Timelies all!
I'm currently going in to the lab 4 days out of 5. Our lab space is not the biggest, so trying to social distance is a challenge.We're all masked, so that's something, I guess...
Easy Bake. Flop-a-palooza. Woosh. Pop. I don't skulk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I am, as they say, all alone by the telephone. I answer calls and tell people everyone else is working from home and direct them to the appropriate email address (I have them send to team addresses, in the hope that someone will actually answer). I don't wear a mask in the office except on the rare occasions someone else is in.

Our wings are not tired.
Everyone here is masked for the most part. The internet service guy came to the house today to give me a new modem. The 3 of us here and service dude chatted about 45 minutes while he did his thing. All of us were masked, and no surprise, we all could breathe just fine.

Because books.
I'm intrigued by the idea of a Japanese mosquito pig!
Based on what Shir said about Israel, and the NYT story today, I am less convinced that schools can be reopened safely. The Times story said middle-schoolers were the worst carriers/spreaders.
The map for Covid cases trending upward is also awful. We suck as a species, man.

After 7 months my brother and I have finally gotten it worked out to where I can access the money in the 529 College Savings Account he set up, in his name, for Mac.
So tonight I call to get the first withdrawal. I get through all the questions and am about to give the guy on the phone the $ amount and he says "so this can only go to a school, your brother's bank account, or in a check to your brother."
HEAD DESK. The whole point of me being given access was so I could get the money to myself, the person paying the bills.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy Bastille Day, everyone! Thanks for the birthday wishes. I'm having an ordinary day, with cake. A cake that looks like a sheet cake, you'd never believe it, I'm a genius.
My co-workers all sang Happy Birthday to me over Zoom. It was so nice. My boss signed off with "Keep being awesome!" I like working there. I feel appreciated.

Aw, yay Zen. Glad work is not horrible like your last job.

Appreciation is indeed the best present.
