Thrive to spite them

Greenville County is talking about opening up middle schools to fully in person. We have the highest rate of coivd cases in the state but why not open all the way up.

Florida State university was the school that wanted proof of child care for remote working parents.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Tim should really get a Covid test. Tell him the lurkers support you in email.

My Maria's school just had her start back teaching in person, but we are definately on the rise here. The University students (except Nursing) are leaving next week and not coming back until February.

I also have a weird work situation, but I think it is good. So you may remember that in 2018 I got a new job at the same school, but could not get rid of my old one well. I am still doing about half of it (admissions and customer service and clinical placements) plus being an emotional support panda for my replacement and one faculty member. In February, my much beloved director of the old job stepped down, and the coordinator of my new position was appointed to take her place as well as still do her old job. The idea was to figure out what/where I could hand off things and/or if it warranted creating a new position just for admissions/recruitment. Then Covid hit, and my new job is online course design! So we have just been through the wringer, and new interim director for old job just stepped down and another interim director was appointed. But even though I am still doing the admissions stuff for old department, I still report to new department only, which is a little confusing.

Regardless[ I LOVE the new director of the old job and I am seriously re-energized. I still feel like I am not doing enough for new job and I still feel overworked, but we communicate really well and have the same sense of humor. And she is able to focus on those problems so I don't have to be emotional support panda as much!

That's excellent news, Sophia!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Wow 200 in a house of 1 is some serious stockpiling. I’ve now got 34 and was feeling pretty prepper about it.
He's a little nutty. I told him to stop buying TP or he'll have nowhere to sleep.

We don't refer to it as hoarding. We call it the STPR (Strategic Toilet Paper Reserve). My husband is crazy But we've got over 100 rolls in the STPR for a family of four.

Aims, the porch! Adorbs!

Call back on the mammogram came back ok.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My right knee is hurting me a bit, and I don't know why. (Other than getting old, I guess)

I have 2 rolls for one person. I am terrible at this.

However, my nephew just came over to change my lightbulbs and rehand my smoke detectors before we go on lockdown. We were masked and distanced, but I literally am not tall enough to do these things.

Because books.

That's good news, Cash. About the mammo, I mean, although the TP is quite a score, too.

I’m glad the mammo follow up is ok, Cash.

Hmm, 200 rolls for a family of four; I'm a single person and I think I have maybe 20? I know I have most of a pack in the garage and 5 in my bathroom. So I think we're about equal.
