Gris, that's a lovely little snapshot of life to have. Thanks for sharing it with us! Good luck with your travels.

I boycotted today. Hopefully will get a working work computer tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath. Haven't decided whether to charge today as sick or admin leave. I WAS sick...of dealing with the bullshit. And the bullshit is grounds for admin leave. And I didn't sleep well. Anyway, not important.

Trust my rage

Gris, where in Brazil? I lived in Rio shortly before I joined the board and traveled almost everywhere when we lived there. Saudades!!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am so sorry Susan. This must be very difficult.

Oh & my friend who is a nurse & former costumer just got in a stash of cat prints & let me get first pick for a mask. She's been making them for coworkers & fam & friends. She's also been making scrub caps, including custom ones for people with hair standard ones don't well work with-ones that handle a large bun, dreads & locs, ponytail-contain-ers, etc.

Thrive to spite them

I am so tired. so so so tired. but the hard physical stuff is over. my forearms hurt from.. god I don't even know.

There are x marks for where customers are to stand in line. X marks to where custoemrs and the cashier are to stand at various points in the transaction.

Person steps forward to the cash wrap to put things on the counter and the cashier steps back until the customer steps back. Tehn the cashier steps forward adn does their thing and steps back so the customer can step forward and pay, etc. So we can maintain 6 ft distance.

I'm sure there will be people asked to leave tomorrow (anyone loitering or not following social distancing will be told they have to follow social distancing rules). It will be intersting. I may keep a tally of how many people are mean, I'm expecting a few.
