Marathon 

As in a herd of cattle, a pride of lions, or a murder of crows, a "marathon" is the collective for meetings, as in "a marathon of meetings".
Between putting this definition into Urban Dictionary and my marathon of meetings, don't expect me to get any actual work done today.

Overcast 

Subscribed to more podcasts than there is time to listen to (portmanteau of "oversubscribed" and "podcast")
Since I started working from home a couple of days a week, I don't have as much commute time to listen. I was already eight hours behind and then this week fivethirtyeight dropped three bonus podcasts, the final Good Place podcast was three hours long, and then they dropped six episodes of a new Brooklyn Nine-Nine podcast all at once. I'm so overcast I'll never catch up!

Bingefluenza

Calling in sick when Netflix drops new episodes of a series so you can bingewatch
I'm suffering from bingefluenza so I can't come in to work today.
