msbelle, can you call them? I mean I probably check my email every 2 hours, but if I'm really busy I might go 4. A little prompt to check it if something is important doesn't bother me.

I don't think so. Any activities after he was notified to turn himself in in Italy can be considered to be done with knowledge and intent. Plus, he has admitted several times that he deliberately attempted (and succeeded) in circumventing the no-fly restriction by entering Canada, and knew that he would expose people on his way to treatment in the US. He did not wear a mask at any time, further showing his recklessness

I meant the father-in-law, not the guy himself. I won't blame the father-in-law for giving him TB or for helping him hide it, just because he works for the CDC.

I'm also not going to assume the wife knew anything just because she's (a) his wife and (b) the daughter of a CDC expert on TB. Though my sympathy for her is fading because it's becoming harder to believe she didn't know anything about what was going on. It looks more and more like she should have at least suspected something was up.

Apologies for the confusion.

nope, she is working from home today. she said to email.

every two hours? OH my. I have email ADD, I check like every 10-15 min. at least.

I can't even talk about the TB lawyer.

I have to say, they matched me with a ton of non-Christians (other religions and non-religious), and I did identify myself as Christian.

I want to say that I read they started out as a Christian dating service, and then switched to a non-religious focus to widen their potential customer pool.

In the days before 9/11, a friend of mine used to pick up TB strains from places in Central America and bring them back to his lab in Unnamed University in his carry-on. He was very popular. He also demanded and introduction to my friend who came back from Central America with Dengue Fever, because he really wanted a blood sample or two. He now studies TB in fish.

Ok, this whole post made me think, "Goo heavens, talk about an employee who needs to wash his hands BEFORE going to the bathroom!"

TB guy makes me more than a little twitchy.

So, yesterday sucked. Migraine all day, finally decide to try kettlebell to see if the endorphins could do what the abortives couldn't, and almost made it. Went swimming, of which I did little, but it seemed to be soothing. Went to dinner, which rapidly displayed itself as a very bad idea and promptly became dependent on other people to get me home and to bed.

I hate this. That's twice in two weeks now.

Seven million things to do at work, and all I can think is that I'm still having the same damned headache from yesterday morning.

You should resend your reply a few times. In progressively bigger font. Just in case.

I did this in my mind, but not in reality, because reality leaves an electronic paper trail that I'd rather not see at my yearly review.

Somebody has decorated the counter in the bathroom.

Runners, figurines, a vase of fake flowers, bottles of scented lotion, hairspray, body spray, soap.

I mean, it's very generous of somebody. It's also a little ... different.

If it were a small office and a one-holer, I could sort of see it. But this is a 300+ person place and standard public(ish) bathrooms.

Runners, figurines, a vase of fake flowers, bottles of scented lotion, hairspray, body spray, soap.

Huh...what kind of figurines???

Also, I loved the story about you and your neighbors and the prom!

Also, Jesse, msbelle-- Bright Food Shop is closing, and they're taking the sign down. Kitchen/Market is closing too.

Sad.

I am having a problem with someone who works for me. Not about her work, but she is totally wigging out about something that she needs to not wig out about. I've already given her "YOU MUST CHILL" a couple of times this week, but today she's totally in the wig spiral. I'm not sure how to handle it.
