My yearly physical is this week. See the orthopedist in 3 weeks or so. Ankle is healing well.

I didn’t find a thread about covid here. The main reason I logged in again was I hoped everyone was well.
Unfortunately for me, I didn’t do so well with covid. I have had what they call long covid since March. It’s a bit of hell, don’t recommend it. Seven months ago and still have shortness of breath, bad fatigue, cough, confusion, etc etc etc. I give this disease a two star rating. There’s no treatment yet and they’re not even sure why a small percentage longer long covid.

That sounds awful, Ananda. I'm so sorry.

I'm annoyed right now because I got a jury summons for next month. Being in a courtroom (even at limited capacity) is a bit out of my comfort zone right now. I could postpone it for up to six months, but it doesn't really seem like things will be much better by then. If anything, it could be worse. Seems better to just get it over with, but ugh.

Sorry to hear Ananda. On the plus side, at least you're recovering. (Sorry, the Covid thread is in the 'Tank, where angels fear to tread. Wink

)

I dunno Sorus, never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. And 6 months is a long time. I'd probably be postponing it if it was me...

Me, I'm not feeling too bad. Probably been my quietest week since lock-down started...Now I'm starting to worry about what I must have forgotten to do... Very Happy

I like that idea, Linna. As long as there was a mod team to stay on top of it to make certain that thread didn't take on 'tank overtones...

Ananda used to post some very good stuff in the Tank. Maybe not up to it now, though. Going in there when you already feel drained...

I'd like to give you a hug, Ananda. Good to see you here.

What if we call the thread, Love in the Time of COVID? Make it clear this is about bromanship.

I am pissed. I find out on FB that my unit closing come January. On effing FB. So I have no idea how we will be dispersed to other units. If my being out to mid November will hurt my odds of going to a better unit. Son of a bitch. 20 effing years in the system and I find out out Facebook.

That's really lousy.

The company I work for just did a big layoff, mostly at the top (see why I won't let them promote me?) - I'm not directly affected (yet), but I think the worst is yet to come.

Knowledge is good, but there isn't much I can do with it right now. Most places I would consider going to as a lateral move are in a hiring freeze, or in worse shape than my current position.

What a mess.

Sorry Sorus. I know how you feel.

It was rank who told us. A great guy. I'm going to see if it's worth retiring now.

Thanks for the well wishes. What I’d really like to know is if people here are ok. That was my main motive in returning. There were some people here I really like and I know the demographics here are a bit more in the at risk category age-wise 😂 Are people ok?

Ps. Linna and Deer! 💞

I am really upset about this possible forced move at work.

A friend in the field force says the Trusty Camp will stay open because of the fields, hogs andvhen house. If so I am assuming
The kitchen stays open and I sm senior in the kitchen. So I don't
Know what that means for me. The camp can hold at maximum
Capacity 321 inmates. I'm csllingbthe temporary kitchen captain
In the morning. If she had no answers I will call HR and then the
Assistant warden. My first choice would be stay at the unit. Second
Would be my llf unit. The the two other units near my old unit.

Any prayers & well wishes are desperately needed. I only have four
More years til retirement. I want to continue on an easy unit.
