I mark, and nod sagely, whilst looking interested, yet concerned with the important matter at hand.

Happy Friday!
I was in a Teams call yesterday for my self employment job; everyone was chatting at the start so i switched off my camera and cleaned my fridge
I listened along but everyone was chatting about their travel experiences. I was pleased i'd managed something useful for that hour of my own time.
I was supposed to have a Teams meeting at 4pm today but my boss cancelled it so i logged off at 5, put my out of office on and am not back till 19 April LBM - October 2018; finally debt free on 16 March 2021

Enjoy - what are you planning?2 -
I’m usually the minute taker at meetings so unfortunately can’t switch off. At some stage someone will ask me to find a document and share my screen, give me an action point or ask me a question. Oh the joys of being a PA 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1
