A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes. I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

I didn't rate the comments as I was reading them but I have now... The bolded/orange items were 4.8; bolded/red 4.9 in my opinion. Of course, most timely entries meet the overall criteria of the challenge, therefore I awarded merit badges based on excellence in writing. Excellence was often overlooked in my high-school growing up and it's my observation that it's overlooked at WdC as well, so I award it here. |
*sent* charlieabney "You said it stronger than I ever could because this happened to you in recent past tense. You were proactive... kudos to you. Shame on the others. " re "Invalid Entry" My response to Sox: When I was younger I might have let it slide or blown up; but, at this point I'd be tempted to tell my boss, give an ultimatum if necessary (why is Karly at work!), go to the boss' boss, check in with Human Resources, if not satisfied, send an email to the CEO, cc/ corporate lawyer, cc/personal lawyer, cc/union lawyer, cc/department of health (local, regional, state). They can fight among themselves as to who will pay when they're sued. I do feel for Karly, as I don't know what personal issues she's dealing with and what options she may have at her disposal. But, it's up to HR to figure that out. After 2 years of covid they should have protocols in place. If not... they need to be publicly rebuked. "November 27, 2021" Sandy: My reality. I mouth breathe because my nose gets blocked; a mask is uncomfortable at times. I manage, others do too. // My opinion. The company has had over a year to implement policies regarding covid. Masks should be mandatory when you are coughing or sneezing. Period. // Does Karly have covid? It doesn't matter. She should not be in the office sick. Everything else is an excuse. "Karly Cooties" Robert: "Yep. I don't care about why K is sneezing or coughing at this point. Wear a mask or go home. Does she/he want to argue? Go home or you're fired. Companies are assinine if they don't have policies by now." "Go Home" Give Karly a fire, and she'll be warm for the rest of the day. Set Karly on fire, and she'll be warm for the rest of her life. Cappucine: "Harlow Flick makes a valid point. This prompt may be pointless in other parts of the world where illness and disease are not politicized and individuality isn't a supreme virtue trumping other people's rights. I like your response because 1. it is direct. 2. it is based on your reality." "No Time for Karly" Sonali: "Yes, I hopefully would do likewise; however, I haven't worked for years. These days I might create quite a ruckus. Only one problem for many... and I know this has arisen in India and Thailand: "no work = no eat". " "Co worker - #30DBC" Sumojo: "There are reasons why people work while ill. One is "no work = no eat". This became a problem in India and Thailand as well as in USA as the gig-economy collapsed. Artists, especially performing artists, were devastated. That said, Karly should be sent home. No excuses accepted during a pandemic. And maskless? Don't get me started..." "Leave the room" QP: "We get a lot of colds in the cold cold North. So, it isn't necessarily serious. But... But... I'm not as nice as you are. These days I might just start a ruckus... sick & no mask = attitude I shouldn't have to deal with. Too much is at risk." "Sick Karly" Jenn: "I so want to be in Thailand. Less covid. Or in Taiwan. Less bad attitude. In February 2020 everyone masked up before they were asked to do so. I was there. For some folks "no work = no eat". My friends in the gig-economy have been desperate. 40+ years ago when I first lived in Kansas people were kind and considerate. Perhaps no longer. People wonder why governments issue mandates; Karly is one of the reasons why. Some people cannot be cajoled; they have to be told. You are right about roads. Glad you can avoid most of the nonsense, not everyone can. " "Invalid Entry" Viv: Karly is sick. She should wear a mask because coughing and sneezing can make others ill. A mask will not kill her; her germs may kill others. It's called being considerate. She should probably have stayed home because she's sick (even a non-lethal cold is miserable)."Fear Or Lack Of" Petra: For most of the World masking and staying-home-while-sick is called being considerate. In much of the US you would be personally attacking her freedoms... "Home, immidiately!" Mike: Yes, there are plenty of people in Montana who would curse you; but, most would tell you to mind your own business. HR and Security gonna have a fun time with Karly. Montana is basically anti-mask and anti-vax, even here in Missoula. Quite anti-science with Q-supporters just north of here running the show. Yep... you better be looking for a new and safer job. "Bless you? Maybe. [30 DBC entry]" Kat? It amazed me how quickly the government in Taiwan responded to the urgent need for masks as the populace demanded them before any mandate. Sick folks just wear masks... and no one wanted to get sick. But... I suspect that the people are just more compliant, more rational and much better grounded in science. Americans are more argumentative/defiant, emotional and ignorant. "30 day blogging-Nov 27, 2021" |
