I don't waste my time getting angry speculating on how many of my Covid patients might have gotten it from being careless. The anger isn't helpful or productive. Similarly, I'm not going to waste emotion on someone who certainly wouldn't do the same (myshelly).
My fatigue: I'm really tired of the self-righteous people reminding me daily on FB that they haven't left their homes since March, almost as much as the anti-maskers. Go about your business, do it as safely as possible.

No. I want you to stop being a giant selfish bitch and keep your heartless covid-ridden asses at home like every decent person is doing right now. You’re selfish scum. Covid-ridden? Lol Maybe take a step back and stop letting her get your goat. There's really no reason for this level of anger. Disney isn't closed, she's not under stay at home orders, assumedly she's following the rules at Disney, and I just don't see the point of all this anger at her. You know how she is yet you keep taking the bait, and I can't imagine you feel any better for it. Yeah, I don't think I'll be taking orders from you on my level of anger. And since I cannot vent my anger at school or in much of my personal life, if she's stepping up to be my target, I do feel better for it. I don't have a choice about being around others, and neither do you. The least others can do to respect our sacrifice is do their best not to infect us. The only reason she's not under an actual order to stay home is because our governor takes his marching orders from Trump. Her county executive has done everything except actually issuing an order because he knows it will be overturned by Abbott. Decent people in hard-hit counties are listening to county guidance and staying home, because our governor, like Trump, has completely abdicated responsibility for covid abatement.

My husband doesn’t get a choice and this is the way he wants to deal with it. If he is forced to risk himself at school, he wants to do fun things, too. He’s not a martyr and the public shouldn’t be forcing teachers into that position.

I am definitely fatigued, more with people than the actual situation of having to pause normal life, but not so fatigued that I would want to spend money on a Disney vacation just now. I mean, really, how much fun could Disney actually be at the moment? Aren’t crazy happy carefree crowds part of its "charm"? Never mind the stigma of having more sensible people looking askance at you for your choices; thanks but no thanks.

Yes, that was totally the point of my whole post. Not your selfishness and short-sightedness. Also, I kind of don’t believe you. I think you lie and make stuff up. Ok There’s really no way for me to convince you. How else do you explain the principal having no problem with DH taking a week off? I think it Is more telling that your husband felt entitled to ask for time off when he knew that it was a bad time. Wasn’t there just thanksgiving break? And Christmas break coming up? And with teachers needing to be out due to being sick, and other stresses within the school right now? My agency has a policy that anyone traveling out of state has to quarantine for two weeks when they come back. I’m surprised that a school wouldn’t have the same policy.

My agency has a policy that anyone traveling out of state has to quarantine for two weeks when they come back. I’m surprised that a school wouldn’t have the same policy. They are entitled to days off per their contract. When you are entitled to something in your employment contract, it is part of your compensation for doing the job. You should take all the compensation you are entitled to. And no, the school has no quarantine policy. The school tells people with positive Covid tests they only get 3 days off 🤣 They absolutely do not gaf about Covid, do not follow any protocols, and do not enforce any policies, which is why we feel safer here than at school.

You post the most elaborate, over the top crap about everything--your house, your Christmas decorations, your nails, your clothes, etc. When you finally back up your ridiculous claims, I'll believe you are real. Until then, I'm pretty comfortable believing you're a troll who lives a life nothing like you describe but likes to get a rise out of people.

I can post a picture of my office right now, and you know what that proves? Since you're a lawyer, this shouldn't surprise you, but it proves...I'm at work. You're so dense sometimes I'm not convinced you're a lawyer, either. You. Are. A. Damn. Troll. You lie to get a rise out of people, and you enjoy doing it. Moving on.

I’m tired of seeing celebs on Facebook travelling to hawaii, the Caribbean and Mexico. It feels like only some of us heard the no non-essential travel guidelines.
It feels like if you’re rich you can go because you charter your own plane. My distant cousin in the states posted a pic of her in Mexico. I don’t know anyone going away for pleasure.

I'm also tired of those who won't wear a mask while they do it. That's my fatigue. That's why I made two posts.

Yeah, I have quarantine fatigue. To combat it, I have taken to reckless supermarket shopping. Rare Irish blue cheese? Sold. Frou frou coffee? Sold. Small batch Irish liqueur from Cork? Sold. Half a kilo of dried porcini? Yup, sold! Life is short so it must be time to try the free range cage free organic dark brown eggs with omega blah blah. No item is too ridiculous to try. I'm like a human packman with food and drink. Apart from the above disorder, we continue to distance, wear masks and stick to our own household. In spite of our efforts, Los Angeles is a cesspool of infection and it is very discouraging. p.s. Try the Nesle Toll House espresso chips...they are delightful

Well I am the former teacher's union president and yes you can string personal days together (we only had 2 for the year) but they had to be approved. The way she was "bragging" made it seem like he was/is some super teacher that was given special treatment.

Jar of artichoke stuff for charcuterie night? Sure, why not. Fancy pants crackers? Yeah, those look good. 4 different frozen Trader Joe's apps even though there are just 2 of us? Definitely. (I would have bought more apps too, but Trader Joe's is an hour away and I only brought a small cooler to keep things frozen on the trip home)

What magical location do you live in where COVID doesn’t exist. Last I checked, it’s a PANDEMIC. That means world wide. I don’t disagree with that. I didn’t say anything to contradict that. All I said was I’m not under a stay at home order. My state has no stay at home order. My husband has to go to work in person, so we can’t stay home anyway 🤷🏻♀️ That makes ZERO sense. I have to go to work in person (in a classroom with students in person) but my family is staying home unless necessary for grocery shopping.

Nope. You’re just a selfish bitch. Not all of us live under stay at home orders and not all of us can completely isolate ourselves and our families at home 24/7. I'm not a selfish bitch because I don't have grocery delivery in my small town and go grocery shopping, nor am I because I have to take my mother to her Dr. appointments and yes I even get my haircut. Yesterday I even went to the DMV because my drivers license needed to be renewed. Do I wear a mask and all that? Absolutely! DH and I try to be careful and so far no covid for either of us. I don't consider doing NECESSARY things (groceries, DMV, medical) being a bitch. I consider those things important for life. Amusement parks, zoos, movies, bowling alleys, etc... NOT necessary at all and can be not visited for a time in order to squash this shit.

We just got warnings on our phones - no more Mr. Nice Guy, no more chances. We will be heavily fined for not respecting mandates. They are thinking of shutting our province down completely during Christmas for two weeks. We've already had restaurants closed since September.

Because my next door neighbor, who works st Disney, shops in the same grocery store as me? So while you feel safe, my state is a raging dumpster fire of increasing cases and there are no rules here either. But you are interacting with me, and if you are spreading the germs, I’m in your path too. The teacher who works at your local school (that has less safety measures than Disney) shops at your grocery store, too. Worry about that as much as you worry about Disney and then I’ll care. You are making zero sense.

How else do you explain the principal having no problem with DH taking a week off?Remove a possible spreader from campus close to Christmas so that people can not get sick before christmas? I'm SUPER glad he's really "popular" because that's what makes adults successful. You know, like football team captain and his cheerleader girlfriend. How cute! (vomit) I really wish you cared about people besides yourself. Maybe you do in real life but I doubt it.
