Which doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Remember, mommy's a scifi writer, so she cares little for it. Of course, she realizes (and is very aware) of the flow of chatter, which means that she keeps her own office talk limited to neutral topics. People think she's weird because she doesn't get involved in all of that stuff, or seem extremely concerned about it. Well, I can tell you that while she doesn't participate in it, she's very much aware - and we hear all about it!
I know who she's pretty sure is hiding a pregnancy. I know whose job hunting. I know whose up for that big corner office nearby, whose stepping up and retiring out, whose connections mean they know a guy, who knows a guy, whose going to potentially open (or close) doors to things and stuff. And I know who all watches Game of Thrones around there, too (surprisingly and disappointingly few on her floor!). I know whose lurking around wondering what the hell mommy's doing - with her writing and in general. Parrots make great confidants.
So don't be fooled. Mommy knows very well what's going on. She's just not telling you that. It's the better part of wisdom to be aware of your environment, and she's been working in an office long enough to know to keep the eyes and ears open and the mouth shut (at least until she's home in confidential company). But no worries, because she isn't out to get you. She's a writer, after all. They store and utilize that stuff differently. It's all munchies for her muse. And while I can talk quite well, I know when to keep my beak zipped. I can even make the zipper sound quite well!
That's all today. Take care. Have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a wonderful weekend.
Luv,
Bubbles
