, doesn't that oddly take some of the pressure off?

Amen.

...true

shady! We thought you got keyboard face

And she flies in, bestowin' da wisdom!

I do!

Have keyboardface, that is.
