Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

So, I updated on Facebook, but mu Uni has figured out it is better for us to self isolate than to be available to man the hospital as essential.

So I am officially work from home. I have to go in tomorrow during non-peak hours to pick up my work charging cord, because my iPhone/iPad charger has stopped working. I have a laptop now, so it is semi-OK.

The bus is now free and we are entering the back door? Not sure how this helps.

We are still getting many contradictory messages, so my 60 plus year old instructors are still going to the building to lecture because they want to, but I am supporting remontely.

I am enjoying being on the lectures and having more contact with the students. I miss my theatre students

I did some one on one training over zoom with the person taking over my job, and it actually worked far better than me hovering over her shoulder and trying to read her computer screen. When she shares her screen I can see, and when she feels overly watched while she tries things, I can just take a break and do something else!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I am officially work from home.

Phew!!

We got a message today that they are actually going to be tracking and reviewing who badges into U buildings -- I assume because some faculty will try to get their staff to come in with them, and some scientists will insist on keeping working. Yikes!

JZ, take care of yourself. I hope it is something random and goes away soon.

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

I'm sorry Matilda didn't get in.

Sophia, I'm glad you can WFH.

Oh, so sad for Matilda. May another window open for her.

And for Jessica's family: peace and strength to you all.

I fear we will all need peace and strength soon.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Poor Matilda. I am heartbroken for her.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What school could possibly not want her and consider itself lucky to get her? I don't understand.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I asked Matilda what Emmett said. She said, "He said he was sorry. And he cried a little bit. And then he changed the subject."

Maybe that's all anybody needs. Validation. Empathy. Moving forward.
