You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Laura, are you under quarantine for entering NY from Florida?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, Scrappy, that is upsetting.

Supposedly using another person's single-use bathroom is pretty safe, actually, as long as everyone washes their hands. But personally I have been appreciating how Covid is forcing all of us to limit entertaining to 2 hours in order to avoid the issue!

This will definitely be more than two hours, so we'll just hope for the effective handwashing!

I was like "um, it't not an app - it's a website - that is confusing - we should change it in our presentations" to my boss and team. Big boss said it is the term OIT is using!?!?!?!?

People call everything an app now, and it's so weird! I don't know.

They even call stuff "apps" that are just programs running on microcomputers! Very annoying.

Our wings are not tired.

That is jarring, Scrappy.

That is the plan. It is a completely honor system thing so far as I know. We have gone grocery shopping, and I went to Lowe's. My nephew came over and fixed a couple of things that broke over winter, but we wore masks and stayed at a distance. My niece went to NC to visit her son and see her brand new grandchild, so now she has to take two weeks off work. Not sure if or how they actually enforce these things though.

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

yikes scrappy.

Laura - just be extra careful at the wedding.

So the thing I had committed to (helping local liquor store stock) was cancelled. His workers that were not coming in worked things out and are back and things are stocked. Next door neighbor is a friend of his. SO, no worries. I have no plans now and will just sleep in and so house stuff.

Holy cow, Scrappy! So upsetting. My boss had a similar story about one of his neighbors, although the guy didn't try to kill himself. but all the neighbors are of course concerned...

I have mostly had it with the day and am drinking a beer, although my work email is still open...

Yes, I confess to being very concerned. DH called and talked to the groom today. The couple are super athletic health nuts. They will just have to accept a rain check on hugs. It is a large venue and I expect there will be a smaller than originally intended crowd.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Wow, Scrappy, that is very unsettling.

I am trying not to be anxious about work. I have a coworker who is 8 months pregnant (she is coming back for reduced hours) and another whose son had a lung transplant three years ago so she isn't coming back yet.

Thrive to spite them

Scrappy that's really scary and creepy.

Laura - if you are supposed to be quarantining then you should do that and also I keep reading about people who went to events and parties where they were sure they would be fine and they got sick. And not just one or two people it's large numbers of people.

I had a shitty day at work today, I got into a rather unprofessional spat with a co worker right when the store opened and I didn't ealize the store was opened and also didn't think I had done anythign to warrant what happened. She and I don't get along well at all and I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but it ended up something that all assistant managers AND the manager got involved with. Because she went to them.

Seriously we both got places in the same dept. There is one register, I said something like "you can do recovery " or something like that and she took it to mean I was telling her what to do. And I had thought she'd mentioined a couple weeks ago about wanting a break from being on the regsiter and when I said that then I was putting words in her mouth.

I do not fucking care if I'm on register or doing recovery. I do not fucking care if she is in active or goes some place else.

I do care that hte other day she got pissed at the way quarantined go backs were staged (someone is getting together all the downstairs stuff and bringing it down after we close so we dont have to - go down to put up our stuff, go back upstairs to get the go backs, go back down stairs with the go backs) but since it's all together and was over in the section she was in that day (and I'm norally in) suddenly she was acting as if someone expected her to put it all away and kept saying she was goign to talk to the manager about it.

And also I , evidetnally am still pissed taht back when we wre both in mens she would drag her feet about covering my lunch breaks almost every day and it was impossible. I would have to get a supervisor to ask her to cover my break otherwise she wouldn't. We were in the same dept just on opposite ends of the store and I was in the more central part so she'd have to come over but when she took her break I stayed where I was. No matter what I did it was wrong and a big deal, I always feel she's antagonistic to me. but maybe she feels the same way about me. I don't know.

It just left e feeling horrible and like I'm awful and just defective because I know I blundered into this bc of my shitty ability to read people and also bc I just blurt things out and I'm not .. conscious of a lot of things.

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

Oh, Scrappy, what a shock!

I'm sorry, askye.
