I'm working today and a girl came in who is under the weather.  I seriously want to kill her right now.

Yeah that's a real eye roller......  First of all, people shouldn't come into work when they are ill to begin with but in light of current events its completely asinine and shows a total disregard for common sense and other people's well being.  I don't know if I'm as much upset that she is sick or that someone could be that stupid.  Probably a little bit of both.  Now is clearly not the time to throw caution to the wind.

Innings festival went without a hitch. Spring training baseball games have been packed. Life goes on unabated. More and more concerts are being announced. March madness will go on. NBA and NHL arenas are loaded, and XFL continues to draw attendance.  Just the facts. 

That’s the most shocking part.

Some employers are part of the problem. I’ve been told to suck it up before. The breaking point for me was as a teacher I came in, told my supervisor right away that I wasn’t doing well and was there to just make sub plans and go (which was the protocol at the time, we didn’t have an online system). I was told not to go home that they wouldn’t get anyone to cover my class and to stick it out until at least nutrition break, 2 hours into the day, and see if I can stay. I know they were assuming if I stayed 2 hours I’d stay the whole day.
Reluctantly I did. I felt so bad at break I walked into the office and said I will not be coming back that day. I went straight to urgent care, had 104 fever and pneumonia.
They realized their mistake because after a week I tried to come back, they made me take a whole 2 weeks off and get seen before returning. I know 100% that was just CYA for not letting me go sooner.

Nutrition break? I’m curious, do many people reference it like that or was it said jokingly? 

I have to assume it’s the same as lunch time?

Our schedule went
2 hours of class
20 minute nutrition
2 hours of class
lunch
2 hours of class
Happy hour.

They served breakfast during nutrition. I’m pretty sure it’s state law to offer 2 hot meals to students during the day. A lot do it before school, we just did it 2 hours in.

i also assume it saved money by only having food service there a few hours. If you do it during nutrition and lunch you only have food service there for 4 or 5 hours.
if you had them get there before school to serve food it would be an all day gig

This article states wolf parade canceled their euro tour, for now. Think, for the netherlands, it's the 1st band to do so:

It’s their decision of course but to me that seems over the top. The club they’re supposed to play in hamburg fits 550 people and it isn’t even sold out. There are no government restrictions in most states yet, even the most restrictive one in Switzerland only says anything over 1.000 is off for now

Context matters!

Also Smashing Pumpkins just announced an April/May tour. Still plenty of time to be cancelled on that one but interesting that big bands are still booking for the spring the way the news is. This is positive news imo!

I'm not sure what's more annoying... Your attempt to politicize a burgeoning pandemic, or your 32 line signature.

Take comfort in the fact that it was going to be 36 lines after March but that’s really looking in Jeopardy now.  So you might be spared.

I just wanna say it will suck if the shows are cancelled.

I vote signature... just a little over the top.. Interesting though... Other than Australia, they're all in the Northeast..

I know super annoying right? (the signature). Pick the little setting wheel and select 'edit profile. There is a signature tab and then select 'Hide signatures always'. Just found out about this recently. very satisfying.

Done.  Some people just like to complain without offering any suggestion or help that could help alleviate the issue.  Appreciate the tip.

Lol believe me I sometimes say Wow 32 shows and friends and family often call me crazy for it.  I’m obviously a pretty big fan since Day 1 with this band and I’ve remained faithful.  Truth is I’ve met many a people that put my 32 shows to shame.
