House~ma, Zmahems!

sj, I'm sorry to hear about the severe COVID problems for people in your life.

Thanks for the feedback on the stay-interviews. I'll probably be a bit guarded, but let some level of honesty through. Not "here are my 12 google alerts for jobs in MI in my fields" level of honest.

Sound strategy!

Calli, would your current job be do-able remotely? Or would it be “you can do it from home but for logistical/admin/tax reasons we can’t have you live in another state” kind of thing?

Just wanted to mention that it's Robert Burns' birthday. I ran across this comment on him:

It’s the birthday of Scotland’s most famous poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796). In his short life, Burns sired twelve offspring, some of them legitimate; and he wrote hundreds of poems and song lyrics, some of them suitable for polite company. When Scottish Television polled its viewers in 2009 on the question of who was the greatest Scot of all time, Robert Burns was the winner (William Wallace was the runner-up).

Ughh. I just had to narc on a colleague who sits across the aisle from me. He's not wearing a mask, and has been coughing all day.

Ugh, indeed. I'm really glad I work remotely.

I've been training a new MA at one of my practices and she has called countless times, mostly because she is just not getting it at all. I already was at a high level of annoyance with her, then she started on the mask wearing and how she really never wore one anywhere before going to work at this medical office and she never got sick. I shut down that immediately by telling her I wore mine all the damn time when I have no choice but to be out and about because I know too many people, including MAs who died. No doubt the office manager will ask me my opinion of her since I have been helping more with training as they are so short staffed. I won't hold back my opinion. Why, oh why, oh why?

I found it ironic that when I was on the Metro with a bunch of people - mostly young - with their "pro-life" shirts, signs, etc., none of them were wearing masks.

UGGGHHHH x3

Timelies all!

I agree with the ughs on the unmasked people.

Here's hoping Tim's second bout is mild and short-lived, Steph.

That row house is really cute, David. Good luck with the offer!
