re: Gossip

It's mom's surgery day, and I'm gonna try very hard to be less of a basket case about it than I was the first time around. Stress ate like crazy all day yesterday, may or may not let it continue through today. Was also really jumpy around the empty house last night.

Cold morning. All the celebrations about how it's almost fall just fill me with a looming sense of dread. Was decidedly less productive last night, but I still watched an episode of the Surf Dracula Perry Mason and some cartoons and listened to some music and started watching Dynamite, but didn't get very far. Was super tired for some reason! Maybe all the stress? Skipped the treadmill because I was also a little bit sore and I figured I should save myself for community run today (gonna try to stick to a consistent M/W/F schedule for them), and then I dreamed about wrestling and now I'm back at work, desperately wanting a burrito at eight thirty in the morning.

10. How Much Do You Gossip?

Very little! At least about real things? It's something I have to actively avoid in the workplace. Whenever shit goes down, everyone tries to pump me for information but I take pains to ensure that I genuinely have none! Sometimes it makes it difficult to react to people, because they'll assume I already know all of the hot goss, and if I let on that I don't, I know that will prompt them to share it with me, so I have to pretend that I know exactly what they're talking about already, and sometimes I can piece stuff together that way? But it's not optimal! I don't care, leave me out of it! I have worked here longer than all of you for a reason!
