Oh god, Cash. I have to say, that story sounds even more bizarre than it is when they don't name the victim.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Dammit. I'm very sorry, Cash.

Oh, Cashmere, that sounds so terrifying and awful! I'm so sorry.

I'm so very sorry, Cash. Your poor father, and even so, your poor brother.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so sorry your family is going through this, Cash.

Because books.
Oh, Cash, I'm so sorry. What a mess. How's your dad now?

Oh jeez Cash. I'm so sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Dad's healing up okay. He's sore and more than a bit traumatized. But Joe's been calling him all day leaving messages on his phone, wanting to get bailed out. Just when I think it can't get worse. My sisters are going to visit Joe in jail and put a stop to the harassment.
We do have a protective order.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Cash.
Can you get your dad to block the calls from your brother? Or is he still using a landline?
W/rt WFH, my org of 44,000 individuals only currently has the capacity to give about 4,000 access to the network. They say they're trying to beef that up, but I suspect my WFH options will be limited: I keep a lot of files on the network, and I have to use a special app on our system for some of my reviews.
My brother-the-doctor is apparently 5 miles from me, treating patients coming off the Princess. Those poor people--and let's not forget they're keeping the CREW on the ship, putting them in quarantine on the ship, since most of them are not likely to be American citizens. It's awful. Nobody seems to know where the ship is going next.

We're getting some patients off the ship at Travis, but apparently only Americans with no symptoms who haven't tested positive. I found the press release thing about it super weird. I was pondering what my company will do if there's a general suggestion for people to wfh. The warehouse obviously cannot. Would it make any sense to keep the warehouse running and have office staff wfh? Maybe, but it seems wrong to me. OTOH, if the warehouse did shut down I would still have plenty to do trying to keep us ready to start shipping again as soon as we could, and I could do that from home. Ah well, utterly out of my hands.
