I bailed on going into the office today. Am still managing to get more of the GD telework things done. Tomorrow I will have to go in again and then Thursday I have an all day online training.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

They should take a page from the Pentecostal book. If a poisonous snake is thrown down on the floor, the spirit moves a lot of people REAL FAST!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We just got told we have to take a week of furlough sometime in May/June. We can take it unpaid or use vacation time, which is whatever, fine, I am trying to look at it as being allowed to take vacation time because I was feeling like I wouldn't be able to ask for time off at all. My boss put up a spreadsheet for everyone to put their time into minutes before I had a call with a customer, so by the time I even got to look at it there was no way for me to take 5 days off in a row. There are 8 days for me to choose my 5 days in. One Monday, 4 Tuesdays, 1 Wednesday, and 2 Thursdays. That is some bullshit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, that really is some bullshit!
I was reading about a Quaker meeting that was having online/Zoom meetings and one person asked another if they were meditating or if their computer froze up.
Heh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That is definitely bullshit.
I am waiting for a doctor to show up at this telehealth visit, and she is running late, just like physical appointments. Yay better living through technology?

Straight up bullshit, -t. Can you tell someone in power why you were late to the signups and see if they'll help you out? Hope so, that seriously sucks.

hey! guess who has done none, absolutely none of college work for the whole semester?
You guessed it.
Not sure if he ever attended a class at all, but dropped or was dropped from his business class and is getting an AMAZING 0.00% in his music class (the one for the certificate he supposedly wants to get).
This means Any money I have gotten from the college savings account to pay his expenses is in violation of the tax law. He has to be taking at least 2 classes to be legally using those funds.
my son. the asshole.

Oh dear. He sounds like my friends' kids who are about that age. And honestly, like some of my friends at that age! They eventually got their acts together.
