Work sucks. I got overheated running around doing things, raisedy voice a bit with a coworker not to snap at them just I was anxious.

It's busy. Like way busier than I think anyone expected.and a bunch of people have no patience..at all.

And it's not getting communicated that people won't be able to get into the mall from our store and so they are getting to theall entrance and are upset but I can't see anything open. And I don't know what is open and that is not making the happy.

This is just a perfect storm for all my various anxieties and the fact that people aren't doing what they are supposed to.

I'm not on a register. Providing support but the person on the register was our for 3 months before coming back for 2 weeks before we were furloughed. So he can't remember how to do stuff. He can't keep his mask in place, he's busted 4 pairs of gloves.

One the first day I would have had strong people on the register.

Although yesterday we did almost $100,000 on online orders (mail out and curbside pick up) so that was really good

Most people have been nice though

But there are still too many employees not wearing a mask properly . Although most customers are.

Yay Laura on the negative test.

Oh and this morning one co worker said her brother works for a hospital here and according to him the number Covid 19 deaths is being inflated everywhere because hospitals get paid more if someone dies from Covid 19. So they get $30,000 instead of $10,000 from....I'm not sure who so the hospitals are lying for the extra money and this is just like the flu.

Pretty transparent as anxiety dreams go, I suppose, but do not like!

AGREED.

So after weeks and weeks, Husband didn't get the job. Jesus fucking Christ.

Ugh, Dana. I'm sorry.

You already have a nemesis, msbelle? That seems fast

I was gonna say!

oy ... got a message from our CEO that, effective June 1, we're having salary cuts.

Sorry, Toddson. Hope you can hang on.

That sounds like a lot!

It's interesting to me how many people are apparently dying to get out of the house, because I feel like more of the people I talk to are never going out again!

This is the AP story about May Day strikes. [link]

I'm so furious that you have been forced back to work, askye.

That sounds very stressful, askye! I'm glad customers are mostly behaving well and wearing masks.

Soybeans + bowtie pasta + lemon infused olive oil as a sort of warm salad is pretty delicious, y'all! Lunch is a success.

That does sound good!

That really sucks. I was hoping to help the sanity balance of Florida!

Indeed. There needs to be some kind of balance. Phlebotomist I was talking to today was complaining that his patients seem to be one extreme or the other. They either think it is all a hoax and resent masks and closings, or they cancel their appointments and are refusing to leave the house until a vaccine is available. He seemed to appreciate me being in a more sensible middle.

Listen. I've been there 2 months. Maybe this person will not be a long-time nemesis, but with this current project they are.

They sent over approx 250 forms to me - NOT ELECTRONICALLY, physical forms. They sent old style ones (26 pages) and some new ones (10 pages). Most of the new ones they sent over they also sent with a now unnecessary 2nd form that is 3 more pages.

Some of the forms are single sided, some are double. Most were not stapled, just paper clipped, so some got loose and I've had to try to match things up. They were in NO ORDER, not by department, not alphabetical.

AND the thing that makes me absolutely crazy about them not scanning them in is this. I am not the last signature needed on these docs, they have to get one more department to sign off, so I have to scan all of them in now.

every day I get between 10 and 20 of the electronically that I have to mark as approved and send off for the last approval. I also have to email each employee once the final approval is received, maintain an electric file for all of these and maintain a spreadsheet. This person like tripled the amount of work I have to do one this one thing I am tracking, (I am tracking like 4 other COVID related things and supposed to be starting project management stuff on one project).

Timelies all!

That sounds really aggravating, msbelle.
