I didn’t. She was aggressive and seemed pissed so I just complied to avoid an issue. Had I known beforehand I would have just turned my screen brightness down and she would have been none the wiser. I had it framed where all the camera could see was me anyway, so it’s pretty obnoxious to have a problem but it is what it is.
Is the whole “masks don’t work” bullshit just stemming from the fact that a medical device company can’t legally market their cheap face masks as being able to prevent coronavirus infection, but they obviously actually do fucking work to some degree, and people are just taking advantage of carefully worded language to push a bunch of nonsense.
I have a potentially interesting situation tomorrow. A guy is coming to drop of a CPM machine that I will need to use to help my leg recover after surgery. Same guy who was here in February, nice enough but I could definitely seem him being a deplorable based solely on stereotypes.
I asked him if he needed to come inside to fit the device again or if he could just leave it for me to adjust. He said he needed to come in. I replied “Ok no problem. We just ask to please wear a mask as we are still quarantined due to being on immunosuppressant medications. See you tomorrow and thanks again for the help.”
No response yet a few hours later. I’m almost expecting him to show up with no mask and act offended when I say he can’t come inside.
Definitely hoping I dont have actively have it. Had to get tested to get cleared for surgery on Monday, so a positive result means I have to postpone the procedure.
Very unlikely to have it as I’ve been pretty strictly locked down since early March.
Following up on [Boss’s boss’s boss’s boss]’s note, I have confirmed with [Boss’s boss’s boss] that [Boss’s boss’s boss’s boss]'s message is that all staff are encouraged to take tomorrow as a day of reflection. The day does not need to be recorded as a vacation day. I know many of us are working with fiscal year-end deadlines but I would like for everyone to be able to have this time to reflect in whatever manner they are comfortable.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to [Boss’s boss’s boss’s boss], [Boss’s boss’s boss] and/or me [Boss’s boss] directly. [Boss’s boss’s boss’s secretary I think] will be cancelling our team check-in meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow.
Thanks,
[Boss’s boss]
Forwarded from my boss. Woo hoo, a day of reflection tomorrow. Suck it losers who have to push that grindstone all day!
Edit: Apparently it’s a California thing. I’m gonna take the 405 to the 110 to the 91 to the 605 to the 210 to go hiking. Might take the 210 to the 710 to the 60 to the 110 to the 105 to the 405 on the way back - if I’m feeling sassy,
Today is drawing live to be the most cases since May 1.
July is gonna be rough all over, but especially in the south. TX/FL get all the attention because of their large populations, but Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, and North Carolina are all looking rough.
This week has been way worse I was expecting–I was thinking it would be a mixed week, with bad news but maybe also some good news. There hasn’t been any good news.
