Oh, flea! At least your coworkers aren't going to be sitting around looking at the empty spot you used to occupy, thinking of better times.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Hi Pix!

Our wings are not tired.
Hiya, Pix. We are quite grateful you are in our world. Way too much sucks.

Hi Pix!
Also, dang flea. That sucks a lot for your poor coworkers! Also for you but at least you were prepared.

Lovely to see you as always, Pix!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Hi Pix!
Woke up twice this morning before the alarm. Once because Gary got up, and once because Mr. S's clock played his wakeup music.(He obviously messed around with the time.) Sigh...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am trying to get up and going earlier since I am in the office next week. Today for the first time in months, I was up, showered, dressed, and had taken care of the dogs before the start of my workday.
Then I've putzed around most of the day, doing the barest of minimums.

Just heard from a friend that a friend of theirs that I've met a few times passed away this weekend - possibly COVID (autopsy pending). Only 36 years old and she seemed like such an awesome person. I'm not sure about whether she had any underlying health concerns, but I can't help but wonder if the fact that she was a WOC was a contributing factor to her treatment. Any way you look at it, such a damn tragedy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm so sorry, Epic.
you are doing the RIGHT thing, both for you and for all the others including your coworkers. Keeping all of my digits crossed here.
I actually slept a real night's sleep last night and feel a lot better. My fatigue was just overwhelming.
I just was so aghast when he kicked me out. Like somehow I was special and could work until noon instead of calling him or texting him the night before when I made my appointment as would have been the responsible thing to do.
It's sad though. Any other situation and I'd have gone to my doctor because it was the fatigue that was really concerning me. But random county-provided COVID testing is better medicine than seeing my PA.
DH is very upset. Mostly at her hospital for asking her to come back to work, knowing she wouldn't say no.
They shouldn't have asked. Her age, her DH's age and conditions and basically taking advantage of knowing she'd say yes.
In totally sane employer news, my DIL has officially been told she will be WFH until the virus risk is gone or her maternity leave is done next spring, whichever comes first. Being pregnant puts her in a risk group so she can't go to the office. Period.
Good for them!
Remember how I quit my job? My last day was supposed to be next Saturday. But now it's apparently yesterday
That Band-Aid got ripped off quick.

Oh my flea!
Nice to see you Pix. I too am thinking about how grateful I am for this community. If I hadn't found you guys, maybe I would be one of those people who doesn't wear a mask!!! I was listening to Buffering the Vampire Slayer today and they were talking about being able to hold both loving Buffy, and critically thinking about it in re: of Joss in their minds at the same time, and how fandom is bad at that. I think you guys taught me that!
