So very sorry, Calli. It's so hard at a time like this.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm sorry, Calli.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry, Calli.

Omg. My little sister just broke her ankle. She clearly wants to be just like me. Yikes. (Not as badly as I did though—sounds like maybe a cast rather than surgery, I hope?) thankfully she has a husband who can help her.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I'm so sorry for your loss, Calli. And as stated above, no reason a memorial can't be postponed. A service I was supposed to go to on the 20th got rescheduled to July.
Got news that my work has been closed down today - someone self-reported Covid-like symptoms. They're bringing in even more extra cleaners to do a deep-clean this afternoon, sent everybody home today, and the person was going to the doctor. We're supposed to call in tonight to find out if we're open tomorrow. I've been WFH for nearly 2 weeks, so I'm not concerned for myself, but I do worry about the people who have been going in every day. And it means that the tentative plan I had about running in to the office to pick up a couple things from my desk has been put on extended hold.
Are we worried about the wallet, msbelle, or just shaking our heads at the "I'd lose my head if it weren't attached"-ness?
Amy, I'm glad Sara's doing well. And I'm shaking my head at your boss' sheer nerve.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
People, stop breaking things!
Husband's interview went well. My interview was also fine, though I'm side-eyeing the fact that they can't tell me if it would be contract or full-time (or contract to full-time), and they may not even know when they're ready to hire. So I'm just supposed to accept a job and not know those details? Um.

Thanks, y'all.
I'm glad your husband's interview went well, Dana. And, yeah, those seem like important details for your own potential job. If nothing else, they should be able to say, "Normally we would do X, Y, and Z for position R. These aren't normal times, so we're still working out certain details about Y and Z."
