Ugh, I just found out a friend of mine was admitted to a hospital with COVID in late November and put on a ventilator. They were able to get him off the vent but he got a tracheotomy and he's been in a coma since then. He's already survived brain tumors and surgery (several years back) which is complicating his condition. After three weeks on a ventilator and a coma it's really unlikely he's going to come back.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Yeah, one time the mouse was spotted and ran into the office with the food drawer ... I think he ended up throwing out anything that wasn't tightly packaged (the mouse in this instance made its escape without being captured).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sorry about your friend, David. That's rough news to get.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh no, David, I am so sorry.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
David, that's so awful. This fucking year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, David, I'm sorry.
In my mind I am still a kid and I am really miffed that I am expected to work on a snow day. I am doing the very least. I am keeping with with emails and I got in my morning report. Somehow messing around online seems ok, but doing Christmas cards does not.
Same re: working on a snow day. And the messing around online would fly in the office in a way cards would not.

Jesse, my new office has little to no internet access for personal stuff. I have to do stuff on my phone LIKE AN ANIMAL!
