My department was working double time to keep things running, so we got to put our PEP stuff off for a month or two. Since we've also been told there won't be any raises (honest, I'll be happy to have a job in the current and likely future environment), no one is really feeling the need to push forward with that. I strongly suspect my manager will write, "didn't snap and go on a rampage with knives—gold star" on everyone's form and be done with it.

I shoulda put that under "goals"

It does not seem right that "peanuts" comes before "peas" alphabetically

We got an announcement from the CEO of the Medical Center that on May 8th their will be an announcement about furloughs. I wasn't even thinking it could be possible that I would be furloughed because I have so much work! Thanks CEO. What I am imagining for my school is that they might ask us to equally share a furlough which seems fair, except I HAVE SO MUCH WORK between now and July 1.

PS I am still working right now. I have zoom meeting most of the day, so most work has to happen after five.

Shouldn't it be:

PEA _____ plural peas PEANUT ____ plural peanuts

I am behind on my mask making, didn't sew at all this weekend. Gonna head down now and try to get three done and some cut out before 10.

I may need to order some of that flour, beth. I used to do stress baking back in the day, and now may be the time for me to take it up again.

And while I'm complaining about performance reviews, I am grateful that I have a job and can do it from home, and that my employer actually is being thoughtful and supportive.

I mean, to be fair, 600 dollars a week at 40 hours would be $15/hour and while that's been the fight in some places, there are plenty of people who make way less than that, even before you add in any normal unemployment numbers.

Oh you know, I thought it was per month, not per week.

I not only have all purpose flour, today I got tapioca flour so I can make pao de queijo, the best thing ever.

Also I know there are some good neighbors around here, but I am feeling like an excellent neighbor because I just delivered margaritas to my neighbors.

That was one of the first things I learned to make when I went gluten free, and those things are SO DAMN GOOD.

Your self-assessment is incorrect: you are THE BEST neighbor!

One of the things they said was they wanted to furlough people before July so they could get the extra money. But also, I am sure they want to get stuff off this year's books, as July 1 is our fiscal year.
