I know! I know!!

Been really busy with work. I was in the office more than I wanted to be. Except now I am home this week waiting on my own test results...due to exposure from two coworkers that both tested positive last week. Im relatively sure that I’ll be negative but you never know.

Just been tired and exhausted.

But I have some pics saved up, so I’ll post one this weekend.

I was expecting to read, "hey Sandy, where's the Sandy?"

Good to hear from you, particularly in your environment. Hope the test comes back negative; 2 weeks of feeling like toasted shit ain't fun.

Yeah, I wouldn't want Sandy, or anyone else, such as your wife, to actually get this disease.

I know everyone appreciates the front line employees in healthcare, but the behind the scenes finance,insurance and IT are getting their azzes kicked as well. Trying to figure all this chit out and it changes everyday.

Wishing you the best. Not to worry, I had an old coworker get it and live. He was out of work for a few weeks, and is back. Either way, I'm sure you will be fine, but still hoping for the negative result!

It's okay, Sandy. Take your time and do it when you are ready and have the time. We will be here ready to appreciate it when you do.

Don't forget the machinists and welders and other folks who actually MAKE the items needed

And the folks who serve the pipeline companies that keep the fuel rolling for the trucks and cars that get products and people where they need to go!

When you think about it, EVERY job is essential, because every job enables the worker to pay for the goods and services that make the world go round. If no one could afford the fuel to make the trucks and cars roll, then no one could access the health care, or purchase the machined goods.

This is what Fauci and Birx, and the rest, don't understand, or don't CARE to understand. They keep pushing to put the US into a depression, it's going to eventually have results they themselves will be effected by and aren't going to like. And we haven't even started to discuss the social unrest and rioting that would necessarily follow. I wonder how smug they would be with hordes of hungry, desperate people running wild in THEIR neighborhoods. Do they think their paid security guards will protect them when there's nothing to eat?
