Hell's Bells

...and then some.

I wasn't surprised when our first employee tested positive for COVID-19. The majority of our work currently is in the hospitals. I also wasn't too worried because early on, my bosses decided that the field workers shouldn't come up into the office in the afternoons unless absolutely necessary. This limited our (the office people) potential exposure.

The first three to test positive were all plumbers and not foremen, so I wasn't too overly concerned here either, because I rarely, if ever, come into contact with these guys.

I started getting worried when our first foreman tested positive. Ari's super sweet and seeing him always makes me happy. However, he was smart when he did come upstairs, he wore his mask and kept his distance.

This morning, I discovered one of our other foremen - Eddie - might possibly be positive as well. He's sick, he's getting tested. Trouble is, Eddie ALWAYS comes over to see me. He's my buddy and he's called me trouble from the day he met me 22 years ago. LOL Yes, he's been wearing his mask, thankfully, but he doesn't keep 6' away either. But then, Eddie's always had personal space issues. (Reminds me of someone else I know...)

Add to this the information that Rhett (my boss Jeff's son), who started working in the office a few weeks ago, is out today, sick. Jeff says he has 'a little flu, but it's not that'. Sure, okay, is he getting tested? Also, last week, Rhett and Joel were on a jobsite for a meeting and Rhett was talking to one of our guys who tested positive the day after. So, um, Jeff, please tell me he's getting tested, okay?

Anyway, just wanted to get that out of my system so I can focus on other things. On the bright side, my boss, Jeff, must have gone to Utah over the weekend because there was a case of peaches on my desk this morning. The girls will be thrilled.

I hope you're all safe and healthy! So far, so good here. *knocks on wood*

(LMAO, I see you, Spotify, pulling that song up just as I was about to add the music to this post. Zayne says he feels so seen.)

*hugs*. You know we just had a round of testing in our work place. We had the place electrostatically cleaned after. It was an insanely stressful two weeks. My fingers are crossed for you, may the results be swift and negative.

Oh no! Hope you are able to keep healthy!

*keeping fingers crossed*

Hoping your guy does test negative. Had a few scares at Wally World, but so far so good nobody has tested positive.

Happy freaking Monday.

Scary. I just had my first customer call with it. We were out there exactly 2 weeks ago though so we might have missed the window. Taking no chances with my tech though.

So scary! Hope everything comes out negative.

OMG, that is scary, especially since that's a LOT of people at one place of employment. Not sure how many are employed there overall, but honestly that seems like a lot.

We have been so lucky here, and I am so very thankful, but I'm crossing my fingers for you and all those around you! *hugs*

Ugh, alllll the stress. Is there any chance that you can go get tested just to make sure if you tell them that you have been exposed? At least then you could rest easier knowing for sure, one way or the other.
