    For y'all librarians/youth club organizers out there: https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/wizards-digital-club-support-program#overlay-context=articles/features/dratalk-bdave-walters Wizards has a digital kit available for "qualifying organizations", no idea what those are exactly, but it might be worth checking out in case you're looking for more options to interact digitally with The Youth.
    What’s in the Kit?

    The digital club activity kit contains the following items:

    A welcome note with information on resources available to engage your community with Magic and D&D
    30 codes for 3 free booster packs on Magic Arena (redeemable one per account)
    A key code to unlock one legendary bundle on D&D Beyond (should be redeemed by the D&D organizer)

    Holy shit that legendary bundle is north of $650 and it only gains in value as more content is released. That's a really solid resource.

    I am happy to have a full weekend off. Got the good sleep.

    But cannot see my woman.

    Cannot feel the press of humanity in a cafe.

    No where to go overnight.

    Must shop in the daylight.

    So yesterday {Saturday's overnight} the MMC or Dairy/deli frozen trailer came really late at 3am so Last night I and two other people had to do yesterday's and today's
    But the problem was the other two people just gave up at the start of the shift hearing what we had to do
    I have no idea how many carts or pallets I did I did not think about it but I was more pissed I told one of them to at 5am to pull the other ice cream pallet start it and I will come help when I am finished pointing at the last cart I had to do. He kept saying we cannot have a pallet on the floor after 6 I said just pull it I will help you he wanders off but all He did was a grocery cart of ice-cream he pulled off one of the pallets from downstacking earlier
    At 6:20 I pull the pallet and went threw it as fast as I can at 3 minutes to 7 I finished it
    Seriously it's not that hard I get sick and tired of playing army of one for nothing

    Cool, cool. One of my team member's husband has been informed that he should self-quarantine as someone he works with has tested positive. So I'm officially 4 degrees away now.

    Oh, we were told that my team member should keep working unless her husband becomes symptomatic. I guess our EH&S department didn't get the memo about the possibility of asymptomatic transmission.

    That's what I don't get about the places doing temperature checks before letting you in. If somebody is showing a fever due to covid, then they've likely been contagious for several days before that no?

    At least catching someone who could be sick and wasn't reporting/in denial/false positive after the fact is something better than nothing, I suppose.

    Looks like we've pushed the opening date back to May 4th at the earliest, pending further health data. Doubt my email had anything to do with it, but I'll take what I can get.

    Also, I have decided that I'm going to greet every single one of my employees with "Hi! It's me, Jedoc! You may not have recognized me on account of the mask."

    My department sent out an email asking if we’d prefer a later or earlier return.

    I put later because fuck if I wanna go back in early may and get sick with the first wave of folks back in the office.

    I mean overall the plan to come back that I’ve heard bits and pieces of doesn’t sound THAT bad.

    They’re gonna start with a week or two of only department managers, execs, and maybe some project leads and the like, and gradually bring in more people. Doing temp checks at the door, asking people to wear masks, size limits on meetings, closing off gathering areas like the lunch room, etc.

    It’s just that it’s probably gonna start up a couple weeks too early.

    If you're biking to work, forehead thermometers are useless. She's basically telling you that your body is doing a good job of shedding heat under exertion.

    There's a way to get a more accurate temperature, but I wouldn't recommend it. I wouldn't put it past the Hell That Is Known To Men to start taking core temps instead.
