Silence, the White Mage is now speaking.
i have like 3 santa hats. the big one also has stuffed reindeer antlers :3
i think it depends on how good i am about switching contexts that day. if i'm working on something logic complex that i have to keep track of a lot of things mentally -- i won't be switching around that often and might like... binge work for 4 hours straight without looking up. other times, if the thing is relatively straightforward, i'll implement this segment of logic, answer a text or two, then work on the next bit. i'll also note though -- i don't talk to that many people on a super-frequent cadence -- at most 1 or 2 will ever be messaging me at any point, so i don't need to do a batch answering job XD (and i only read emails from immediate coworkers or direct emails to me LOL; if it's important, it'll eventually get sent to me specifically.)
I am not an actual NPC.
