NOT EVERY LEAF BLOWING IN THE SKY IS A FLYING SAUCER-- OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT... JUST HEARD FROM PAM
WHO HAS BEEN ILL LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE COV COMPLICATIONS....
BUT HER ROOMMATE ( MARY.. A NURSE...); JUST GOT A NEGATIVE TEST RESULT.. NOT THAT.... BLAH BLAAH...
I STILL THINK SHE SHOULD WORK AT HOME FOR A LONG TIME. ALOT OF WHAT SHE DOES CAN BE DONE THERE
EXCEPT.. I MSS MOSTLY HER STORING AWAY THE THINGS THAT ARRIVE AT MAIL CALL...MY DESK IS GETTING COVERED
BLAMING IT ON PAM IS TEH WAY TO GO.

JUST TO LET SOME OF YOU NEWCOMERS KNOW... WE CP's ARE A VERY DIVERSE GROUP--
AND WE HAVE OUR VERY OWN REP IN THE CDC-- DEB WHO IN HER ADDRESS HAS THINGS LIKE High-Consequence Pathogens
YESTERDAYSENT ME A BUNCH OF MEGANS
TRAINING VIDEOS TOGETHER SO I WROTE TO HER AND SAID
" FOR CRYING OUT LOUD DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO DO????"
AND GOT BACK....
"I HAVE AN HOUR LONG INCUBATION STEP SO CATCH UP ON EMAILS AND HAPPENINGS AT THE FARM."
WELL THAT IS REASSURING TO HEAR SHE IS WORKING and not "FURLOUGHED" WHICH IS A NEW WORD TO ME...
I DONT THINK I SHOULD INCLUDE THE ENTIRE OFFICE IN WHICH SHE WORKS BUT IN MY EFFORT
TO GIVE PEOPLE THE PROPER CREDITS, SHE HAS 18 LETTERS AFTER HER NAME.
MAYBE IT IS THE LOCATION OF HER MAIL SLOT... WELL IT IMPRESSED ME.

PRICE GOUGING ? OR THE AMERICAN WAY OF PROFIT.EERING ...
NOW ABOUT THAT PULSE OXYGEN GIZMO I GOT IN LAST NIGHT'S MAIL CALL
MY OLD ONE--- FOR 3 FOR $10 IS LOOKING TIRED.. SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER FOR $28 ON EBAY
HOW BAD IS THIS ECONOMIC BIT??? THE 3 FOR $10 CAME WITH BATTERIES. BUT
THE ONE FOR $28 HAD A LITTLE SPACE WHERE TH E BATTERIES WERE, BUT... NO BATTERIES.
THEY ARE AMAZING GIZMOS... I PUT ONE ON EACH THIRD FINGER AND THE Y BOTH READ THE SAME NUMBER...
( I KNOW... EITHER BOTH RIGHT OR BOTH WRONG..)
-----
I DO UNDERSTAND THE RIGHT TO PROTEST-- HEAVEN KNOWS I DO ENOUGH OF THAT... BUT I DO THINK
PROTESTING SHOULD BE LEFT TO CRITICAL MATTERS YOU HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT .... NOT SOMETHING
YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD TO OBJECT TO.
---
I ALSO THINK WE ARE LONG OVERDUE TO ASSESS JUST WHO IS CRITICAL TO OUR WAY OF LIVING...
THE GUY PICKING THE TOMATOES, THE TRUCK DRIVER WHO DIRVES 8 HOUR DAYS...LOADING SHELVES ON THE SUPERMARKET, TO MY FAVORITE, THE DRIVER WHO PICKS UP THE TRASH.. MINUS ANY ONE OF THOSE FUNCTIONS....WE HAVE A PROBLEM-- SOMEHOW THE HIGHER UP THE LADDER-- AND SALARY, TEH LESS FUNCTIONALLY CRITICAL-- ALL THE WAY TO "ADVERTISING EXECUTIVES" AND CEO'S-- IT HAS BEEN PROVEN NO TRASH COLLECTION IN NEW YORK CITY MAKES A WHALE OF A MESS WITHIN 8 HOURS.-- WHERE THE CEO OF MOST ANY COMPANY CAN BE MISSING FOR WEEKS WITH NO APPRECIABLE EFFECT. THE ARGUEMENT BEING LOWER IS "MORE EASILY REPLACED" DOES NOT ALWAYS HOLD TRUE EITHER... SOMEWHERE ? SWEEDEN TEH CEO' PAY IS RELAED TO PERCENTAGE OF THE LOWEST ...OR SOMETHING.
AND SOMEWHERE ELSE ANY FINE-- FOR ANYTHING-- IS A FUNCTIONOF INCOME LEVEL..
A PARKING TICKET FOR BILL GATES WOULD BE 1.2 MILLION. ------THERE IS A THOUGHT THERE....
