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

The first person in my office building is out with flu like symptoms. I got the email late yesterday afternoon. sigh.

Good morning board. Not sure what I heard on the NPR news this morning in my not yet wakefulness or what I dreamt last night, but today already feels heavy.

Our wings are not tired.

Good morning. I forwarded my phones to my cell so I could be a lazy slug on the couch for a bit longer. My doctors and staffs are wearing me out.

good lord and when I send my email to my department informing them of the attendance with 1 out sick, my co-worker asks who it is.

Yeah, I cannot tell you that. We are HR, she should understand HIPAA. Jesusita.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Totally forgot that my boss is buying us all lunch this week (doordash no contact delivery to our homes, magic!) and today is my turn. Oatmeal will be for dinner...

That's fun, t!!

I had some kind of maybe gallbladder attack last night? Woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was being stabbed. Luckily it only lasted for maybe 10 minutes but I was like "aww crap please don't make me have to go to an ER or have surgery, body! Not now!"

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

The lakefront and parks in Chicago are now closed because too many people were still gathering.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The National Cathedral found 5,000 face masks they'd bought in 2006. They checked with CDC and the masks are still good, so the Cathedral is donating them. 5,000 to Georgetown Hospital, 2,000 to Children's.

I saw an article somewhere about tattoo artists donating their stashes of masks and gloves too.

Some people really don't suck.

I saw that TV (and movie, maybe) productions that have doctors and hospitals are donating any real masks, etc., that they have.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Last night when I was conferencing with my students, one of them apologized for a backgroung buzzing noise. It was her boyfriend getting a tattoo in the next room.

Sometimes you just need to get ink.
