For many years I enjoyed going to the national eye research meetings in Sarasota FL. They have since moved to Fort Lauderdale area. Sarasota was largely spared all things considered.
My wife and I are slowly recovering from our nasty colds. In the 40s this a.m. and suppose to be in the mid 80s by tomorrow in pdx. Way to warm/hot for this time of year in the PacNW.

Hang in there Bill with your pain. I still have some itchy stinging sensations from my presumed yellow jacket attack last Sunday. I must have trapped one under my bike jersey bottom near the top of my bike shorts. The large red welt from multiple stings had receded a bit. Never saw the beast but sure felt his presence.

I did have one boss send me home because I had pneumonia and he did not want others infected. He actually made me stay home for several days. I suspect that having sickies come to work and spread germs is not always the best option. There is probably a good middle ground there.

Good Morning

You are right, we always had those who didn't put in a full effort, but I think it is more acceptable now to be put out if a job is to demanding or not accommodating enough.

Busy day ahead. I have to head out for a PCR Covid Test in 90 minutes. Then it is back home to meet up with my son who will follow me to the Auto Scrapyard so I can scrap my 21-year-old Saturn under the States program that pays me $1000 to get old cars like mine that failed its smog test off the road. I am surprised this program still exists. A bit of a pain but worth it for me and the air.

We have very low unemployment, and many companies just wanting warm bodies; work ethic not what it used to be. Went to Lowe's yesterday and three employees standing and talking to other employees told me I needed to use self-checkout, why do I get a discount for ringing up my own merchandise. Walmart wants one to self-checkout but then wants to check receipt, I'll let them check me out.
Hope Mike is having a great time.
