I don’t really like the Amazon delivery service. I prefer to have packages delivered to my office and their delivery service means they frequently deliver after business hours (sometimes after 8PM) which means the office isn’t open.

My godmother was very into ceramics in the ‘80s and one year she made a 3 foot tall ceramic light-up tree for my parents for Christmas. When I bought my first house, my mom gifted it to me. Now it sits in the basement because I cannot risk putting it up while I’ve got an overexcited dog who barks at everyone that…

The google search I did said the crew was wearing masks and not social distancing and I don’t know why you’re incredibly rude to me?

Apparently the crew members were wearing masks. They were violating social distancing protocol by standing closer than six feet.

I miss sushi & burgers and fries. Neither of those are the same outside a restaurant.

I’m so sorry about your mom. 

Just curious if you happen to know how long it takes to get reimbursed? My partner is fortunate enough to not live paycheck to paycheck, but he still hasn’t received the paid leave even though he submitted over a month ago.

When I was talking to HR about the situation, I was near tears with gratitude because of how (comparatively) generous the company was. Previously, I naively thought just about every employer would do that, if it was a fairly large company. I couldn’t believe my partner’s employer wasn’t paying him.

My cousin had a birthday party for her toddler daughter in early March. We discussed how we were concerned about COVID-19 and my cousin and I said we were worried about our moms (both are cancer survivors). My aunt and mom laughed, and we all hugged good-bye.

According to his employer, you may get 2/3 of your wages reimbursed from the federal gov’t. if caring for a sick relative. He applied for that while we were in quarantine over a month ago. He still hasn’t received anything.

This makes me so angry. My employer is going above and beyond, in that we’re getting fully paid for quarantine while we

In this case, the common denominator is ‘binge drinking’ or ‘alcoholism.’ 

As a fellow person in recovery, wishing all the best to John Mulaney. Struggling in the pandemic is hard, as it is so isolating. A good support system (which it sounds like he has) is super helpful. Being sober is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but it is totally worth it. 

LOL @ 20 somethings. Where I live, it’s Gen-xers and boomers that are heading to the neighboring state’s open bars and restaurants. My Millennial cousins are staying home.

What with the people in power having easier access to Remdisivir and vaccines, not much is likely to change regarding their behavior.

I don’t know how they became fashionable. They’re not as bad on women as they are on men, however.

This is a bit reminiscent of Jo from Facts of Life.

This is crazy! I have “good” insurance, which amounts to $5872/year. But my deductible is only $500 for me. My OOP maximum is the same as yours. Of course, our insurance costs are rated by salary, which makes a huge difference.

I’m a huge Eddie Izzard fan, I love this news! I knew that she was trans, but did not know her pronouns. 

I felt like I was no longer living, I was existing for the purpose of a corporations gain and ratings, and that killed me.
