So true.
Anyway here is my contribution to this week's Three on Thursday.
1. This is a legitimate conversation that occurred during our dept staff meeting this a.m.
Supervisor: There's a good chance that we will soon all be asked to work from home due to coronavirus concerns.
Me: I can't do my job from home
Supervisor: Everyone should find some things that they could work on if they can't be in the building.
Me: Again, I can't work from home. At all.
Supervisor: Maybe you could use vacation or sick time.
Me: That's not really fair since others will not have to do that.
Supervisor: Well, then try to work from home.
And ... [scene].
2. Yesterday I had to go to the eye dr for a follow up to an appt a couple of weeks ago (I have pretty severe allergic conjunctivitis all of a sudden), and also to get my new eyeglass frames with my new prescription lenses. When I put them on, it was truly amazing to realize how much better I was able to see. I had thought things were not that great, but apparently things had changed more drastically than I realized! The dr said I probably just got used to the way things looked before, and my eyes adjusted as well as they could. Which reminded me of one of my mother's sayings: "You get used to hanging if you hang long enough." (Not comforting, but true.)
3. I have decided to try and learn to crochet (yet again) so that I can try to make a stripey, crocheted blanket. I'm optimistic that now that YouTube exists, I might have some success. I've taken classes in the past, but there was always a group of us and I am left-handed, so it never really worked. And I've never been one who "gets" instructions from illustrations in books. Once someone shows me something and I understand it, then the book illustrations are good refreshers, but starting there has never been successful. In the past when I have tried, YouTube did not exist and/or I did not have a computer, so now that we have 20th century technology available at home, I think I should give it another try. :-)

I always get a jolt when I clean my glasses. It's a whole new world.
So... that means you get to be home, but still get paid right (without having to use vacay/sick time)... that's what it sounds like to me! (Or it should, in a fair world).
Thank you for your sensitivity, there, Supervisor. Sheesh.
Poor, poor T-Rex.
Oh boy. I am sorry for all your things! (and I can't help with crochet, sorry... I am right handed and I dont get it!)
Wait...do you mean you can't work from home? Ugh! ;)
Good for you for re-learning how to crochet. I just found my crochet hook in the basement when we were cleaning up yesterday. After a few seconds deliberation, I threw it in the trash. No more crocheting for me!
maybe just thinking about work is good enough. You should not use vacation or sick time, jeez.
My son is a Lefty, and I understand vicariously your predicament. But even as a righty, crochet is a no-go for me. I can't comfortably hold the working yarn.
That T-rex graphic is too funny!
