Ephemera and Vacations

Neoclassicism / Abraham van Strij/ Two goats in a yard

Glad the week is over, this week required too much work and dedication.

Look, I am not at all certain that the response to COVID is appropriate to or in line with the severity of the disease and the mortality and morbidity outlined by the dataset being presented. 

That being said, public health in this country being what it is (a fucking mess presided over by oligarchs) maybe an excess of caution is in fact appropriate. 

So this week I was jerked away from my comfortable niche in the bureaucratic nightmare that is a socialized health system to do my part in containment.  I really didn't mind the work at all, truth be told, it is the best part of my job talking to my guys. 

Us old white guys on the lower end know how the deal goes down.  When I call them and talk to them to ask them how they are doing, they seem genuinely pleased that someone is trying to keep an eye on them.

So this weekend is resting after fighting the good fight.  My guess is that it will step up a notch next week while the bureaucrats scramble over themselves to preen for their future promotions.  My good work will be augmented with work designed to load a mid-manager's spreadsheet that is their job justification.

Just the nature of the beast.  The good fight will be there next week.
