Being back “at” work after a week off is reminding me how much I’d rather just be furry trash. It takes some actual cognitive effort to switch back to system emoji from ^..^ and -..- and @..@ and similar snout-shaped typing!

also I wanna hug fuzzy and/or scaly people, but that’s nothing new.

@kistaro I mean, who says you can't use dragon emotes at work regardless~? What boring co-workers they'd be to judge people on their emote style...

... on the subject of emotes, I still use wolf-type ones despite my current configuration. Hm.

@Taylor Your pooltoy dragon snout is still kind of wolf-snout-shaped, so your emote choices don’t seem odd to me!

I work with boring people. The specific office I am theoretically assigned to (not that anybody is going there at the moment) is easily the most uptight and “emotionally beige” office at my company in the Americas, and the overseas ones I’m considering as candidates for being more uptight are largely less uptight but in LGBTQ+-phobic nations, which harms office culture.
