Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Negative test results for both me and Mr. S. He went to school today.

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

Our wings are not tired.
That is a relief! Too many positives out there.

Thrive to spite them
So found out that M's brother's best friends have covid, and their daughter has it. And someone who works in the building next to M's brother has it. I guess they've had it for a week. M's mom normally goes out to dinner with them on Fridays and with them to church on Sundays but she's not going to.

Today is the birthday of the most lovely Windsparrow. I know her days are so filled these days, but I hope she feels our warm wishes for a love filled day.
Too many people with Covid now. I should go to a funeral today. My BIL's MIL. Dear woman had health issues to begin with, including serious dementia. She got Covid early on and had a too long period of deterioration. She was such a hard working warm hearted immigrant from Haiti and it breaks my heart that she never got to enjoy her retirement years. I know most people there will be vaccinated, but between any effort at all being an effort, and so many people close together inside. I think I may have to just let DH go alone. Again. Also, I didn't know that FEMA was distributing funeral checks for Covid deaths. Huh.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
trouble getting motivated to do anything. I'm feeing really unsettled the last couple of days.
I'm going to try and jumpstart things with a shower.
Anyone feel like an accountability text group or zoom today?

Maybe ask her ideas about that?
We finished our review period last week. Apparently there is a function in the system where you can tag people and ask for direct feedback. I only know of one person who used it and the person she tagged was super weirded out by it. (Her feedback wouldn’t have been all that positive, which is part of it.) I do ask around for feedback on my team but not in any way that assigns someone a task or puts them on the spot.
We don’t see the results of the reviews now until mid March. The ways of HR are mysterious and confuzzling.

I’m so sorry Laura. I selfishly hope you don’t go though. It’s so hard these days.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I had to look back to make sure this wasn’t me! A job opened up at the University which I am very well qualified for (probably the best internal candidate), but it is 100 percent supporting a program I am good at, but actually hate.
