Happy birthday to Jessica and happy anniversary to TCG and sj!
My boss’ husband has tested positive for COVID (mild case). She’s tested negative as have the kids. There’s supposed to be six of us working around a tomb less than 4’ tall on Saturday. We’re supposed to “let her know if we’re not comfortable.” So once again because one of my coworkers won’t follow CDC guidelines, I get to choose between potentially exposing myself or losing another day of work. UGH. And not just a coworker, the boss. Most of the time she’s amazing but… I really don’t feel she’s taking this seriously enough.
Happy Birthday Jessica! Happy Anniversary sj!
Wow, a Miracleman sighting! It’s been awhile. You have no idea how many times I got in trouble at work for laughing out loud over something you posted.
Those folks were an uptight lot - I also caused controversy and conversation amongst staff when I sent out an email detailing the dates of my vacation and ended with “woot!” No one could understand what that meant or why I said it and I was made to explain myself.
Happy Birthday, Jess! And Happy 10th Anniversary, sj and TCG!
Tim's Covid test was negative, so that's a relief.
Happy Birthday Jessica!
Happy Anniversary sj!
It's not "ah," it's "ay." Ay-myth, Ay-mitch, Ay-skye.
I stand with the cowgirl on this one. Glad to hear from the source that I've at least been mentally pronouncing the last one right all this time!
I groused here about my erroneous debt war with AT&T post-2007 move, right? It took 18 months to finally get them to admit in writing that I owed them nothing. The only way AT&T will ever see another red cent from me is if they dig up my grave and find loose change in the pockets of the suit I'm buried in.
Happy Anniversary, sj!
Happy Birthday, Jessica!

Ugh, that is a brutal choice. I'm sorry you have to make it.
Oh, also, I assumed their real names were Amy C. H. and Amy T. H., so was quite surprised to learn amyth's last name!
Don't let your guard down. 2020 is determined to be a right dick all the way to the end.
Just got a call from my niece. My sister has Stage 3 breast cancer and just started chemo.
Bonus: Emmett's been exposed to Covid and has to quarantine. (First test was negative, so he should be okay.)

Ugh indeed. I hope you’ll be able to stay safe and solvent.
Sweet Jesus, Hec. I hope chemo is as effective as possible with minimal side effects.

She's scheduled for a double mastectomy and apparently this cancer is aggressive. Also she's in her late sixties, overweight and smokes so she's not really in a great place to fight this.
My niece is being positive but she hasn't watched anybody die from cancer. Doesn't know how to check off the actuarial table in her head and think, "Yeah, that's not a good combination with good odds."
