Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's been warm (40s, 50s) and rainy here, but today it's just cold (20s) and cloudy but dry. Back to the WFH grind -- we've been told to WFH at least through the University's winter break, but we'll see. The last time they sent us home, it was for a two-week trial, ha ha ha sob.

Our brand-new mayor is also keeping the schools open, and he also stated that we can beat COVID-19 because we have SWAGGER.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

we can beat COVID-19 because we have SWAGGER.

It's weird that there's no PCR test to measure levels of SWAGGER. Because that would be really helpful.

I have mixed feelings about the schools being open, because that's where so many kids are getting fed these days. No mixed feelings about the swagger statement; that's just stupid.

We've shoveled, sledded and sat in front of the TV. Soon we're going to a bonfire with cocoa.

A bonfire with cocoa sounds excellent! Hmm, maybe I'll make some cocoa later...

That must be a comfort, Tom.

I am seriously considering taking a full week off for the high holidays this year and again for Hanukkah because the timing is pretty convenient for both and I appear to have a ton of PTO to be accrued by then. I should have around 6 months of sick time but I can't figure out how to leverage that to my benefit.

No snow or rain but it is pretty darn cold, at least by local standards. I haven't looked at the temperature but my toes feel pretty icy and the cat is sticking close to my warmth.

Oh, my company gave us EOY/Xmas gifts which were a fleece blanket and a reusable water bottle with the company name/logo on them. For some reason this is hilarious to me. Such curl-up-on-the-couch items to get from work. But I'm certainly using them.

That should work, sure.

If you look on the Swagger website, there's no mention of anything that will help with JIRA issue COVID-19.

Undocumented feature?

Maybe, the documentation isn't great.
