Aug. 28th, 2020 04:08 pmMy parents went to the contact on Tuesday, and no-one at the cafe checked to see how many households were in the group, so they all just sat together at one table inside. And my sister refused to wear a mask because "I'm alright", and my mum couldn't get through to her that masks are for other people's protection, not her own. But the weather wasn't as bad as predicted, so they managed to have a short break to all go out to a park together. So that was nice, I guess, and we'll see if anything happens because of it in two weeks time.
I successfully took my cat to the vet yesterday. She didn't like the cat carrier (first time she's been in one for about ten years), and as it was so early in the morning we couldn't get a good rhythm of letting her out then calling her back in again. So she weed in the carrier on the way to the vet (she did not like the car either), and pooed in it on the way back. But they clipped her nails, and there was no infection in the ingrown one so there's nothing more that needs doing with that, and the vet and nurse came out afterwards talking about what a lovely cat she is and so friendly to everyone, and <3 They did not say that about our little, half-Lhasa Apso dog when he went for his jabs the other week. She's a very good cat. So it's done with no lasting harm or need for me to pin her down and clean a wound going forward, and it stressed me out but I'm very happy with the outcome.
Still nothing from work, and I'm genuinely curious what's going to happen next. The thing is, apart from everything else happening with the world, we had a building move planned for this autumn/winter, and I can't think of any reason that wouldn't go ahead if it's all been paid for. Apart from anything else, it was to save on space/rent, so it means everyone will be pushed in all together more than they were before. But regardless of that - a lot of people will still be working from home - I can't imagine they're going to want to call people back in now, getting going in the old building, and then move to the new building and get people all set up again there. It might make sense to just leave it until they move to the new building, and I don't remember if that was supposed to be December. Definitely the last quarter of the year. So I don't know. We'll see. For all I know, they've decided they don't need receptionists anymore at all, or not 3 desk-sharing, and my company are just leaving me on the payroll until the furlough scheme runs out. Who knows? But if they do leave me on the furlough scheme then fire me, I've worked out that I have three more paydays before then, so that's something to go on with at least.
