Ugh.

yeah, i saw that headline go by. Argh.

I'm so grateful Ricky Manning (XP/writer for Farscape) is a stand-up dude.

I'm WfH at least until the end of the year. And there's speculation that most of our department may never be regularly in the office again. The university is probably going to take a massive financial hit and office space in our city is expensive. I think we're being pretty effective in a WfH context and why pay for space you don't need?

I wouldn't miss my 45 minutes, each way, commute.

My school sounds like we are WFH until the end of the year, unless needed for student labs, Now that I have my work computer home, I am fine with that and will not miss my 2 hour commute on the bus!!!

I miss Nutty; I went from talking to her a couple times a week to nothing, and she pretty much withdrew from most social media that I hung out in as well (it wasn't just =me=). We're all the poorer for it, alas.

Work has picked up the pace, since more things are open, though mostly what I drive residents to are medical appointments, since doctors are now seeing patients for non-essentials, and we've started up program social events (6 people apiece, widely spaced -- but reason to socialize and interact! This is huge for some of them!)... but I'm still doing the mail delivery to each room which takes hours. At least I'm busy, and useful.

Todd, it would probably be least hassle to contact Replacements, Ltd. directly and see what they'll offer for multiple place settings, plus serving pieces in your pattern. You could be rid of it in one fell swoop, in the comforting knowledge that someone will be looking for pieces in that pattern and know to go to Replacements.

Just posting that while I was thinking of it--now back to read the rest of the thread.

I didn't know Replacements did that, although it makes sense. Neat!

We are having another credit approval issue while our one and only credit approval worker is supposed to be having a day off. Every time she calls or texts about what we have to do to fix it and inevitably complains about how everyone is aggravating her (with cause!) she always says "Not you, I'm not mad at you" and it's just so sweet, really makes me feel like I'm doing SOMETHING right.

RE: Joss

oy - alan tudyk retweeted the Variety article and posted on the retweet "Wasn't there, but I have known Joss for 17 years, I honestly can't even imagine it and I have a pretty good imagination."

Like didn't post that someone was asking him about it, but had to come in with a dismissing of the accusation on a project he wasn't a part of.

Beverly, thanks for the recommendation. I do have something that might well be something they'd want. But most of what I have - that I'd like to get rid of - is 19th Century, a specific pattern of white ironstone, plus one complete tea set in soft-paste porcelain. sigh ... I buy and I buy, but never got rid of anything.

Oh no, Alan Tudyk.
