OT - NO POLITICS NOT home for the Holidays.................

[ODAAT]

My old lady works at a restaurant here and she said the middle of November is the worst part of the year for her restaurant statistically in the past 5 years, but then things pick up in December, but without Christmas parties, or small ones the pick up might not be what it was.

Good luck out there, pubs and restaurants are suffering, have had a few close up island.

yeah it`s tough sledding (no pun intended), November for us is usually as huge as December as more and more people in recent years were doing the office party thing much earlier and we have 1 room for private dining and a restaurant that easily accommodated larger groups. Speaking with our owner the other day, with all that is going on now, she figures this November/December alone she`ll be out between 200,000 and 250,000$ of revenue from the holiday season, that`s a helluva lot of money

Idk if anybody else watches this series but it’s hilarious and compelling. I think the DB Cooper one is the one that got me started on watching. Strong recommend for those with 20 min to kill

Their ghost hunting is the best.

Damn finding it hard to find any testing. Everything full or charging like $150. One place had an appointment 12/2/2020. Just was on the phone with my doctors office and theyre gonna call me tomorrow to screen me to see if I even need to be tested.

Damnit. My 14 year-old daughter whom has always taken it incredibly seriously and takes all the right precautions just tested positive today. She started feeling dizzy yesterday morning, complained that she couldn't go to her soccer game (she never misses) and now looks like a pale rendition of herself.
My wife will get her results tomorrow but with how she's been feeling today - she'll be positive also. Can already hear her breathing from too far away.

My 11 year-old and I are fine at the moment but odds are we'll get it also - we live in a small house were self-isolation isn't a possibility and will be quarantining. Neither me nor the little one have been tested yet.

Fingers crossed. Considering we live in one of the places that has dealt with it well and that we've taken it seriously - ugh.

Hope all goes well. Scary times.

With all my family and people I know hating on me moving to Montana. This time next year I hope to be living in my 2nd choice of Louisiana.

 

[RoccoF14]

Louisiana is your second choice? Really?

Have you ever been there? In the summer?

Speedometer quit on the 64 today. Hoping it’s just a snapped cable. I need to add a couple teeth to the transmission anyway cuz the speedo was reading fast, but if the speedo housing itself is toast then I’m gonna be out a few hundred bucks instead of 20.

and the black n blue filet mignon i made for myself late last night has been destroying me for the last 24 hours.

Happy Tuesday.

My back picked a great time to throw itself out of whack.


I feel like this:

Apparently there was a tornado near Arlington TX tonight. And predictably, people on social media started berating the local weather people for daring to interrupt the rose ceremony on the Bachelorette to warn people about the tornado.

I didn't even know that show was still a thing.

The downside of working from home is that there is no early close at 1pm... Going to be a very long day

It is still a thing and it is even worse than it was when it started.

This type of complaining happens all the time and it is pathetic. James Spann has ripped people like that on Facebook, Twitter and on air before. He is in Tuscaloosa/Birmingham AL. I could watch his coverage on Youtube all day.

He is seriously the Harvey Leonard of Alabama

We're in the office, and usually they let us go home "early".... Except for our powers that be, that means about 15-20 minutes

But they haven't said anything about early dismissal this year. No idea why not. Maybe they'll let us go at lunchtime. But I won't hold my breath...

 

[Troublesome 85]

As I sit in the bathroom I’m thinking I don’t want to go into work.

however if I don’t go in today I don’t get paid tomorrow

I'm WFH, as is 80 percent of my agency, and we still get early release. Perks of being a state worker, if they let one go, they have to let all go. The commute from my desk to my couch will have less traffic today.

Saw something called "Pandemic Fatigue" online and I believe thats what myself and my coworkers are feeling. People who were once full of energy, smiling and working hard are now burnt out.

I even went from being up, motivated to go to work and full of energy to waking up still exhausted and not wanting to deal with the bullshit at work

It is wishful thinking only because I did all my work since we are off on Friday.

Oh no!! I hope you feel better soon, back trouble is the absolute pits

I am beginning to think that all social media needs to be abolished. It's just poisonous.

Thanks. Yes, it is.

As boss I have exercised my right to close early every day and to close completely tomorrow and Friday, since I didn't get any time off other than national holidays this year (insurance is an essential business in CT and I remained open all through the lockdown just no in person contact w/clients). I'm definitely feeling burn out as I am making stupid errors (fortunately catching & correcting them in time) and in general am just tired of dealing with everything.
