I have a coworker that will start a conversation with me, silently change their mind and then make the conversation gradually more confusing as we go.
Unrelated, Iโve often wondered how easy it would be to create some sort of โlaunch person into the sunโ device.

Oof. Much shorter - down to a 1.5 minutes. I need to work on that in normal conversations. :|

Sometimes I send out so many parallel messages in teams that all I see in the chats pane is a bunch of โฆโs typing their replies and it feels like Iโve accomplished something. Even if all Iโve done is make people viscerally angry at me.

I have discovered, due to window and desk placement, that one of my arms is now tanned darker than the other. So now I need to institute some sort of rotation policy, like Iโm a rotisserie chicken.

Is it the right time to hash out relationship concerns when you're melded with a symbiote? I guess there are some questions that even science can't answer.

I had a person say that they felt that I'd barely told them anything about myself after a long conversation.
If they knew me well, they'd know I'd never do that.
