Diets, Decaf & Other Dubious Deeds

I work now through Tuesday. One of the cooks will return Wednesday and I will be off then. Hopefully. I was wiped out yesterday. Some of the prep was done. Some not so I had to get that done before I could leave. I ended up going to bed fairly early. I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I went on to bed around 11:20 last night. Our weekends we will have a lead that doesn't do her work so we have to do some of it for her if we want to get anything done. That ticks me off. I try not to do it. I don't wanna make her mad by saying anything either. If we don't then supper trayline would be super late getting started and we'd get yelled at for not helping. It's messed up. Some folks in there don't do jack. And of course the other cook won't lift a finger to help. He says we shouldn't have to do her job. Oh well...that's food service for ya.

I might see you guys later. Depends on how I feel after work. Have a good day!
 

Another Monday has arrived and I have an awful day ahead of me at work. I'm taking my temp to make sure I'm not fevering or anything.

I don't understand with a deadly pandemic why people would want to go to restaurants or see ball teams gather to play contact sports. Why would people willing risk their lives to go out into this mess or expect others to? It doesn't make sense to me at all.

Anyway...have a great day.

I don't understand it, too, but I maybe some people feel like they'll go insane if they don't do something normal, like dine out or whatever.
I wish I could take Collin to the zoo :cry:. But I'm sure I won't go insane over their gates being locked, tho.
Wellll maybe a little 🤪.

How did your visit end with Collin? Did he manage to leave ok or was it a scene? That poor little thing.
 
One last day to muddle through then I can rest for a day. Yay! I don't know if I'll be on tonight. It depends on how I feel when I get off work. I hafta get gas on the way home. Then I'm probably going to stay awake long enough to eat a little something then head to bed. We'll see. If I don't see you all later then have a great Wednesday.
 
Today's numbers:
The total for the county is now 3,369, with 1,394 cases that are actively being monitored by the Health Department. The total number of recoveries for County is now at 1,930. The Health Department also reported 2 additional death Monday, bringing the total number to 45 in County. There have been 9,334 negative tests countywide.
 
Today was awful. We have gone beyond 30 COVID trays again. Everyday there's a hundred plus more cases. I hate to see what January is going to bring.

I'm feeling a little better today. Sick of drinking Alka Seltzer though.

I'm ticked because McDonald's brought back the McRib in the middle of the PANDEMIC!
 
COVID-19 Has Killed More Than 300,000 Americans As Vaccinations Begin | HuffPost

Even with progress on the vaccine, the coronavirus continues to kill people at an alarming rate of over 2,400 deaths per day nationwide.

The U.S. hit another grim milestone with over 300,000 people now dead from COVID-19.
The disease continues to spread at alarming rates across the country, reaching a record last week of over 3,000 dead from the virus in a single day. More than 16.2 million Americans have been infected this year and an average over 2,400 people are dying each day.

The disease continues to spread at alarming rates across the country, reaching a record last week of over 3,000 dead from the virus in a single day. More than 16.2 million Americans have been infected this year and an average over 2,400 people are dying each day.

Even with progress on vaccine production and distribution, CDC head Robert Redfield has warned that, at the rate the virus is currently spreading, another 150,000 Americans could be dead from COVID-19 by February.

Just as an aside there was this article from Dec 2, 2020
CDC Head Says 180,000 More Americans Could Die From COVID-19 By February | HuffPost
 
I now have my coffee and I added a little snort of whiskey to it this morning. I figure I'm done for the day and I don't work today so I'm gonna chill. *Hehe*
 
This was a quote from another forum on COVID that I found interesting...

There are people who continue to minimize the harm done by covid 19 in this country.

I thought a statistical comparison might help some put this in a proper perspective.

We have now lost 303,000 Americans due to this disease. All this has happened in about nine months.

By way of comparison, we lost 291,000 Americans in World War due to combat deaths. All deaths in World War II, combat and non-combat related, were 405,000. World War II happened over a three year, six month period from December 7, 1941 through May 8, 1945. Historians are still writing books about this war seventy-five years after its end.

No matter what is done by way of vaccination, we are easily going to reach 400,000 deaths in this country before this plague is over. Nor does what I am describing even begin to elucidate the problems this disease leaves in its wake with those who have survived. We are going to deal with thousands of survivors with respiratory and other problems that our healthcare system will have to treat at an enormous cost. You will hear for the rest of your life about new treatments that have to be developed for covid 19 survivors. You will hear years from now about people getting double lung transplants because their lungs finally gave out due to damage that occurred during the covid 19 crisis.

This is and will be a worse event for our country than World War II was.
 
I'm fairly certain that my schedule for tomorrow has already changed. One of the girls might not be in so my day may get split up. I may be the fry cook till 2 and then cashier till close. I've only had 2 days of training as the cashier and I'm not comfortable trying to do the money drawer but will if they need me to. All one can do is try. The lady that trained me confused the hell out of me so I've been trying to get a 3rd day of training in with the other gal.

Work is a real mess right now with all this COVID stuff. I may not get another vacation till this is over. That alone is pretty stressful.
