Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yay no cancer!
Well, I found out that my coworker who has Covid is not being counted in the official count of faculty who have Covid. Her test result form didn't have her date of birth on it, and so they wouldn't record it. The form was from the university testing facility. The number of students being reported doesn't even remotely line up with the number of students that all of us are hearing from, telling us that they tested positive and have to quarantine. These numbers are such bullshit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I feel like I should not be surprised by that, Hil, but I am flabbergasted

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yay Pix!
Hil, I think the University systems are just breaking under this weight. It is really frustrating. We in instructional design are getting pushback from IT about the labor involved in recording lectures for students in quarantine. Which I understand, because everyone is just tired from showing up and going above and beyond our job descriptions. By the time we get the “accommodation” for quarantine approved, it will be beyond the time frame for the lecture to be recorded, because it will hav happened in the past. I am just amazed at the number of times I am suggesting time machine as a solution.

Thrive to spite them
YAY no Cancer
Boooo not recording Covid cases correctly.
Coffee is gross. I will continue to love my Diet Coke and iced tea.
The vending guy who comes started putting only 1 row of diet cokes in the machine (we now have 1 machine with all the drinks instead of a separate Pepsi and Coke machine), I stopped him Monday and asked why he swtiched from 2 rows to 1 and he said we weren't buying enough. So now the one row goes empty before he can fill it up. He also doesn't turn the drinks front facing so there are some new ones no one is sure what they are since we can't see.
And he put 1 Viatmin Water in front of lemon lime gatorade and people want the lemon lime gatorade but no one wants to buy the Vitamin water to get to them. And someone asked him to take out the Vitamin water and he forgot.

Our wings are not tired.
These numbers are such bullshit.
Florida has been screwing with the numbers since day one. They won't count anyone who is a snowbird, and of course, since they contracted it and were treated for it in Florida the states (or countries) they are from aren't going to count them either. They had some crazy justification for not counting residents of care facilities too, but I think they changed that after pushback.
We know that the numbers are understated, but the wackadoodles swear that it is massively overstated or just not true at all. At this point I am holding on to the hope that the mid-terms will be helped by the fact that the death count is so much higher among the people I don't want to vote. Yes, I unashamedly think they asked for it. Karma, idiots.
DH agreed to stop near the VA/NC border and sleep in a hotel. He debated driving through and just catching naps here and there along the way, but good sense won out. I slept better too!
