Wednesday’s back, so here come some GIFs describing how I feel in certain situations. (Also, if you’ve missed one in the past, you can always click here to see all the “This is me When-sday” posts!) So without further ado:

Y’all. It’s been, what, almost 3 years? Since so many folks are spending more time on computers pretending to be working these days, I thought I’d jump back into the scene for a minute, bringing you a (hopefully) well-earned distraction from your new normal. Sorry to say all of these gifs this week *will* be COVID-19-related (#asignofthetimes).
