Still working on the face touching thing. I love my face.
Seriously, I wipe my eyes approximately 98,645 times a day.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Fuck me, how is it almost 3:00??? I need to stop taking internet breaks and finish this article. Shoo me away if I'm back here before dinner (unless I say I finished editing) (I promise I will not lie about it just so I can post).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My face has never itched more in my life, now that I'm not supposed to touch it.

Since I'm a contact lens wearer, I'm already pretty good about grabbing a tissue if I feel a need to rub my eyes.

THIS, on the other hand...

I feel like I'm not a face-toucher much, but then it all turns around when I sit down and start reading on the computer.

My University just closed to undergraduate students, but is allowing graduate and professional students to remain on campus and do reasearch and small group work.
My group has to help an entire nursing program go from 100% in person to 100% online by Monday.

My U has not announced anything (the committee met yesterday, so I have been hitting refresh expecting to get a message) and students are on spring break but I have been meeting with faculty in every way possible to get them ready for online classes.
I had lunch with my counterpart at a much bigger, much more highly ranked school in town, and she told me their presumption is on a snow day that people will teach online, and it pretty much works. Of course, we are a mostly lecture based discipline.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
My community college has had two all-campus emails today that confirm that we are on a regular schedule. Fortunately, the virus hasn't spread to our part of Eastern Washington yet, although people are losing their damn minds anyway.
I don't have any idea how I would run online microbiology labs. I sure as hell am not sending them home with more microbes than they already have! Sophia, nursing education that has no hands-on also fills me with dread. Best of luck to you!

It should be very interesting to see how WebEx and Zoom handle the load once everyone comes back from Spring Break. To say nothing of local internet services.

I actually know someone from the chorus I sang in when I lived there who's presumptively got it. Went to the ER, tested negative for flu. He is very responsible about not exposing other people, though.
