Not internet related, people on the internet definitely conspire to annoy me. Volunteers, man. People on the phone. People wanting to buy really cheap tat. I have to finish these object labels! I kind of need to fill in another shelf of objects! I have to have a talk ready for next Thursday!! Without even a costume to wear for confidence. I'm crippled with worry that Sue's going to walk into the exhibit and be like, "Yeah, none of this is going to work"! STOP TALKING TO ME
I've joined a game of Diplomacy with people from AskHistorians and it's terrifying. I have barely any idea of how to play and there's an improv-like element that I'm not totally comfortable with. I already worry that everyone else there thinks I'm a creampuff and now it's going to be confirmed, because I'm so bad at complex games. I have won Settlers literally one time. France told me that Turkey wanted to invade me and then when I turned down Turkey's invitation to join with him and Russia to invade Austria, Turkey said France wanted to invade me! I feel more sure that Turkey is lying but this is hard, guys. For my first orders I just kind of shuffled my units around because I have no idea of what's a good strategy.

R- Reason to smile: remembering a funny scene from book, movie, or real life while walking to work on a sunny morning
