So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

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.

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

Oh, Sheryl. That sounds so hard.

I'm so sorry about all of that, Sheryl.

Today my whole department is WFH, my new supervisor is out sick, my old supervisor is on vacation, two other managers in the department are out of the office and our VP is working from home all week (with a week-old baby, I guess he is taking next week off? IDK but this is their 7th kid so presumably he knows what he is doing with this scheduling). I ran out of stuff that needs to be done this week yesterday afternoon (spent a good couple of hours cleaning out my paper files, rearranging my desk, and wiping down surfaces). My plan for the day is to monitor emails, do some yard work in the morning before it gets too hot, and knock off early to see a movie, either Everything Everywhere All At Once or The Batman.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Talked to my doctor's office today, and it is mandatory drug testing twice a year and randomly whenever. So I guess I'm changing psychs.
