My new team mate finishes her training as of today, she is with me tomorrow. I have a team of I.T. and "removalists" with sac trucks moving our pc's and desk drawers to the opposite side of the building and up 1 floor. Everything "work item" is audited and has to remain with your (computers, monitors, desk phones, floor drawers). I am going to feel this tomorrow ugh..
I disinfected the new office space too with "spray and wipe" too. WHoever was there last (it's been empty about 2 years) were pigs - untidy and just left cr@p everywhere.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

We're not going to be able to attend the funeral for my grandmother. We've gone into lockdown here, the service is a city away and the only person who was able to make it up was my father. There was just too much going on down here for us to leave. He has his father and his siblings, but he is going to be otherwise alone delivering the eulogy for his mother. We can't be there for him. Not physically. The funeral is expected to be this Friday. We're not out of lockdown until Sunday. This has been different from other circumstances in the past, as we knew from the outset this was coming. We knew for a number of years. There was time to prepare, grow used to the idea and accept it. Nevertheless, on some level, there's quite a bit of anger there. Anger at not being able to be there when it's most important. I can't say I blame them. The hardest part now isn't grieving, but not being given the space to help loved ones grieve. We've been in this situation before and we're now in it again. It's not easy. That’s awful, Wolfie. We’re on day 4 of our quarantine after saying farewell to my wife’s father. It has completely disrupted our lives and crushed a lot of the plans I had for this term but I can’t imagine how my wife would have coped without being there. Again, my condolences to you and yours.

Thanks. We're faring okay, I think. Everyone seems to be keeping on top of it. Ironically, despite the grief it's causing us, the lockdown has given us space to unpack these emotions and deal with them. It's just hard not being able to support people when they need you. Still... It's not forever. It's just for now.

I am sorry. This sucks, I imagine it is incredibly hard. One of my colleagues died during our first lockdown, and funerals were forbidden, so we could not say good bye, but for relatives it is a whole other dimension. I am so very sad about all that is happening.

Ah, the joy of moving office. Hurray. I hope you make it through it with your sanity intact and hopefully the day does not end too late.
The people who were there before- is this some vindication against your team? In my case at work, the people moving out were "unhappy" that they had to leave the nice big bright big window office so they expressed their displeasure (the moved to the dark side of the building) by leaving a mess which took us a whole afternoon to clean up and we left work late at night.

I'm sorry that happened, that's definitely rough. I'm very attached to a lot of mine. I'd find that situation quite difficult if it were me. A very Australian thing, I've discovered is to try and find silver linings in the most hideous of situations. Part of our gallows humour. When a laugh isn't appropriate, try to find something to smile at. A friend can sit down beside you in the rain, a stray branch launch through the air, rip through the canopy of the umbrella... And the response would be, "Well, at least it's not blocking the view anymore." It's a bit silly, but then, I think people despair otherwise. We were very fortunate in that we knew it was coming and, distinctively, she knew it was coming, as well. There was time to prepare and consider what happened next, so there are no unfinished conversations from what I knew. Everything important to say, already was. What was it Spock said to his younger self, over his sehlat, I-Chaya? Mourn the death, celebrate the life? We get too caught up in the first sometimes, we forget the second. I'm trying to remember the second.

Nah it was the old Human Resources office area-they moved out of there about 2 years ago- it was a dumping ground for chairs and desk drawers and there was a huge roll of carpet there for some reason!.

Made: The cosmic scales are rebalancing after my ant horror the other day....at work this morning, two hours into my shift and it's pretty plain that it'll be a slow day. Then one of the site coordinators comes around taking names of people who'd be interested in going home for the day (with full day's pay) and then picking three out of a hat. I was one of the lucky three, so my work day is done and it's not even 11 o'clock!

In my family, high cholesterol is hereditary, so I also have been on tablets since I was 30 years old. Per se nothing to beat yourself up about.

I've been on BP meds for a decade, since my separation. It sucks, but they keep you healthy, and it could be much worse. Glad you're in the clear for diabetes, I have to be careful with that as well. I hope things start to get better for you, Simon.
