I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

non- COVID related.

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.

And it is apparently someone's job to keep up morale and foster teamwork

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yep, Dallas County is now under shelter-in-place. Well, technically, not until midnight tonight. We still need to go to the grocery store today, of course.

The bakery we go to is closing. I was hoping they were still considered essential because we have to interact with less people to get bread there, and it is better bread.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've had people try to call me "Toddy" (shudder).

The consequences of professors ask to open cameras + having cats + recorded live lessons = my cats are now well documented on university's servers.
