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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

Thrive to spite them
I am trying to get in touch with mom and telling her she does not need to go to Costco with us. I will buy her whatever she needs and take it to her. But there are potential cases near here and she had a so much upper respiratory problems this winter she needs to self isolate a smucb a spossible
I read that Wal Mart has drastically changed their leave policy and I hope that work here does as well.
I was planning on going to Florida at the end of April but now I'm wavering. It's over a month a way but who knows what happens and I don't want to transfer germs all around various states.

Cash, I'm so sorry for everyone involved, especially you and your sisters and your poor dad.

They're supposed to notify the administrators if they go out of state?? What are the admins supposed to do with that info?? Randomly decide if that makes it ok for them to go to class?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Your guess is as good as mine. The real question is whether any of the students have even been reading the notifications from the admin, or are just going tl;dr.

I'm about ready to cut the co-worker who keeps checking how soon I'll be finished with the pile of EXTREMELY URGENT printer prep she dumped on me at E.O.B. yesterday and then going back and finding things she wants me to change afterward.
Bitch, put down the review PDFs and step away slowly!
