Okay, so far, so good. Salary good. We'd relocate to the Atlantic side of Florida, which could be worse. Yes, there hurricanes, but presumably no snow.

I read last night that Ohio State is moving to all-online classes.
Yeah, I'm at another Big Ten school, so their example may be persuasive to our administration. The schools cooperate on many academic issues at this point.

Nilly! So good to see your pixels, even if it's due to self-quarantine. I hope all turns out clear.
We had a funeral for a longtime friend of my mom's today. She was fine until the part came to walk past the (open) casket, and that really shook her up. Then out of the funeral and into the dumpster fire at work. This is a very Monday-ish Tuesday so far.

My new boss just lost her mother unexpectedly and is out all week.

Oh, poor woman. How is that for you finding your feet, msbelle?

It's so great to hear about your kids, Nilly! I hope you can de-isolate soon.
My university's still thinking about going all online. Our governor just declared a state of emergency, though, so that may figure into things.
As we discussed closures in work slack today, this was shared: [link]

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I read last night that Ohio State is moving to all-online classes.
Harvard just announced the same. My school (which is not Harvard) is discouraging students, faculty, and staff from traveling to other states, particularly over spring break. (Of course, they'll be closing the dorms over spring break, so any out of state students will have to leave the state for spring break.) They do note that faculty who actually commute to school from another state (like me, for instance) may continue to do so. Anyone who does travel to another state is expected to notify the administration of where and when. #CT BoR in full blown panic mode.

My class tonight was canceled! This works out perfectly for me since I didn't do the reading and wasn't planning to go!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
So far no word on closings of schools around here, but a conference TCG is supposed to go to in two weeks has been canceled.
I reorganized all of ltc's clothes today. Stored away all the really heavy stuff and put all the top small items in a bag for vw's Stitch. My clothes desperately need to be organized, but that never seems to happen.
