(HR sounds like dealing with too many humans, though.)

I just think it's weird that she quit or got fired/killed/whatever in the span of 2 days (in the middle of the week, no less). Although at least I'm getting rejected faster, so... yay for less uncertainty?

Somewhat more seriously, that company always seemed weird with their staffing; the first time, the interviewers had been there for 5 months, 4 months, and 3 weeks.

Imagine making fun of Hillary Clinton for having pneumonia on the second day of October in 2016 and then testing positive for coronavirus today after you openly mocked mask wearers on TV a few days earlier.

My brother-in-law (by which I mean my sister's husband's brother) and his wife just tested positive for COVID.

The construction company I work for got a job in Colorado building cabins on a rich guy's ranch, so I was facing a couple weeks of very little if any hours back here in Ohio. Coincidentally, a farm the company has done/is doing work for was looking for temp workers, so today I told my mom that I started a new job that involves marijuana and stripping...because it's a hemp farm and I was stripping leaves and buds from plants all day.

Also, my feet and wrists are killing me from said work.

And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

I got another call about a job, and I set up an interview for this Friday. I'm half-expecting a crater to be in place of the building when I go there.

EDIT: Not quite, but no one let me in when I rang the bell (three times over ten minutes). I'm only slightly amused.

So my neighbors across the street are either going to have a drive in COVID testing site or they really care that much about their dented, scratched up, early 2000's Acura Integra to cover it with a large tent.

It's about preserving its Integraty!

This morning I woke up at 3:30 instead of 5 for no reason and couldn't go back to sleep. At work, I filled my bucket with glue and promptly splashed a bunch of it on my pant leg (and some on the floor). Then when I asked for a printout of the work I'm supposed to do this week, two out of three printers jammed.

Today was clearly the start of a good week.

Oh, and I forgot to buy some stuff I need on the way home, but screw it.

EDIT: On a related note, does anyone have any ideas on how to get a phone unglued from an external battery pack, preferably without fucking up the phone (any further)? (SECOND EDIT: Never mind; I got it.)

Duct taping a portable battery to my phone has given me valuable insight as to why phones are not designed to be shaped or weigh as much as a brick.

The doctor says my cholesterol is too high so he's put me on yet another drug. Upside is he reduced one of the ones I'm already on and provided that goes well he's going to see about reducing other ones. Did I mention I have a new doctor? He's a little difficult to understand but very good.

I know you probably mean that you are dealing with a homo sapiens of sesquipedalian verbiage, but I like to assume he just has a comedy accent. Like if he's wearing a beret and a stripy jumper, with a twirly moustache and smoking a Gauloise, saying, "Sacre bleu! You are eeeeeell."

In other news, my work has won some industry award! Yay us! But I'm not putting this in the good news thread, because we were nominated for three awards (and it's all marketing bollocks; you enter it like a competition and get clients to vote for you) and we only won Data Centre Energy Efficiency of the Year. I don't even know, or care, what that is. Meanwhile, for Data Centre Services of the Year, in other words, world's best customer support, a colossal amount of which is me personally, we came second. I am much more proud of that, since again, it's me who does that, but because it's not a win, the marketing people haven't put it on social media or anything. And yet they ask us all to like, share and retweet their post about something I had nothing to do with. It's like I'm not actually the world's most important person. This is clearly the thanks I get for staying home for a week in April with coronavirus. So it's good news and bad news. Good because I am the second-best IT support guy on the face of the planet, bad because I will never, ever, ever get a giant gold statue of myself outside the building.

My uncle passed away a few days ago (the sick one from this post, not the idiot doctor), and the funeral home had a few separate viewings between Tuesday and today. I went to the one they had yesterday evening, after I got out of work. It was... something. My aunt and cousin both seemed intent on staying away from us the whole time, which (to make a long story short) was okay with us.

In other news, I found out that, despite my being told I'd be made permanent at work and given a $1/hr raise effective last week, my paycheck was the same amount as before, and still from the temp agency. *shrug*

One last thing, and I'm not sure how concerned I should be: my check engine light was on for a while yesterday, but was off today. I had the oil changed maybe ~1k miles ago, and the temperature gauge never says anything extreme (though I've been meaning to check the antifreeze).
