I had an 18-hour day yesterday dealing with work COVID stuff (plus another 5 hours this morning/afternoon). I'm definitely staring into the middle distance while being anxious for the remainder of the day.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Happy Anniversary, Laura and Brendon!

Happy Anniversary, Laura & Brendon!
Congrats, Maria!
They are shutting down Wisconsin. The Moose at the gate should have told you we're closed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Just got off a conference call with one of our retailers. Feels weird to be discussing inventory levels and store traffic, but the presumption is that everything will stabilize eventually, I suppose.
Good luck, askye. I hope the payees of your bills are understanding and helpful.

Happy anniversary to Laura and Brendon!
My team at work is brainstorming ideas for us to maintain our snarky sense of camaraderie. So far we have a group Spotify playlist ("WOW, you can tell which songs Jillian added"), and some sort of "MTV Cribs" Zoom meetings for people to show what their home working environment looks like.

He's an autonomous adult, damn it, which means he gets to make this stupid-ass decision.
I say this to myself very often.
To celebrate the anniversary we are staying home and eating corned beef and cabbage!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I love corned beef, but I married a vegetarian, so tonight's dinner is vegetarian chili and cornbread.

My work from home situation is exactly as it always has been (so no issues like DX!) but my anxiety is very high. I probably need to go outside and take a walk in the sunshine. Mostly I'm feeling very single. And very pet-less too. Wishing I had a doggo. And a girlfriend. (And a root!)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Happy anniversary, Laura and Brendon!
My anxiety is super high. My FT job situation is stable (minus the travel), so my day to day life is essentially the same. The worrying comes in for my sister and father, and ND and Pix, and all of our Buffista service industry folks.
Yes I know it's strange that an Italian makes amazing corned beef and cabbage, but it's true. Each year we usually have an AYCE buffet with corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and Irish soda bread. Obviously not happening this year, but my dad still made some so that we can offer it to go.

I tossed it in the instant pot this year so we'll see. This is the first year in about 35 years that I am eating corned beef! That is pretty exciting. I love cabbage and potatoes so looking forward to that part too.
