ARGH

So, I get to work this morning and discover that Joel is the only one here.

I knew Ralph was going to be gone since he's on vacation until after New Years. Rhett was out Thursday and Friday because he was sick, so it was possible he wouldn't be here either. But Tim should have been. So, color me surprised when Joel tells me Tim tested positive for COVID-19 this morning.

Fuck my actual life.

Which would likely explain why Rhett is so sick. His dad, Jeff, is taking him (Rhett) to get tested. I just got back from getting mine done.

And now I wait to see whether my boss' goddamned trip to Mexico was worth it for him or not. We do wear masks in the office, but they're not fool proof, especially since Tim's is always falling down and he's having to pull it back up. If I wind up positive, I am going to hurt someone.

Anyway, how's your Monday going? LMAO.

ETA: One of my coworkers (James no less, LMAO), just came into the office with the sole purpose of checking on me and my emotional state. He said he knew how hard the holidays were the first couple years. So, that made me feel good because he's a great guy, but not one I'd have predicted to say that.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but think about getting retested in a few weeks, just in case! I've heard of people here testing negative in isolation (coming into NZ it's mandatory for them to be in government-controlled isolation for two weeks and getting tested three times in that period) but then testing positive later.

In other news: MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎅

That's not being a Debbie Downer, that's being practical. And it's definitely a good idea.

Thanks - you guys as well!
