We just had our remote open house before school starts on Wednesday. They have what sounds like good plans in place and alternatives for learning areas to keep kids spread out (a couple outdoor options as weather permits).
I feel less panicky about sending him. They are not holding firm on the district's July 31 cut off for opting to remote learning- they are allowing changes as needed.

I am eye rolling that the SEC is refusing to cancel and trying to get others to join them. Those fuckers are in the worst damn spots. Like what. The SEC is an abomination and no one there even pretends to care about the players. They are disposable to them.

The SEC is an abomination and no one there even pretends to care about the players. They are disposable to them. It's all about $$$ and that's why our president voted the way he did. So many FB comments about being pissed at the season being cancelled "for the players". Bitch please.

BIL thinks they'll only change their minds so they don't look bad compared to everyone else. Hey, man. I'm all for shaming if it gets (or in this case doesn't get) the job done.

We got a little bit more info about what the day to day learning will look like, but it's still sort of confusing. In choosing the virtual option, it was emphasized that kids could work at their own pace and at any point in the day. But they are also saying that there will be 3 mandatory class or small group meetings per subject per week. So is it not so self-led or what?
I'm super visual, I need a mock schedule or something to make sense of all of this.

CA Director of Public Health resigned this weekend with no notice and no reason given - she started her position in October. I also started a brand new position in October and it has been a doozy of a year for a learning curve. I cannot imagine the amount of pressure being placed on our Public Health officials right now.

I'm very impressed with all of y'all. That sounds light, but I mean it very sincerely. Creating desks and workspaces and lesson plans and etc. Badass. You’re one of my favorite posters. You always give so much affirmation and I see you passing around likes like candy.

My niece had her first full day of middle school (6th grade) today and it went pretty well. My sister set alarms on her phone for every class period so she knows to log on to that class.
We picked up DD1's (incoming K) Chromebook and workbooks and her teacher emailed me the schedule this morning. She added in 15 minute breaks between each subject change so I'm feeling a lot better about our schedule. She also said she will be recording the live sessions so it's ok if DD1 misses them because of her OT/PT appointments because she can just watch them later.
I was so anxious last week but am feeling a lot better about things today now that I know what our day will look like and am as prepared as we can be.

Dear 20 year old white kid, Sit the fuck down. And STFU. I should probably save this for UO day, but I have zero fucks to give about football - at any level - being put on hold. Boo hoo. 🙄 Zero fucks about shit being put on hold is literally how I feel about 95% of things in our society / world right now. Idgaf if Halloween is cancelled. Any type of sport. Birthday parties. Concerts. Fairs. Religious meetups. Whatever man. They’re not essential to living. The things I care about that are on hold- are seeing family, spending holidays with family, medical issues people have been ignoring, having money for rent and food. I’m cranky.

My sport is on hold too. Yes, it's unfortunate for those at certain age levels. Welcome to life whiners. Soemtimes shit doesn't go your way. And the sad thing is the loudest complainers are also the bootstrappy crew. Fucking hypocrites.

This has been shared on no les than 10 of my friends walls "Medical care and expenses will be placed on the families"... so I completely read that as "let's get COVID playing football so we don't have to pay for it.

McBenny I love the desk/vanity. Are there a specific type of cubes you used? I don’t usually DIY, but my DH and I have more time than usual, and I’m having trouble finding a desk with storage that fits the space I need it to fit in.

Our school board voted last night to delay the start of school from 8/19 until 9/8. Teachers need more time and the district needs more time to distribute computers and hotspots to those that need them. I totally get it but man it feels like summer will never end. We've been out since mid-May.

If you buy the desk at ikea it has drawers on one side and legs on the other. It's also 200. This is considered a hack. Or dupe. The drawers and cubes came from Michael's. The top is a shelf from home depot. There are a couple YouTube videos. Search Alex desk dupe. They will list the exact names of everything.

Thank you! also when you buy the top. There is a 5 foot shelf or a 6 foot or 4 foot. We got the 4 foot. MH felt there was no leg room. My DD is fine with it. If she should want more the top is like $11 and we could swap out. 🤷🏻♀️

Well, now undergrad classes are going to be online for the first two weeks at least and they're asking students to stay in their rooms/residences for that time to help cut down on spread.
Off to a great start!! I really don't see how any of this in person stuff is going to work.

We had a meeting late last week about how courts may start in person hearings based on the Judge's discretion soon. It probably won't be all judges but there were a few that were spoken of that have been doing more in person hearings. Apparently a few have been allowing and even requesting that parties remove face coverings while speaking and both myself and some of my other colleagues were very uncomfortable with this idea. My boss basically said if we are uncomfortable with how things are happening, we may have to escalate to our big boss (county attorney) and have him say we won't be there if our health is not prioritized over convenience.
I just feel really uncomfortable about the idea of going into a courtroom at all at this point, and don't see myself feeling any better in the next few months. Ugh. At least we get to WFH the rest of the time I guess.

One of them is hard of hearing and apparently has been asking people to take masks off when they are testifying or going on the record. I understand the difficulty for him but it makes me very uncomfortable at the idea of being in that courtroom if people are taking masks on and off.
