I'm alive! And Covid negative, as I expected. I go to my PCP this morning to get abused about my weight, cholesterol, and BP. Sigh. All of those were so vastly improved last summer, but now worse than ever. Double sigh.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Eep, Jesse! Pretty transparent as anxiety dreams go, I suppose, but do not like!
I am figuratively bouncing on my toes, ready to throw down with the first customer that looks at me sideways. Come at me, bros, I dare you. Although I will not actually tear into them, I just have a lot of anger and I'm directing it their way in my head for the moment.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So after weeks and weeks, Husband didn't get the job. Jesus fucking Christ.

Wow. I'm sorry, Dana. They really strung him along!

I just spent three hours at the actual office at work, and... wow, that's horrible. I already knew I was okay being a demi-hermit, but going back in there just solidified it. I truly do not ever want to go back any more than is absolutely necessary.
Official guidance for my company is everyone whose job can be done remotely is allowed to WFH through October if they want to.

That sounds pretty reasonable. I hope more places follow suit.

Huh. Our April revenue was actually up from 2019. Direct-to-customer by a lot, but even "warehouse" shipments are up a little. I think we are still down for the year, but still. Surprising.
Will this affect the furlough situation? Not holding my breath.

It's more than reasonable for corporate employees, but I would rather see our fulfillment centers getting the same level of investment and care.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Not great start to the day in the office. Missed a call in with department Sr staff due to a call coming into the office. Report I thought I sent in, was never sent - got call from big boss.
And my nemesis who sent me all the paper docs to deal with sent me another large envelope!!!!
