"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

When I left my place to work this morning I found an anti-vax/anti-science flyer on my building's bulletin board. It followed by the realization that while political misinformation worries me, eugenic pseudo science claims make me see red. It took me over an hour to calm down, but I'm still angry.

(Edited to add that I took down the flyer, of course.)

Our wings are not tired.

I LOVE the new director of the old job and I am seriously re-energized.

What a difference good coworkers makes. This is great to hear.

We call it the STPR

I clearly need to up my game here. I might have 18. May have to harvest banana leaves or something.

Yay for good booby report!

Wow, they pay well! My gig was $180.

Mine was 190 plus 100 bonus and DH was 250 plus 100 bonus because he was in a tech role. The election board said they authorized the bonus as an incentive to keep Palm Beach County out of the news this year. We will never forgive ourselves for 2000.

VINDICATION

YES!

eugenic pseudo science claims make me see red

Right there with you. We have had a recent news report showing a poor nurse talking about patients fighting her that Covid is a hoax and it just is horrifying. I'm vaccine avoidant because I hate needles, but my arm is ready the moment real scientists tell me a vaccine is ready and safe.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sigh. Shir, I feel you. Except that political misinformation also makes me see red; it's just that antivaccine nonsense and Covid hoaxing make me see even redder.

Hooray for normal boobs!

We have 10 rolls in reserve right now, which seemed like a lot until I read this thread and now I'm nervous.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

So I accidentally ordered two cases of toilet paper a couple of months before all this started, and we were just about to send some to a food pantry before the lock down started. We just started getting low on them recently.

Call back on the mammogram came back ok.

Yay healthy boobies!

What a difference good coworkers makes. This is great to hear.

I had two more meetings with her, and we have already made more progress than I have in months. I like my actual boss for instructional design and she is so nice, but she did not also have time to be the director of continuing education, especial given COVID and the fact she is working on her doctoral thesis. She is also not quick and likes to included everyone and their brother in shared decision making, but my two coworkers actually work best with clear directives and will just perseverate on things forever, out loud, in a meeting. So that forced me into being a clear directive giving person, and I hate that role. Now I guess I have to deal with the fact I am not necessarily a good fit with my actual boss, but I think her style is more appropriate to the higher level instructional design team she is leading, where we all do contribute our thoughts and want to make shared decisions.

My current tally is 22 Charmin mega-rolls, which supposedly equals 88 regular rolls of TP. I don't foresee running through that until next year.

Thrive to spite them

I just ordered my toilet paper. Not that there is a shortage but I was limited to one package.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well, if any of y'all run out and can get to Cincinnati, my dad can hook you up. I think he might be trying to be the Immortan Joe of TP.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Immortan Joe of TP.

Ahahahaha!

Fb told me it was Tim’s bday, and I swear had he not changed his mind I was going to suggest that all the Buffistas who gave him friended bombard him with “Happy Birthday! Get tested!!” messages. So good thing he changed his mind.

I am going to Costco tomorrow and was already planning to buy TP.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I picked up a second 24-pack of TP the other day, and I had just opened a new one the other day, so I think I'm good.

Good on Tim for getting tested!
