“Thank you for your patience”
(I just recreated the original because that one is jpegged to hell and back)
I work smarter not harder
I can assure you of my intellectual capacity but there is a severe incompatibility with cognitive functions on this day.
I’m sorry. My brain is slow today and this needs to be done while I am fresh. We can go over it tomorrow.
I am too burnt out today.
I can’t focus on that right now.
I am not functional enough for that.
I don’t even make shit up and I am done with corpo speak. If they can’t accept that, then they can get over it. We can discuss this like humans. If I can get you started, great, but if you want this done right, you will wait.
All of those make the person seem incapable or otherwise unable to fulfill their daily activities/roles. I dunno I think this wouldn’t be great to say unless maybe you were legitimately sick. There are times you just gotta suck it up and get er done.
Not when you are a developer trying to write code for a critical part of the system. Sucking it up isn’t going to make it magically happen and it will be a mess.
Sorry, I have exceeded my bandwidth for the day.
“Sorry, I don’t function well on Mondays”
“But today is Wednesday”
“I call it third Monday”
And tomorrow is before-friday.
What’s the priority on this? I’ve been a little scattered today.
Bear with me, I’ve been running around all day, and I need to catch up and refocus.
I like the first sentence as a standalone reply.
I promise I’m smart my brain is just sautéed.
Then there’s me. Who’s not smart AND my brain is fried. AMA
*whose
Thank you
Nope, you have it right, it’s “who’s” in that sentence. You could write “who’s not smart and whose brain is fried”, but the first one is “who is”.
How many fingers? 🖐️
4!
24?
Close enough
“Apologies, X AM/PM is too early in the morning for my brain”
It becomes more of a joke the later it is in the day.
When I’m in that situation, my go-to is “I don’t think I can do that today, but I think we should definitely look into that sometime”
I’ve seen
I am at capacity
And
My head is full
“I’m having a 4th Monday this week”
