Me, waking up with a sense of needing to do something today: Hello?
My internal voice: Hello.
Me: Uh. What's happening today?
Voice: Pandemic.
Me: Yeah, right, Pandemic. That's not nearly specific enough. Do I have to get anything done? Are there deadlines? Should I be panicking? What's the metanarrative?
Voice: I don't know yet, I'm still waking up myself.
Me: ... You're helpful.
Voice: *shrugs*
Me:
Voice: It's a workday. You have some work related deadlines. Also looks like we have a series of in person things we have to do today, in the middle of Omicron flying around.
Me: Ah. Got it. Thank you for helping me calibrate my expectations.
