Tonight was a night of chatting. If it wasn't KM from work, or Stephanie from Texas, it would be RQS keeping me chatting until after midnight. So I won't have too much to say right now.

The day at work dragged on, as I had a hard time staying awake. At least, I was able to get a full day's worth of work done - even with the trouble I was having staying alert. Since I planned to talk with KM after work, as well as Stephanie via Zoom, then chat with RQS, I knew I'd have no time to do any of the other important things I wanted to do tonight.
KM told me about the goings on at the office from her perspective. She's looking at the company from a youngster's point of view, someone who comes from a bluish collar background. She sees opportunity in its chaos. As for me, at an age where I should be considering retirement, I see something else - a company struggling to define its core business for future growth. Sadly, I had to cut her off, as I had to connect with Stephanie.
Stephanie and I had a more meaningful chat. She wishes that she could have met me much sooner in life, as we would have developed a closer friendship. Little does she know that she would have seen me in a very different light had she done so, as I had yet to come out as Marian at the time. Yet, I can see myself being like an older sister to her.
Once done with Stephanie, it was time to chat with RQS. As usual, we had a long chat where I did most of the talking. That seems to be OK with her, as she seems to enjoy hearing what I am saying. We'll see if this continues over time....
