For your amusement, may I present this dramatic kitten.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And it's been 2.5 weeks since I donated, with no results, so time to call and nag them.
I don't remember if I got results anywhere other than the app -- I was glad someone at the drive told me to get the app for that purpose!
And you have to keep your windows rolled up until you get into the tent labeled "hot zone" where they do the actual swabs, so all communication is done by guys in fatigues holding up signs at you like you're in some kind of dystopic Arrival/Love Actually crossover.
That is incredibly evocative!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've been checking the website for results. They have the other stuff like hemoglobin, but no antibody test yet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And now there was some kind of problem with my donation? That no one told me about? So they couldn't test it? But they're trying to set up testing on its own or something? So maybe they'll call me?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have been trying to make a new appointment to give blood when I'm eligible again so I can get the antibody test but their website really doesn't seem to like me. Either I can't log on or it won't show me any appointments for my local blood center, just blood drives 10+ miles away that are too soon for me to give blood anyway. They said they were merging my account with a truly ancient Sacramento area account because I guess the companies or whatever they are merged so, yay my donation history is way more complete but I suspect that might be contributing to my login problems. Frustrating.
Twow more senior sales directors leaving. I don't know if they are fleeing a sinking ship or the new VP is cleaning house or what but it's disturbing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I guess an advantage to working where I do is that I can get tested for free regularly. Also, next day results. (Of course the downside is that I have more potential exposure than in other settings)

'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"
All things considered, I'd volunteer to be tested like, once a week, which would be a greater peace of mind. (I am also lucky in that I have an employer who will pay me while I waited out a quarantine if exposed, not to mention health insurance if I did get sick.)

Minor good things today::
- I made a muffaletta sandwich for lunch.
- A guy probably half a decade or more my junior called me "young man" at the dollar store.
- I've caught up on the backlog for all files I have on hand before the editors can send any back to me for additional changes.
