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.)

Yeah. They keep telling me that there are over three hundred people employed at my store, but I call bullshit because I only see the same ones over and over again, plus it takes forever to get a day's work done.

Yeah...happy, happy, joy, joy.

I don't know why this has me laughing, but I am. I do feel your pain. There are five of us in the office and yet I'm the only one able to answer a damn phone. Not the same but... I get it. :D

Well, it's almost noon here now so that's half the day down.
