Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I maybe should get tested, but the lines at the in-person sites are really long - several blocks with social distancing.

I've invoking the Unclean protocols on myself. Either this is and I don't want to expose people while I wait to test or it ins't and I don't want to be exposed while I wait to test. I'm isolated anyways. Omicron, sinus infection, blah and who can say.

God this country is a shitshow in places. I really hope we rise above eventually. At some point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will say, the several-blocks-long line I waited in last week only took an hour to get through, and I felt fine being outside for the vast majority of it with pretty much everyone in a mask.

But yes, everything is a shitshow. I'm especially sorry for you on the front lines of it, msbelle and Sophia!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Well I got through about 40 of the religious waivers. So now I’m going to bed and will go into the office tomorrow to set up a computer for a new employee that does not have any work, but if I can get him access to emails I can basically use him as an intern until his job duties start.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I really did not want to get out of bed this morning. But I did.

I got out of bed this morning because I wanted to watch Boba Fett before I got spoiled. But then I wanted to go back to bed.

I also wanted to go back to bed.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was positive the time on my clock was wrong when I woke up today. (SPOILER: it wasn't.)

Well, now I want to watch Boba Fett. Not reading what other people are saying about it is getting to be challenging.

An I can't get to my ERP - this time it seems to be a me-problem not a company-wide-problem but it's making it pretty hard to work.

Ha! Posting about it fixed it! Complaining about it to my coworkers did not. Some kind of lesson there, I'm sure.
