Just got am email from Supervisor asking everyone to have their time sheets in by 3pm today. Except we have an electronic timeclock and I'm not off (therefore can't clock out) until 4:15. SMDH

That's so silly! I mean, surely your supervisor knows what kind of system you have. At my job we can approve time sheets whenever.

Of the dozen or so of us under him, 4 of us are not salaried (therefore slaves to the timeclock). He was actually referring to time charge sheets (i.e., charging time to projects, which I don't do in my function) but just didn't state it clearly. It's a quandary - under the last two guys, they kept forgetting that my little sub-department was part of the larger department and kept forgetting to tell us stuff. This guy is good about remembering to include us in his communications, just not so great with clarity so I'm constantly having to ask, "Did you actually mean X, or was it maybe Y?" I suppose it's better to have info that I have to follow up on than when I just never got the info.

Dana, that sucks they put you both through that for nothing.

msbelle, that's one of the things I like about working from home - when I say what I'm really thinking to work colleagues who aren't present, no one is around to judge me. Hopefully, they'll respond to a remote cluesticking.

Maria, that is A LOT. I have no words, other than I wish you (all of you) some well-deserved peace.

askye, good luck. That sounds...complicated.

epic- luckily my stuff isn't too complicated. I show up, go where I'm told, be nice to customers, and do whatever is my assignment for the day (they are rotating things around),go eat lunch in my car, and then at some point go home. And depending where I'm at say "the entrance to the mall is closed, you have to go out the main doors and drive around to the Cheesecake Factory entrance" about 3 dozen times a day

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.

TIIINNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Jeez louise, Maria! You guys need a break.

Oh Maria. That really is a deluge. Yikes. Many virtual hugs and adult beverages!

I went to Costco today after the doctor visit to stock up on stuff to keep me dieting. I was impressed with the compliance to distancing and general respect and good nature of people. Masks are mandatory in this area. The worst example was a guy I saw going into a CVS with a plastic grocery bag for a mask. But overall the people in my county are taking rules seriously.

Oh, Maria, I'm so sorry, that sounds like too much to deal with.

I am disgruntled and unfocussed and as a result I took the afternoon off from work. Took a nap and a long walk with the dog. Could have been worse.

I gave another set of rides to a resident who subsequently turned out to have Captain Trumps (we thought she had a UTI), so the upshot is that I'm 'isolated' from work for a week (with pay) to see if I get it. It's fairly low-risk (we all had masks on, good hygiene on my part) but it was a small, enclosed space for I'd guesstimate around 25 minutes total, plus Tuesday was another short car contact.

I suppose I should be all kinds of apprehensive, but mostly I'm just annoyed. Worst staycation ever.

Maria, I am sorry things are so difficult.

msbelle, you are a saint for not setting this person on fire. My work is processing documents (to other ends and means), and I'm currently cursing previous cataloger for not cataloging stuff in the way it should be done so I'm opening a file after another in a 34 boxes archive and correcting their catalog. Thankfully the archive in itself is interesting and my boss is understanding, but whyyyyy putting together things that don't belong together/should have been thrown out in one file and adding a random year to each file, why.

I also met with my parents today for a short while after a month of them asking me to and promises that they'll wear masks and be diligent. Guess who didn't wear masks correctly and were less than diligent? I kept my distance and mask at all times, but it was a good reminder why I kept this meeting from happening for so long (we're currently in a somewhat good COVID-19 situation in my country so I allowed it).

Heh. Captain Trumps. Why have I not heard this one before? At least it will be a week cooped up at home with pay.

I somehow missed the video from Gris. I've got to go find and watch it.

Wow, Maria. That's so much. I hope your mom feels better soon and wish you and MedicGuy some boredom.

msbelle, I think that person is now my nemesis too.

Shir, I am glad you got to see your parents. I remember how they wanted to make plans for Passover. My mom didn't know her (cloth) mask was supposed to go under her chin, but a neighbor in her building clued her in.

Little things like that are one of the problems with not being able to see our older parents. It never occurred to me that she wouldn't know that.
