Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm sorry, sj.
Toddson, that is a LOT.
I'm sorry, sj. I'm glad for him that he seems to be OK, but I know it's so hard. Love to you, TGC, and ltc.
Oh, I meant to say, we also got rid of our physical phones, the company phone system is all through Zoom. At least they are giving anyone who asks for it a headset. It does have some nice features - I apparently get any voicemails emailed to me which could come in handy. Today someone tried to call me while I was in a Google Meeting and I had to "dismiss" the call - if I'd been in a Zoom meeting it would have known I was unavailable and given the caller a message to that effect, supposedly. I haven't actually taken my cell phone number off my .sig file yet, but I did tell one customer to please call my direct line and not my cell. I turn the ringer off on my cell phone, well, most of the time because I forget to to turn it back on, but generally when I'm at work.
I used to have that at the BBC - not Zoom because this was 8+ years ago, but some other VOIP thing. The voicemail transcripts were in theory helpful but in practice merely HILARIOUS.
This sent me an attachment of some kind of sound file. I already deleted it because it was actually just 5 seconds of silence, so I can't go see what it is.
We never had phones at my old job and it would be *very* weird for me to go back to using one now. (You'd use your cell phone if you really needed to communicate via phone, which for me was exceedingly rarely) and they subsidized our cell phones.
These days I don't have a work phone # at all. My cell # is in the employee directory but nobody's ever used it for business purposes.
Timelies all!
Well, things went from bad to worse here. Mr. S would not go to sleep, and got very aggressive, throwing things at me and trashing his room. We finally ended up calling 911 and getting taken to a local hospital. They didn't have a psych ward for kids so we went back home after a while. Mr. S continued to act horribly. Gary called the pediatrician's helpline, and we ended up giving him his meds a little early. After eating half an apple, he fell asleep and slept until after noon. I hope tonight goes better.
In other news, I talked to the people at OMS about my exposure, and they said if I took a home test, and it was negative, I could go to work tomorrow. It was negative. Of course, I had taken Mon-Wed as vacation, so I'm back home then while Mr. S has spring break. At least Gary will be out of isolation by then, hopefully.
Oh, Sheryl. That sounds so hard.
