So with the chaos - I've been without my Wellbutrin. I've been so... bleh. I thought maybe I was cycling down into depression.. and then realized it's more that I'm completely unfocused versus wanting to die.

Picked up that refill right quick, yo.

@TNP he's trying to step it up until people take it seriously. He could be trying to order everyone to shelter in place - and that would likely cause real panic and chaos.

Still waiting on the code I need for the app to get my tokens to log in every day.

Got a nastygram email from the team twat about how my enrollments this morning hadn't been checked ... I replied "Well, since I can't log into the system, I won't be checking them until I get in."

Bleh.

My apartment complex has the maint. workers helping the lady who cleans the public spaces with cleaning/sanitizing the laundry rooms. As for maint. calls, only true emergencies will be seen to for the 'time being'.

@Auspice Yes. I have it a couple times a year, generally after I've been sick.

As for work - I went into the office because my boss hadn't gotten the email... only to have the email and have to forward it to him and be sent home.

Sweet baby cheez-its.

So my county is in state of emergency, and they can not seem to decide if we're working from home or not. I was supposed to know by the end of business Tuesday, but it seems not.

Like @RightMeow - I have autoimmunes - and am on a chemo drug which leaves me super vulnerable. I've been TRYING to get word so I could be set up to work from home. Been doing everything I can to make sure when/if they let it happen, it's all super quick and smooth.

Just so frustrated and afraid, because my lungs are not the best to begin with, and that's my big phobia - the idea of suffocation. I know WHY I have the phobia, but that doesn't stop it. So the pneumonia sort of part of things... big fear.

Why can't my bosses get their heads out of their collective ass?

My county has gone to state of emergency. I work in a county office, though I am a contractor to the federal level. I have NO IDEA what is going to happen tomorrow.

"Well, you're not a permanent employee of the company yet, so they probably won't let you work from home, even if the county office goes to skeleton crew." - even though there are only two on my team, and I'm the one that is immuno-compromised. My co-worker WANTS to be the one to stay in the office, as the younger and healthier of the two, and to not be stuck home with his tween daughter all day.

Had a panic attack this morning about a possible spine injection for another condition. So my anxiety and everything was on high today and it totally threw my ADD into high gear. I couldn't focus long enough to eat lunch.

My boss and I were discussing this today. We don't have any confirmed cases in our county yet, but we have them in the next town over, and we all know people don't isolate themselves.

He's terrified I am going to catch it, as one of the 'compromised'. He thinks it might kill me, after seeing how bronchitis took over my body from a simple cold.

@peasoupling Right there. Yep.

@GreenFlashlight Fully Agree. My dog would totally up morale in my office.

Puppy play time. It's just the best.

@Rinel More worried about my sisters than my stepmom. They're a nurse and a teacher, so I feel their chances are higher to catch it. And one has a 4 month old.

@tangent You are so not alone.

Dear Boss, while I generally think you're awesome, today you're being a dumbass. I have only ever done one case even a little similar to this and my coworker who is supposed to be my obi wan isn't here. So of course I did my best and did it the way I did the one sort of similar case. Wtf was I supposed to do, with the client in front of my face ?

They have accepted my counter counter offer, as emotional damages so that they are not taxed like wages. Here is hoping we get this done asap

Opposing counsel came back with a super low ball offer - wouldn't even cover lost wages. I told my lawyer haha no. Now they've just pissed me off.

Fuck you, IRS. I made LESS than last year, but you want me to pay you? Suck my spirit Dick.

@Ganymede I will be okay with that.
