Friday is finally here. Woo hoo!!! The work day can't come to an end fast enough. I've done enough "peopling" this week to last me 'til the end of Summer. Blech.

Eff off to:

  • Insomnia. That damn hamster in my mind was on the wheel All Night Long. And he had a party. 
     
  • People who cannot read past the first sentence of an email.... then email me asking questions that were addressed in the email. Gaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! I want to reach through the computer and smack you on the back of your fat head.
     
  • Panicky nitwits who have to buy everything in sight because The End Is Near! You KNOW you are buying too much. You KNOW you are causing those with limited funds and limited transport to go without because you're a selfish arsehole. As for those who are buying with the intention of making a profit? May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your nether regions. 
     
  • BioHo. DH put the kibosh on all inhabitants of the 'Ho House quarantining at our house. SS17 said he would still come (and he is welcome). 'Ho overheard the young fool on the phone with a buddy and called DH to screech that she would come in and get SS17 and drag him home "where he belongs". 'Ho was clever and called from SS17's phone, so DH answered. On speakerphone, as usual. I was awake, sitting right next to him, and heard it all. Before DH could say anything, Evil Aniki escaped her cage and said, "If you put so much as one toe across my threshold, I will b!tchslap you so hard, your shoes will be out of style when you get back." DH said, "She'll damn well do it and I'll damn well let her. F*ck off." ~click~
    Lord, I love that man.

 

So help me, if I run out of coffee during this reign of chaos, I'll lose my mind. 
Hope you have an enjoyable weekend. Be well and stay safe. Tarvitsen lisää kahvia...

Eff off to THE VIRUS.

Schools in my area have closed. Most daycares in my area have closed (including the one my son attends).

I do have work from home capability and I will be....for a little bit. However, my boss's daycare has not and she has suggested I think about switching to the daycare SHE uses, which is close to the office (and her house). It is about 35 miles from my house. 

My son has been at the same daycare since he was 8mo old, now 3.5yrs. It is an at home daycare that is 6 minutes from my housr. He is one of 4 kids there (3 families including mine). She uses a daycare center, LOTS of kids. I'm not really comfortable with that, particularly now - but she thinks everything is being over exaggerated.  And, $70 more per week. Annualized that is almost $3700 more per year. I really can not bear that extra expense long term. 

So... Eff off to the virus and to my boss.

Is she going to raise your salary the extra $3,700?

Your hubby is goals.

 

Eff off to:

  • Last minute company meetings...
  • Apparently the state isn't even testing for the corona virus.  Had a coworker go to get tested yesterday they just sent him home and siad it's "probalby nothing" He came in today, had sweats and everything...  Ended up leaving while looking like s***.  Have another coworker with a wife in the medical field... They don't actually have corona virus tests yet... So basically, we've decided ignorance is bliss.
  • No longer getting 2 paid weeks off if we're quarantined... INSTEAD we're supposed to work from home if we go under quarantine.

Ugh! I went to the bathroom, heard someone coughing like a lunger, and walked right back out.

Eff off to being told we need to work from home for at least the next 2 weeks, possibly up to a month. My home is my sanctuary! I leave work at work and don't want the two overlapping!!! Stop

Hola Aniki!

*Eff off to having to cancel my cruise and my girls trip that I had coming up because of this F@#$% virus!

*Eff off to trying to contact the airlines to cancel/reschedule or hopefully get a refund for my trips but they are overwhelmed with calls.

*Eff off to people who cough and don't cover their d@mn mouth  Dash 1

Good news on my end is that I get to work from home and don't have to deal with the commute in NYC Biggrin

Tenga un gran fin de semana amiga!!

Hola Siempre!

That SUCKS! So sorry you have to cancel. Hope you can get full refunds. Sad

I just walked out of the bathroom BEFORE using the facilities because a woman in there was hacking up both lungs.

Pulling out the ENVY card and wearing it on my forehead! It would be AWESOME if I had that option, but that is allowed for a select few. Dammitall.

Muchas gracias! Espero el mismo para ti!!!

I have a great group of employees, but there are a couple of drama queens stirring up trouble over CV-19. Spring break for students has been extended, and then my U is going to online classes. But no change in work situation for staff.

Eff off to grownups who moan "not fair."

STAY HOME if you are sick or if you child is sick. If you need to telecommute and your job is such that it can be done from home, let's talk about it before you start bitching, It's not my fault that you burn through your generous leave the second you earn it and now there isn't anything left, and no, I'm not going to give you basket weaving tasks because you can't manage to plan. And also no, I'm not going to make a speshul exception to university policy with a wink and a pinky swear. Just go be a grownup.

F off to the nurse who came into work last night and today after vacationing in a high risk Covid-19 country.   Instead of self isolating, she came in... someone who definitely knows better. 

We all now have to have our temperature taken and logged every day. 

Also guess who was called upon to clean the room said nurse was kept in for I don't know how long?   Yep, me and the other housekeeper on shift.
