#bat rants

I just got my period, cramps included, even though I’m not due for another 10 days. I’m blaming Covid.

I don’t have the time and energy to deal with this today. 😭😭😭

It’s either pain meds and no alcohol (on FriendsMas????) or grinding my teeth through the pain, having a drink or five, and hoping that I’ll at least be quick enough with prep to have a quick lie down before the friends arrive.

I love Edgar Allan Poe so I hear about a horror/movie mystery show that’s literally called The Fall Of The House Of Usher, and immediately decide I wanna watch it.

Spoilers + gore talk under the cut

*channels my best kurtis* Hey man i can't tell if this is satire or not but no you fucking don't!! i just had to scrub my skin off for like 30 minutes because i touched too many bad sock textures and they remained on my hands and i couldn't get rid of the feeling. it hurts and it's awful and you dont want this. IT RUINS SO MANY FUN THINGS.

SENSORY ISSUES ARE NOT QUIRKY. THEYRE NOT FUN. YOU DON'T WANT THIS.

Asked the Excel colleague if she’d be okay with me fully wfh this week due to Shark preparing to work in Panama/Peru and not wanting to take infection risks beforehand. Got a very unenthusiastic “ehh, yes, but”, followed by four reasons why I should come into the office.

Let myself be pressured into coming in, carpooled with the dog colleague and another colleague (both unmasked in the car) at stupid o’clock this morning after about two hours of sleep, only for the other colleague to test positive at the office.

How about doing a test before coming in?

This is exactly why I didn’t want to come in.

So we’re all promptly send back home, where I just can hope that I won’t infect Shark before her flight.

Messaged both teammates about what’s happening, Excel colleague replied: Aw, man, that’s unfortunate. Maybe a false positive. But didn’t you want to stay home anyway?

I have yet to react to her message.

Bonus:

While almost home, the dog colleague caused a car accident, probably resulting in around 6k damages to her car that won’t be picked up by insurance because it was her fault. No people were harmed though!
