Oh hai APW,
Have we talked about the fact that Mercury is retrograde right now? I think I forgot to mention it in last week’s Happy Hour (too busy shopping), but hoo boy, are we grumpy right now. PLANETS, MAN. I’m basically just counting down the days until June 11th. If you’re into astrology (which, I am, because magic) I’m also going through my Saturn return this year, and if you’ll excuse the pun, it’s throwing me way off my axis. Who am I? What do I want? WHAT IS LIFE? Ugh. It’s weird being grumpy/having an existential crisis at work when your office is your kitchen counter. On the upside, the solitude is really nice when you need to have a cry. But then sometimes I think about this recent article from Man Repeller and wonder if maybe I just need to get offline for a while and go talk to some actual humans to help put things in perspective.
And with that, it’s your happy hour! So get to it.
Cheers,
Maddie
