You know what's more fun than having an horrific, family tragedy? Having strangers comment about it on the news site's Facebook page.
Which is why I am here more lately. Otherwhere online is a damned dumpster fire. You guys are empathetic and understanding and I really, really appreciate it.
We had a staff meeting today and there was some COVID-19 talk. Our director had been pretty flippant (at least one of my co-workers thought) so my boss agreed to work up a more thoughtful plan about how we will respond when the virus hits close to home. Mostly in our public play area, which is a giant Petri dish.
At least nobody is stealing our TP or hand sanitizer. So, yay?
Yes Cashmere, the over abundance of horrible, mean, and stupid people out there ups my appreciation for Buffistas significantly.
Jesus, Cash, that's awful. I'm glad you can find some kindness here.
... and now my sister thinks she may have been exposed. She's the most vulnerable member of the family, gets bronchitis every winter.
My brother is off the boat. Trying to line up a late dinner or glass of wine with him before he heads to the airport...
Ugh, I can only imagine, Cash. It's nice to have you around anyhow!
Stuff is starting to get canceled around here - the big bellydance thing in April that I wasn't planning on going to, the Pirate Festival although I'm told it's for non-virus reasons, I should check some of the things I was planning on I guess
((CASH)))
Our work is tracking daily absences by department and they were going to be compiled by me, but IT worked out a submission that goes straight to a form for the Health Dept. YAY!
We have our department wide update meeting tomorrow at 11am. I suspect it will be the first of several.
I'm glad I work from home, especially because I just noticed I was gnawing on the side of my thumb as I was reading these posts. I cannot stop touching my damn face. It will be my downfall.
If we can stop touching our faces, our complexions will thank us!
Or so I tell my OMG FIFTEEN NEXT MONTH child.
(AND NILLY!!!! I miss your pixels!)
