Our stupid contractors don’t wanna wear masks cuz they are uncomfortable guys. Cry me a river. My four year old can do it. So can you.

I had one contractor who refused to wear a mask at my cannery after my employees arrived on site and that was the last time he did any work for me (it was the last day on the current job but there most definitely won’t be a future job with him). I just don’t get that BS.

I just don’t get that BS. They were not adequately last week (only in our basement) and then one was exposed and so they didn’t come the rest of the week. Turns out he didn’t get tested and just waited it out and they were just gonna show up tomorrow (day 11). We had called for an update. He was very meh. Thankfully it is the basement so we said yes masks and that when we talk it will be outside. And we brought all our outdoor stuff up so we can not even go thru that room to come and go. Of course it feels awkward cuz they (it’s just two guys) have done tons of work for my parents to the point they are friends. I’m just annoyed. Every week without this room in our house is hard. Luckily we can essentially seal off that part of the house since I’ve lost any trust we had that they are taking precautions.

MH left both kids' suitcases at the new house, where we will not be for 3 wks, full of all their important bedtime things, pillows, and clothes. Because he "didn't know they had suitcases", despite a) they ALWAYS have suitcases b) him loading them into the truck when we left our current house c) him unloading them from the truck to the new house and d) him getting after J earlier today (TODAY) when J was pushing said suitcases around on the hardwood floors.
WTF MAN.

But I hope this story ends with you presenting a really clear, "you guys are really good workers and seem really kind to my parents and thanks for the work, but... WTF" and then they'll hang their heads in shame.

I'm about to cry watching Biden's speech. We should be celebrating Ossoff's win, not watching this horror show unfold

I was working and looked over at the broadcast as people fled.
WTF
I have not gotten a single thing done. And we've been explaining to the kids how this is not how democracy works.
I will be opening a bottle of wine after we pick up F.

You guys are like my main contacts with the outside world outside of work. And maybe two other people who I also either texted or live with lol.

MH was distance teaching upstairs when his phone started blowing up near me in the kitchen. I looked at it and was in disbelief. His friend who's the psychology teacher was letting him know the irony that he taught about mob theory this morning 😬

My mom just sent me a couple of horrifying pro-Trump videos and I called her out on it and just feel sick. I didn't even watch the videos, I made my sister check them out and give me a report on them but they were apparently as bad as I imagined. Democrats are evil and the country is going to shut down, blah blah. So they still support 45 even after last week's events. I feel sick and don't know what to do. I told her my thoughts and said if they still supported him after all that has gone on then I have to re-evaluate what our relationship is going to look like moving forward, if we have one at all. I have the shakes and that hot lava feeling in my stomach and could just throw up. WTF. How do I share genes with these people?

Our county announced that school will be remote for the rest of the school year. M is actually at a charter, but they usually stay consistent with what the county does. Ugh.

milano, I’m sorry, that really sucks. I’m not sure what my Trump supporting FIL thinks of him after last week, I think J may be too scared to ask.

I was too scared to bring it up but was hopeful that they would be appalled, since they are such Good Christian People and strive to be Christ-Like in their daily lives. Obviously I was wrong. *I have nothing against Christians, for the record. Just hypocrites.
