My municipality went from having ~1mil breathing room in this year's budget to having to find budget cuts to the tune of 5mil. All this after we never recovered from the previous crisis and the mismanagement of 10 years of right wing rule.
At least I received my contact today. I am now employed indefinitely.

Weird day for me today.
On one hand, I got my annual bonus (my "normal" one) and it's just over a months wages in addition to my normal paycheck. My personal score, which is part of how they calculate the bonus, was very good and my supervisor described me as the hardest worker in the office.
On the other, two people in my department were informed today that they're being let go as part of a re-org. One of them has been low key looking for a new job for close to a year, so she's handling it OK, the other I'm afraid was probably totally blindsided by it. I've reached out both by phone and on Teams (he's in a different part of the country) but... yeah.
For the first time in effectively a month, everything's not on fire when I logged on Monday morning.
We get next Monday off. I already discussed how my team is basically pushing us to take Friday off, too. I decided to burn a vacation day and take Thursday off, as well.
So Wednesday is extra mega ultra fridaxxxxx, and it's looking like the 3 days this week won't be in crisis mode.

Gods can you imagine the kind of shits an all-blood diet would produce. I wouldn't ever want to poop either.

Your poop is already mostly dead red blood cells and dead gut bacteria, with whatever indigestible matter is leftover (it's a relatively small portion of feces matter). The color of feces is caused by the eventual breakdown products of hemoglobin. So your poops probably wouldn't change much, maybe slightly less solid than regular poops.
A quick google suggests that vampire bat guano is not notably distinct from regular guano, but it does smell much more strongly of ammonia due to the breakdown products from having to digest that volume of blood. So your poops might reek of ammonia assuming vampire biology follows similar breakdown pathways.
Basically, if anyone you know has a house that always smells strongly of cleaning supplies, don't spend the night.

That's a shame. There was a Specialty's right by my office that'd I'd get tasty treats from occasionally, but their service was terrible. I'd see employees arguing regularly, dude's would just walk away from the register and disappear, they'd constantly screw up orders if you were getting sandwiches/salads, etc.
Huh...

And farts! Cat farts are awful. But blood is actually a much less rich source of protein (which is the main cause of horrific carnivore farts) than muscle, so I don't think we'd see quite the same effect.
Blood actually sucks as a nutrition source generally. Vampire bats will starve after two days without a successful feeding.

My cats will just opt not to cover their poops at all which makes a godawful smell. One time managed to poop in such a way that it landed on its end and stayed upright so as to maximize the exposed surface area.
I was mad about it, but honestly, if I'd managed that I'd probably have left it too.
I and the rest of my coworkers are being brought back in for two days a week starting June 1st. The nice thing about that is I'll still qualify for partial unemployment and the CARE act supplement, so I'll still be making more than when I was employed full time. Come the end of July the company will reassess what it's going to do but for now it's at least something.
This does mean I'll have to spend the next week or so trying to get back to a normal sleep schedule. I've fallen into what seems to be my natural sleep and wake times and they are not compatible with the 'normal' work hours.

Since we're now going to start disciplining staff members who refuse to wear masks and gloves, HR has panic-assigned a number of PPE modules. So far I've sat through three industry-agnostic online lessons about gloves, helmets, and goggles. Nary a word has been spoken about what kind of equipment you should wear to prevent contagion in a virus-rich environment.
On an entirely unrelated note, did you know that Windows solitaire serves up ads for slot machine apps in between hands now? What a despicably lame cyberpunk dystopia this is.

I thought the color was from bile?
Nope, bilirubin and its derived breakdown products.
Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and elevated levels may indicate certain diseases.[5] It is responsible for the yellow color of bruises and the yellow discoloration in jaundice. Its subsequent breakdown products, such as stercobilin, cause the brown color of faeces. A different breakdown product, urobilin, is the main component of the straw-yellow color in urine.
edit: to be fair bilirubin does color bile, so, you're kinda right?

Why would you put kryptonite in Superman's cereal? Was this all an extremely clumsy trap? Because we all know that Superman would be way too humble to eat his own cereal.

When adorable and adoring fans offer him bowls of the cereal he'd be far too polite to refuse. It would be literally killing him with kindness! HIS OWN KINDNESS!! MWA-HA-HA!!!

It's a time-honored tradition in myths and legends to kill the hero through their own politeness or other obligations.
If you need to ship 4 vehicle tires, slap a label on each of them before they go out. Using 1 label then trying to use plastic straps to keep them together does not work. Either the straps break on their own, meaning there's a good chance you won't get the tires, or all of the straps end up in the same spot like the world's most uncomfortable necklace, so the shipper has to cut them apart and print out individual labels anyway.

Right. They have to go to upscale all-night clinics where licensed professionals slap it out of them.
