Isn't the deal with Jumanji that you can't just stop playing, you have to win?

We're supposed to adjust our sales forecast for the next few months to anticipate the effect of the "COVID-19 situation" as we are apparently referring to it. Bwahahahahaha, yeah, lemme just find where I put that crystal ball...

information libertarian

I reached out to my 18 direct reports today, and spoke to 15 of them on the phone. (I texted everyone first to ask if it was a good time to call.)

I am an introvert who dislikes the phone, and I am TIRED. But everyone is healthy and it was good to hear their voices.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My direct supervisor realized that our setup was not ideal for the times(we all sit along one table, basically shoulder to shoulder) so she set up a schedule where people take turns staying home. Tomorrow is my turn, so we'll see how that goes.(Not working from home, just staying home)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I didn't see the original, but based on the remake with Mr. The Rock, yes, you have to win. Sometimes using sexy dance fighting.

I'm not sure I saw the original all the way through. I think I was working in a movie theater when it came out so I saw bits and pieces on my breaks.

I hope your day-at-home is good, Sheryl. Mr S vibes your way.

Our wings are not tired.

I love Jumanji deeply despite seeing the original a billion times. I may need to rewatch.

Because books.

Same. My kids loved the original Jumanji.

The boys made me watch it repeatedly as kids do, and I didn't mind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I just made chicken tenders with a proper three-step coating including toasted panko, and I have to say, it was worth it! But I hate throwing out the leftover egg, etc.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So there seems to be an idea that since I'm off work until at least the 30th and I'm getting paid I should go to the beach, in Florida.

I wouldn't. Between all the recommendations against unnecessary travel and the quantity of spring breakers who have been in Florida anyway that seems like a bad idea.

One thing about WFH. It does make dealing with a migraine a little easier. Not that I did much more than keep up with emails.
