Well fuck us all, the Senate has once again failed to pass any sort of aid. Fuck them, just fucking fuck them. The economy is going to crash land. Small businesses cannot ride this out. Entire industries are essentially shuttered due to a public health emergency and those fucking fuckers just fuck around in DC and don't do a fucking thing to fucking help anyone but themselves. I'm so completely seething with rage towards all of them. This country is in desperate need of fiscal help. Businesses are not going to survive this without help, especially not in things like entertainment where things have been gutted and most of the work is closed.

My email folder is actually called "Cover" and has been historically to save kudos, but also anything from bosses that I will need to COVER MY ASS.

The original email from Big Boss about this timekeeping doc was sent out at 10:30, we still have no idea who needs to do it.

It is unbelievable. There are times to be fiscally conservative and during a national emergency is not one of those times.

Just got out being on the other side of a job interview. It's funny how when I'm the interviewee, I'm like "I've got to nail every question", but when I'm the interviewer, I'm like "They were in the ballpark and that's good enough."

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

So, ltc has started to say "shiny!"

UGH to the Senate! Dammit.

I used to try keeping a kudos document but I will forget it is there for long stretches making it useless. I do try to file anything like that I get in an email to a "kudos" folder, but this was all by phone so there's no real record. I guess I could file the email that kicked it off, maybe that will spark my memory when the time comes...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

the Senate has once again failed to pass any sort of aid.

Yes, it is so ridiculously short sighted. I have no idea what they're thinking.

ETA: And it sent the market back into the red, so it's not even like their big money buddies are going to thank them for it.

'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"

I stopped by the CVS on the way home, and it turned out they're doing on-the-spot flu vaccinations, so with only a minor (5 minutes?) wait I got mine in. Which is good, because this year, work is requiring proof that you got one or else fill out a document saying why you can't.

For at least a few minutes I feel all full of virtue.

At this point it's just political fighting. It's all idealism and meanwhile the country burns.
