The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVI

Her boss responded at 9 am today (holy crap, talk about incompetence), telling my fiancee to go to the office and work. No instructions on where in the office her station has been relocated, the last time we were by there, there was someone else working in her old space. No indication if the office had been cleaned and sanitized, other than 'please be sure to wear a mask outside of your work area'. and no indication if are even masks for her to wear.

I told her that if the other lady in the office even clears her throat, LEAVE.


She's going to call her primary care physician and try to get a note saying she's to work from home because of her asthma.

Some of our doctors who work in the hospital had their office areas turned into Covid patient areas. Yesterday there were 6 Covid pt's there. Their offices are on the same floor, but moved down the hallways. I refuse to go there.
