@Mycroft They do. They were really good about it and encourage people to go home/call in if they need to, go see the doctor on an extended lunch break if necessary, etc. And personally I *always* tell everyone else to stay home if they need to.
But when it comes to me I feel so bad about it. Even though the pharmacists have both had emergencies recently that *actually* required the place to shut down early and no one's given them a hard time about it. They understand, this is a good place to work, I just have to de-program my expectations from my *last* job.
Today's Card: 7 of Cups, reversed
A few days ago I pulled this card in the upright position and said I'd always liked it. In reverse it apparently means "beware your choices" and that's much less pleasant. Good to keep in mind, though, I guess.
Good morning!
Called in sick today. It took me an hour and 3 separate calls because I was supposed to open and I feel super guilty. I still feel guilty but also I know I wouldn't have been able to do anything at work and I hated more when a co-worker refused to call in but was also a mess and not actually helpful at all. So hopefully it'll be a slow enough day and they'll be fine without me.
When a lady toots, it is customary to applaud.
@Sasha Sometimes embracing it isn't the point and might not even be possible. Right now, I'm just working on acceptance. Most of the changes are at least partly bad, I can try to focus on the good but some things are going to be worse.
But it's happening no matter how I feel about it so I just need to remember that it's not the first time the rug's been pulled out from under me, and it's also not going to be the *worst* time by a long shot. I'll adjust once it happens like I have before.
Today's Card: Death (reversed)
Everything's changing at work and people are leaving and it's super stressful and I do not want it. But, I can't freeze time and stop people living their lives just because I like where I am right now and also crave stability. Or can I.....
(I cannot.)

Do my daily reading (done)

I mean, I've had worse days.

OKAY OKAY I GET IT DAMN.
How to Talk to your Computer
by Seymour Simon (1985)
This book had an intro to BASIC for ages 5 to 9, including PRINT and END, with some explanation of how to draw a square
Hectic work day, now for work from home! It will be good.
My internet wasn't working right this morning so I couldn't share my card of the day. It is Justice. Scary-ish but a good reminder!
Gaaaaaaaaaames. Tonight I get to play gaaaaaames. With friends! Surprise last minute plans. It is a good day.
If the Earth was flat, cats would have knocked everything off of it by now.
