    My county's response to us being exposed to covid on the job. Deal with it and go home if you get exposed on the job and get sick. No support.

    I have 1400 hrs of unused sick leave. Dont play with me.

    not if it's TGI Fridays. I wouldn't eat there in the middle of a bleach storm.

    Even before all this, I can take up to two days without doctors excuse. I am tempted to just do it based the the premise that work circumstances have forced me into the possibility of known contact. Two weeks off paid this month and then a week and a half of vacation next month sounds really good if the illness is relatively mild as it seems to be for most people.

    TGIF has some pretty good hot pretzel sticks with the cheese dipping sauce. Sure it is horrible for you but pretty tasty.

    Today's business plot twist...NYC limits costs from delivery companies like grubhub, door dash, etc.

    Grubhub stock drops.

    Grubhub in talks to be bought by Uber...

    I trust restaurants health and sanitation scores and practices less than I trust folks online-that means the rest of this motley crew too, not just you ;)

    Hard pass on dine in.

    Every TGI Fridays I've ever been in, three, are always sticky. Like every surface in the place is sticky, the table, bar and floor all sticky. Eff that place, gross. And I've been offered "nose beers" in two separate ones from the bartenders. Who even does that crap anymore?

    dear god, GoogleTubes kept playing his garbage after I posted that link. He is apparently 'fire' right now, whatever that means. I just googled "cocaine in the bathroom." Shame on me.

    ...he looks like Pink raped Robert Smith and he had a baby.

    the only times I have been there in the past 10-15 years was whilst traveling for work and in some locales it's the only place serves beer and "food" after 10pm.

    Virginia opening up except for Northern VA. The zipcode in which I spend the most of my time at work has the highest percent of covid in the state. Two days ago I was exposed to fentanyl. I felt safer around that as compared to some of the apartment complexes I walk around in eveey day.
