Good morning. I over slept. MJ had me up from 5-6. I have the extra kids today. J is better, A is better, I think M escaped unscathed.

I'm not in the best mood because of work stuff. Long story short, once we go back to work the officers can all telework 2-3 times a week. The Chief said because the Admin staff have different roles, he would like the admin staff to come up with our own plan. Here's the problem: we all want to be able to telework up to 2 times a week BUT one of us is the receptionist. She has other roles but reception is her main job function. Since we have been out she handles all of the calls from home but once we go back people will be coming into the office and someone needs to be up front. If she teleworks then the other 3 of us support staff will need to cover. We already have to cover an hour midday for lunch/mail run and 1.5hrs at the end of the day because she has an old grandfathered schedule where she leaves at 3:30. I already stretched thin and the idea of adding more coverage makes me want to puke. I also don't think it is appropriate for her position to telework that much. Maybe a day a week where she can work on her other stuff, but not two.
The biggest problem here is that we are all good friends and I appear to be the lone dissenter here. So I am in a position of either making a stink and risking friendships or I am stressed at work with all of this coverage.

wedding thats tough. The position of a receptionist is the first face of the company so it seems like that position wouldn't have the option to telework. Thats what my old office did, our receptionist was in the office full time. She was bitter about it since the rest of us were home. I hope you can find a balance that works for everyone. I got a new watch/fitness tracker and synced it to my phone last night. My phone is now jacked up. I might have to run to Verizon on my lunch which sounds like hell.

About 7 last night my phone started going nuts. According to facebook it's an android issue and you need to delete some update. I wish I had seen that before I deleted and reinstalled half my apps..... if you have iPhone, I got nothing.

I'm so mad I over slept. I've been doing great working out and wanted to do weights this morning and shower before my extras got here. They get dropped off at 8:30, I woke up at 8:10. I very quickly got M ready and fed, woke up J, changed MJ and threw everyone in the car to get to the bus on time.
I'm going to clean up the basement today and get some Easter decorations put out. Very few since MJ destroys everything she touches..

Both kids were up before 6 because of a thunderstorm. They were ready for school early and were allowed to play roblox and watch the ipad. I'm working from home today since I'm getting my vaccine at noon. It's about 45 min away from my house at one of the airports. I did not want to drive 45 min in the opposite direction to go to work just for 2.5 hours and then drive 1.5 hrs to get the shot. My coworkers seemed annoyed but I don't really care.

Morning. wedding That is tough. Could you send an email to one of the bosses asking to clarify if the receptionist is able to telework, too so maybe they have the final say so and it’s not on any of you to decide? Sorry for the stress. mwhip Phone issues are the worst.

Hi.
I’m finally getting my hair cut. I’ve been trying to since last month but kept having to reschedule because of weather and work. I hope she can finish me in a timely manner because I have a lot to do at home. My realtor is coming by tomorrow and I need to make sure I have most of the house in order. I need to finish some retouching and cleaning/putting away toys.

wedding that's annoying. We have all been covering for the reception desk (we actually laid off our receptionist), but one person basically volunteered to do it 4 days per week so the rest of us only have to do it once in a blue moon. Which is nice. I haven't been busy so it's no big deal now to do it, but once things get back in full swing, I can't imagine trying to juggle responsibilities

Morning. I slept a little better than yesterday, but still all battling the cold. I took al walk with my mom. I ordered some easter stuff, just candy, some chalk, bubbles and a colouring book. I’m looking for that one thing to make it a bit more special, but if I can’t find it 🤷🏼♀️. Nachos for dinner tonight 🥳.

Yeah, It is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Especially since I watched Frozen and Frozen 2 approximately 8000 times over the past year. When S was homeschooling last year, B would literally just watch them back to back, all day long.

Does he watch those super weird youtube videos of the annya and elsya (not sure on that spelling) dolls? B is obsessed with those and they are so weird.

Hi. I've been trying to keep up but the days just get away from me. I hope everyone is well. peachsmama I'm glad everyone is better mwhip Congrats on listing the house, although a stressful process I'm sure its exciting to build new and have something to look forward to. What is the timeline that the builder has given? +1 to a Frozen house, it is not uncommon that J will put on the Elsa or Ana dress up

wedding that would annoying. I'm very pro-telework for everyone who can, but clearly, there are some jobs you need to be in person. If working for home is going to require others to perform your duties, you don't have a job you can work from home. jewels lolz. Funny. In same ways I'm the mom hiding behind the curtains.

Usual over here. I'm just internally raging at all the assholes who are suddenly crying out about "MeNTaL HEAltH!!!" who don't give a shit about it any of the other days when there isn't a mass shooting. Depression and anxiety don't make you go into a grocery store and shoot a bunch of people. Nor do the big ones-- Bipolar or Schizophrenia. And even if it did you'd still be against universal health care so fuck right off with that.

I fell down a rabbit hole. There are a few pretty funny ones. I don't know anything about the family that makes them or if they are awful people or anything but they are pretty clever. They did "Come on Vaccine" to the tune of Come on Eileen. And "Do you want to start drinking" to Do you want to build a snowman.

peachsmama, damn. That sounds like a plot from the Brady Bunch. I hope it's not too bad. Oh check my snap story.. I had to drag my shop vac out to suck up the water. Pull my washer and dryer out and dry the floor. Now I'm sucking the water off my basement steps because it flowed out of the laundry room, out into the hall and under my basement door, Down the steps and there's a small pool down there. Alex is just baffled because I've done this twice now and this time I was in the next room the whole time.
