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.)

So scary! Hope everything comes out negative.

Thanks. :) Eddie says he's feeling better, his temp is down, but he went and got tested anyway. These poor guys, I feel for them.

Hope it's still looking up.

We're waiting for Momo's test to come back, but at least she doesn't live with us.

Unfortunately, Eddie tested positive as well as like three others. But he's feeling better at least, so that's something.

Hopefully it comes back negative.

That is good. I have to go get tested tomorrow again. (I assume since I was out today.)

It did. Or at least she said it did.

Clearly I suck at answering comments.

Now we're working round two with the COVID cases. Hoping that you're negative!

I've been negative every time I get tested. And now I'm vacinated.

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear. I'm half-vaxxed, I get my second shot on 5/15.

I wanna get the vaxx bracelets, but later.
