Given the conditions you've been working under the past year and a half, I don't blame you, Todd.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Given how they have shafted you in many ways, Toddson, I'm gonna say NOT a bad person and that equipment was appropriately prioritized (by you) to support the person who has been in the office this whole time.
In other news, the wifi adapter that I ordered fixed my desktop connectivity issues, so now I really do need to call Comcast and cancel my service and I am not looking forward to that onerous task.

"the businesses with signs like “no mask needed if you’re vaccinated and we aren’t checking we trust you!”
We went to the zoo on Sunday morning for A Big Thing, and the number of people wandering around unmasked was unsettling. We were fully masked, because yeah we're vaccinated, but we don't trust random people of the public.
I now find zombie fiction wherein people pull together and look out for everyone to be laughably quaint.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What shrift said. Also, your secret is safe with us.
Good luck cancelling the castle, shrift!
Current reorg is going slowly and sometimes apparently backwards, so that's fun. One more meeting today...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Work secrets are safe here. Heck, I’ve got the government website for jobs open. Two tabs because there are two jobs I would consider.
And I’m like “trust?!? That is so long gone….I have no trust in the American public to do anything good or necessary or right!”
It me.

Right? For the good of humanity? Cute. Avoid the plague? We don’t do that here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Almost no one is wearing masks here anymore, and yeah, our cases look to be ticking up. So that's nice.

We're going to be back in the office for 1-2 days a week starting next month. Unless the Delta variant really ramps things up in the area. Where that office will be, physically, no one really knows. I should probably swing by the current office and get personal items out in case it turns out that the office will be some place different.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
We have tourists and most of them seem to be going without masks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not even going to bother checking stats for my county and state. If I had to guess, the county is higher than the state, but not near the national average.
Though in good news, husband got the test results back and he does not have covid. Which I knew all along was overwhelmingly likely, but once I was stressed about it, then the brain would not let go.

I'm glad he got tested, Dana!
I just looked into testing before I fly home and it looks like my doctor's office isn't doing them anymore, and since I'm not symptomatic, I'd have to go to a location farther away pending availability or go to an urgent care and have them bill my insurance.
