I’m so sorry for you and Tim.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

I'm so sorry, Teppy. Sending much love and wishes of comfort to you and Tim.
It's kind of bad - everything's supposed to be contactless (toilet flushing, water, soap dispenser) which is fine. When it works.
I'm thinking disposable hand wipes are in order, for the door handle too since a large percentage of the staff aren't going to bother with those sinks.
sj, I'm sorry to hear about your contractor. I hope the roof repair isn't urgent. Yay for new hand controls though. Congrats on taming the Bluetooth dragon.

And Vortex - yeah, that's kind of what it's like, only I'd show up on those sensors. Laura, since I'm usually the only woman in the office (if not the only one at all), I don't worry about other people not washing their hands - I'll grab a paper towel (which are full-contact so I can) and use that on the door handles. It's just the frustration. And annoyance. There's SUPPOSED to be a manual alternative but either they didn't install it in the women's rest room or I don't have the strength to get them to work. Honestly, if this is the case elsewhere, no wonder people don't wash their hands.
In better news, the IRS has decided that having people use facial recognition to access their records is not a good idea. This may be encouraging - it's a glimmer of intelligence in The Bureaucracy (not ours, which is chock full of smarts).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh Steph, I'm sorry.

Somehow scheduling a DNA test is falling on Mom. This seems wrong. If the mother of this other child wants to establish paternity she needs to schedule even if someone else ends up paying for it..
SJ I'm sorry about your contractor.
