You sure do know how to start the day, Barb.
The list of people on Biden's COVID transition advisory board is making me happycry.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Plus the news that Pfizer's vaccine has a 90% efficacy rate! (And you cannot tell me that Pfizer didn't know this last week. My speculation is that they sat on the news until after the election was called, so that Trump couldn't claim responsibility for what seems to be a very effective vaccine.)

Our wings are not tired.
Looking to actual scientists and experts for leadership! What a concept. sniff

No idea on whether they sat on it, but he already tried to claim responsibility and they shot him down!

Oh, get the FUCK out! One of my authors -- literally, I was working on his author changes this morning -- is named to the Covid task force! When I sent an email last week saying "Hey, your article was due yesterday; please return it so we don't have to send the goons out," he replied and said "Apologies -- we are a bit distracted with 'current events'," and I assumed he meant the general suspense around the outcome of the election. But no, it seems he meant "I have been talking to Team Biden about being on the freaking Covid task force!!!" That is so cool!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha! The good ones are always subtle about it.

I sent him a congratulatory email and let my coordinator know about his appointment to the task force (though I assume the AMA already knows, but maybe not, so I figured I'd help).

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I *guess* that excuse is acceptable, Tep.
Test~ma for everyone needing it.

“Not dead yet!”
Tep, that is SO COOL!

Tep that's cool!
I had a horrid customer the other day, Thursday, (I was out straightening on the sales floor and trying to help people). He talked over me, wouldn't let me say anything , then got mad when I tried to say something. Got mad that he couldn't try on pants and I did my usual "our dressing rooms have been closed since we reopened in May, it's part of our pandemic policies" and he snapped back with "Covid isn't real!"
I had this moment of "oh dude you are just pissed Biden won".
