sailors fighting in the dance hall

Today was the quarterly Town Hall at work, which meant going into a team meeting with the entire department at the Mothership. My first time there. I got lost. And I never did figure out how the passcards work.

It's days like today that make me wonder if I really am from fucking Mars.

There are thousands of people working in that building. The floor I was on was crammed solid - people sitting in rows and rows of desk, chairs jammed shoulder to shoulder. I was the only one in a mask.

They served snacks and coffee over break, my boss wanders by. "Aren't you having any coffee?" Um. I'm wearing a silicon sheath over the entire lower half of my face, do i look like I'm going to have a coffee?

This is where I start wondering if I'm the one who's crazy. How can it just be me?

Ugh, I thought that one was un-paywalled since it didn’t bring one up for me either of the two times I looked at it.

I use this to get around paywalls when needed. https://txtify.it/

Sorry, I wasn't kvetching at you, I just find NYT totally random about whether or not they block their site.

Thank you for that link! I will definitely be bookmarking that site.
