Cool! I’m being INVITED to PARTICIPATE in my yearly staff performance evaluation. Even better? Step 1 = Self Eval.
Thnx, Capitalist Overlords! Can’t wait to do be part of another ritualized masturbatory justification of my value vis a vis meaningless metrics!
Me: "Hey, deviantart, do you have like a quick lineart pack for this mech sketch I'm worki-"

Fun fact, Cabin Fever and Seasonal Affect Disorder totally stack! Hell, there is even a sort of force multiplier thing going on here!

I can neither confirm nor deny that, due to a heater malfunction in my workshop, I am currently using my RV as a tiny office.
I also cannot comment on how much I enjoy this nor how I might be concocting plans to work from, say, an RV park on the beach this summer.
@cmeik will appreciate that I am now casually referring to this workspace as either "the Rio Grande" or, simply, "the runabout"
