What I'm not saying out loud in 2021 (IWLTS)

[indigo]

A shiny new thread!

[Ruby]

Well you need to call it IWLTS so I can search effectively.

[Lily]

IWLTS: FFS this hen do is not until 2022. There are approx 35 invitees; do we really have to have a Whatsapp group started today?

[smalex]

The pandemic hasn't killed off OTT hen do's then? Shame.

[sally maclennane]

I'd be muting that, pronto

[Lily]

I did instantly but I still get the notifications, and get excited thinking I've had some messages, and then it just turns out to be more hen

[Kenickie]

Muting should mean you don't get any notifications.

[Lily]

I have a little "Chats - 1!" thing showing. Maybe archiving it will do it?

[Turtle Bean]

Maybe just firmly leaving the damn thing.

[Little My]

Well, quite.

[Lily]

Oh that I could, but it'll look so rude and the bride's sister & some of her friends are a bit funny with me anyway. Hopefully it'll die down in the next few days.

[Starry]

2022?! Nah.

[Lily]

I suggested we move it to email but I was told "No, we'll keep it simple for now."

IWLTS You are lucky I am still in the throes of "trying to be a nice person" right now, bitch, or I would have been exceptionally rude to you. (I was cycling, trying to get past a well-heeled couple walking side by side, ringing my bell - the bloke eventually heard, but the woman didn't and exclaimed "Jesus Christ" as I swerved around her, giving me a look like I'd just thrown dog shit at her. I called out, "Sorry, I was ringing my bell, please don't swear" but I felt like making a tyre mark all over her face.)

IWLTS: I told you in December I had work already booked in for the first part of January, so it would be in late Jan. I've been back from Christmas for 1 day. Why would the drawings be ready? I couldn't give a shit if you've got builders waiting for them.

[lazzbo]

People are idiots, smal. I told a client I was off between 23 Dec and 4 Jan. I received an email on 27 Dec asking if I'd done the translation for her. LEMME THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE.

[sally maclennane]

Do you think I don't know what you're up to with your faux concern? Asking how things will get done because of "all the special leave" is clearly a dig. You've not been asked to do anything extra but I might just let you sweat it out a bit longer now before I confirm that

[Luna]

IWLTS: ffs woman, get out of your pyjamas and dressing gown and put some bloody clothes on.

Woman opposite the clinic comes out for a fag on her doorstep and crosses the road to the shop next door in her nightwear every single day. Urgh.

[Luce]

Maybe she works nights?

[Smunder Woman]

IWLTS (and will say) yaaaaaaaasssssssss!!!

There's a bit of my PhD I couldn't work out, and I'm fairly certain I just have Tentative celebration until my supervisor confirms it

[bramblerose]

Maybe she works nights?

No excuse for going to the shop in your dressing gown though!
