Our wings are not tired.
On the good side, DH's high school is offering free covid testing up to twice a week for the students and staff. This is a big help for his team issues. Of course parental permission, which is easy enough for the players. On the bad side, seriously Florida, 1 million tests left to expired. Heaven forbid DeSantis lets people get tested then his numbers would go even higher,

Timelies all!
We got snow last night. Mr. S's school went virtual. I went to work as usual. No rest for the weary...

Today was our self eval deadline too. Ugh. But next week I have to do like seven actual reviews, which I’m looking forward to even less.
I did hear from my boss today (who also hadn’t finished doing his review) that he expects our bonus pool to be healthy this really. So that’s nice. It’ll be three months and a lot of arcane mathiness before any of that is real anyway.

We always get the email about how great the company is doing in the Q4 earning call, and then they turn around and talk about how the bonuses might not be funded at target. @@

Yeah, i think my company is spending all its mad money on hiring bonuses rather than retention….but fingers crossed. They usually tell us in March.

Omg. I tried to entertain my dog with tv. He found the chirping birds interesting for a while, and eventually ignored them. There were squirrels for a moment, and he perked up. But when the turkeys came? He flipped out, barked his head off, and didn’t shut up for like five minutes after I turned off the tv, he was convinced they must still be around somewhere! He’s still on guard duty at the window in case they come back. Who knew turkeys were his nemesis?.

Heh! Well, he does look like a chicken nugget.

My assistive living is closing the dining room for ten days (at least) so no social dining until the 17th. We're still going to have small-group program activities, and they're not required to stay in their rooms, either, the theory being that some social activities are way better for their (not just) mental health.
Everyone who can be is boostered, but we've had another staff member with breakthrough. BIG sigh.
