And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

msbelle I think the only solution is to start calling everyone Trina, whether they were on the original group email or not.

Our wings are not tired.

Or change everyone's first names to Tino.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Can you please confirm full name being changed from and full name changed to so I can make sure my records are correct"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

-t, I thought about doing that, but I am hesitant to make someone dead name themselves if that is what is going on here. Also I know that they had to already have this discussion with TONS of people since I am not the official record keeper for HR, not the email person, nor their department person, nor the benefits person, nor the payroll person - all of which I would guess Trina had to deal with to get things updated.

I may reach out to our records people to see if they know, if the boss does not get back with me.

ION - my dog-walker is probably going to regret telling me that she does not vote.

Ah, did not realize you are not official record keeper. There's no clue from the email address Trina used, I guess?

If she doesn't then I'll be happy to join in on the harassment. I'm not at all shy about asking people if they are registered and planning on voting. Everybody gotta vote!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

not for the first time huggles the people's republic of massachusetts with all the masking rules and all

What is even happening?

Our administration has decided that we cannot require customers to wear masks. Apparently we can't even suggest it and provide the masks. (I guess because we're a public space and they are afraid of litigation like whoa.)

Not being able to suggest/offer a mask seems silly. That's entirely different from requiring.

I purchased 50 cloth masks basically so I could toss them in the wash after every quick use. It is hot here so masks get sweaty quickly. I've given a handful to various basketball kids and my cleaning lady and they were all grateful. The masks were $30 for 50 and it is nice to have bunches in the cars and quickly available as needed.
