A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

D will work from home next week; his team will do week WFH shifts, 1 in, 1 off, until further developments.

And my mom agreed to cancel my dad's memorial next weekend.

I was very anxious this morning until I went grocery shopping. It was..not panicked out there, but a palpable sense of urgency.

Oddly enough, a global pandemic hasn't stirred up a single desire for a Xanax/Ambien. It's been 4 years. I'm fairly astonished! And I'm still sleeping decently through this.

...and in the time it's taken me to write this, D will be WFH til the 30th at least.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The woman at Target in front of us told us that someone charged at her when she took the last of something, but that she (the woman in front of us) has a concealed carry permit, so she showed the woman her gun. Then she showed us her gun.

So I've got a lovely anxiety stomachache now.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

y'know, the axiom used to be, "see Rome and die" ... I don't think it was supposed to be taken literally ....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yikes, Dana!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oddly enough, a global pandemic hasn't stirred up a single desire for a Xanax/Ambien.

That's great!

It's been 4 years.

That's really excellent, Strix!

And I'm still sleeping decently through this.

Also great!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

University just sent out a notice that we'll be teaching online until the end of the semester.

I have been alone in the office since 8:40 and I hate it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My office is going to be fully staffed on Monday for planning and preparation for all-staff WFH. I received a mention that our head person has a special project for me that will require no internet access ... not sure how that's going to work out.

On the brighter side, I saw, somewhere, a notice that UHaul is offering college students either free or discounted storage.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We were supposed to come in Monday and then switch to WfH for the next 3+ weeks. But the boss just Slacked us saying, basically, that was silly, and we had Zoom for a reason. WfH starts now. No more March commutes for me.
