I see you!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Quick illustration of communication in my company - one of my salespeople asks me to call her, she and I talk about a big account and she shares with me a document compiling information saying "I don't know why your department isn't on this, you should be on it". Two minutes after I get off the phone with her I get an email from my boss's boss asking if he shared a doc with me this morning, I tell him salesperson did, he says there's no need for me to be on that one, there's another one for our department, he'll take me off. Of course, since I've seen both docs I know all the information is not on either one, but I guess that is not my problem.

Thrive to spite them
SC gov is resisting shelter Rin place. The Charleston mayor had said business as usual will kill people. We aren't really at business at usual but there are a lot of people going down town and other places. Officially still for work we go back in a week but I'm expecting that to change.
Right now I'm waiting for a call back from the bank because I lost my debit card and waiting to hear my prescription is ready. Although I can't really pick up my prescription until I get a debit card. Or access anything and there isn't a branch open near me.
The whole higj school process in SD sounds stressful and hard under normal circumstances I can't imagine how much more stressful this is making it .
I'm trying to stay off Facebook and Twitter today .
And I keep thinking random things. Like how are people who are minimalists or those tiny homes dealing with shelter in place.

two people at the new job have just decided to respond to my emails with "Becky" - ummmm my signature is my full name. I often sign the emails in addition to the signature with my full name. also? you don't know me - how are you gonna just shorten someones name in a work environment.
I corrected one. the other one is in my department and I just want to handle it gently.

Has anyone whose official job this was ever done anything but the exact opposite in the history of ever?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
One of the first things you told me when we met face to face was not to call you that name.
In other news, it's frickin' snowing here.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh that sounds fun.
I'm so grumpy already. I don't know how I'm going to last ten more days without chewing off my own leg or my family smothering me in my sleep.

People try to call Jacqueline "Jackie" and that does not go over well.

Anyone trying to call ltc any shortened version of her name will get an earful from her.
