And thank you for the elaboration!  :)  

Management is doing a great job, honestly—our restrictions are actually more stringent than the state we’re in, which I appreciate. The majority of cases are coming from external sources, which doesn’t surprise me at all. To quote one fellow regarding Thanksgiving: “It’s my d*mn house and I’ll have over whoever I…

You’re right. Not to mention that back in the beginning, it was more of this abstract idea from another place, people felt like and acted as if they didn’t have to worry. And as you say, everyone now is tired. But to get better, we have to be better.  Sigh.

OT:  47 cases at work last month.  25 this month so far; 7 new as of yesterday, and one of those active on site--thankfully, not on my close contact log.  This honestly feels worse than March did.

OT:  As anticipated, post-Thanksgiving we have more restrictions in place at work--can’t say I’m sorry.  Of course, I’ve got a trainwreck of a meeting that I’m currently working on where there POC wants to get the exception of 25, and the PM prefers to stick to the limit of 10.  Honestly, I prefer his way of…

That’s just not on.  Might be worth passing that on to someone higher up the chain.  Do hope you recover your hearing, soonest!

It is hard.  I’m in the position of having so much leave I donated a bunch, am losing more--and had to explain to my boss why, so I don’t get negative documentation for poor time management or lack of work/life balance.  But if I take off, they send someone in to physically cover my post, and most of my co-workers…

The old “How’s it Going?” threads were folded into the Morning Music posts around the time that they started, with Alexandra’s blessing.  :)

I remember the one with the name being called out.  Good memory!  I hadn’t thought of that in years.

It’s 2020.

Glad kitty’s all right, hope the scratches on you heal up soon!

I’m sorry for your loss.

Our governor is speaking again today at 1600.  They seem to be doing whatever possible to avoid another lockdown, but we’re not remotely near flattening the curve, so who knows what this will bring.  Expecting another update at work already, so this will no doubt impact it.  We may scale back to Phase 1 even if the…

I’m glad you made it through that all right!

i feel like there was one in this game where this couple couldn’t have sex unless i burned down their house but it could’ve been horizon zero dawn.

It’s a balancing act: the need to stay physically safe, but also have mental and emotional well-being. I know some folks are worried about missing “lasts”, too, especially in the case of those who aren’t tech-savvy. (Also, sorry about the conspiracy theory bit; good on you for heading it off.)

Turns out we share a border. We need another shutdown the way people have been acting, but I don’t know that we can afford one. What we’re doing currently feels like the last gasp effort to keep that from happening, give people a chance to get their acts together and do what needs to be done. I’m sceptical, to say the…

I’m so sorry.  Praying for you & your family.

You literally could have written this about me.
