    NYY has me use essential oils as lubricant so I'm assuming I'm okay.

    I had a sinus procedure done last week, my nose has been clogged and dripping profusely for about 5 days, everyone is scared to death to be around me. It's been my paradise

    KMF : "Boss, I could use a little OT here."

    Boss: "uhhhh...actually, KMF, why don't you just take the whole week off. In fact, take the rest of the month off."

    KMF : "If I must...."

    They actually asked me to volunteer to work 6 twelve hour days for 3 weeks, maybe more, to work on transmission lines. 80-100 feet up, most people get a little nervous that high. I respectfully declined, wouldn't feel comfortable working all that OT after the email they put out asking for us to reduce OT hours worked.

    the Thai people have mixed emotions about this. on one hand, they find the chinese to be rude and stubborn. they're glad they are quarantined. on the other, that's a lot of money because they vacation here in droves.

    Us Americans, Europeans, and latinx seem to be preferred in general because we follow rules.

    My wife has fallen hard for Erkältungstee here. Some folks around here swear by it for colds and such. It's basically flowers and spices and doesn't taste like much, but you could drink some if you find it. At least you as you drift off to the sweet by and by, you could do what I do after my wife asks me to drink it, ponder what on earth was in that crap anyway?

    Update - turns out the girl was in an accident and isn't sick. The nurse that called us could have at least told us she was in an accident instead of leading us to believe she was really sick.

    So, I'm going to live.

    If I'm reading the charts passing across my desk correctly, there has been a large spike in confirmed cases in Italy in the last few days. Enough so that Italy canceled carnival in Venice before it ended.

    Yes. Appear to be issues in Austria as well, though not as large. Those 2 countries have been a big focus in terms of expat and travel analysis this work week.

    Just had a fun conversation with a client that is closely connected to the CDC. This is an experiment gone horrible wrong by the Chineese.

    I don't think so. All cases in Vietnam, for example, are now healthy and the numbers just aren't large enough, nor deadly enough.
