My brother in law's best friend from high school has just been moved to ICU and put on a ventilator. 62, about 100 pounds overweight, oxygen level 72%. Massive Trump lover that posted 8 weeks ago that although he thinks the virus is real, he's not afraid, it is all exaggerated to destroy Trump,  and is not going to let it stop him living life. Well... looks like COVID is going to get the last laugh on him. What a nincompoop.

Here's a couple who made lemonade out of lemons after they had to call off their wedding due to the virus - and touched countless lives in the process. God bless them!! ❤

Another day, another person I had to almost put out for not wearing a mask to order. In the tradition of the 'jalapano' story I mentioned...today this person (actually I wonder if it was the same person)...wanted to argue over his order cuz he couldn't wear a mask right. He actually walked in and PULL IT DOWN TO ORDER. When I pointed out that he could not do that in there, he wanted to say he know that (so why pull it down when you been here before and yes I said that to? Make it make sense.) I also pointed out the signs on the door so he wanted to YELL after that, 'tried' to curse me out, and then called me a pedophile.

 

Most of my co-workers know that when RHOA is airing is usually when my shade is sharpest so he was professionally (didn't even rise my voice) gathered. Either come in and order like a normal person WITH A MASK or GET OUT. It is that simple. And I said so. We are all tired of this pandemic and if all one can do when we are currently in the midst of a stay at home order is to clown to have something to do, he could walk right back out that door. Otherwise answer the question I ask (was it okay for the condiments I had asked). As for pedophile, he got told to not talk about himself.

His friend had to finish his order. 

 

And I never lost my cool with the other people after him who were being a bit...hmmm...catty? Smile on my face. My boss asked if I needed a moment. No, I said. I had enough of non-maskers making my job harder when December is my busy time at all of my jobs. Since I expect it to be hard, I am almost always Grace Under Pressure for the work team around me. I have to be on point. I stay on point. He can go have a moment with his 'calling someone a pedophile cuz you don't want the smoke I can actually throw but CHOOSE not to' self.

    • Throwing this out to the universe: finding Elisabeth Shue's episode of As the World Turns (which I guess would have been circa 1983, maybe just before RDJ started watching Search for Tomorrow).

    • I thought today was still good. Leo is always awful, but the characters treating him like he's a plague feeds my soul. Rafe in particular had been very passive about him, but today was wonderful seeing him put Leo on notice. I really think it's being written that Javi is going to have to eventually take the blinders off and see Leo for who he really is. Them having sex on Gabi's desk made me want to explode. Roman taking in stray Doug was nice to see. And the mention of Frankie and Max was unexpected, but good to know they're at least being thought of. Tate being petty and a bit vindictive by going back to Sophia's as soon as he saw Doug with Holly was entertaining for me. I think I actually like Tate the most out of all of them because he's so damn messy.  Is Holly about to be kidnapped? Her first time? Also, Gabi finally revealing what happened with her the night EJ was shot and the clearing of all the other main suspects, but Johnny made this still feel like an important episode. I think Johnny will be cleared soon enough leaving everybody at a loss for the hell shot EJ. How the real shooter will be revealed is going to be interesting.  Speculation: When Kristen finally puts together that her daughter Rachel shot him, she'll agree to frame her mother for the crime, while keeping her hidden away from Salem.
    • That would have saved the Anita singing segment -- having her by herself, singing quietly and reflectively. Belting it out like she was in church did not work. The black screens fade at the end was a mistake. BTG insists on being different with these fades for the sake of being different, and it's not working.   I thought all of that was just fine. Worked for me.   I'm going to disagree with this. Martin hasn't had many scenes with his parents, but he's been around family A LOT -- and that's what matters. We also know Martin is someone with a hair trigger response. He can be very emotional when discussing an issue before getting to the logic and reason of it all.  
    • My view of Evan is that he's smart but not as smart as he thinks he is, not a good guy but not an entirely bad guy - he's a lot of things, the show never quite knowing what to do with them. I never saw him as Iris' follower because Iris always seemed a bit in over her head from the start. 
    • She was the Town Historian, who knew a bit too much about Brandon and the infamous cottage.  SF was still a pretty normal place at that time, with Nola and Reva being the most outrageous citizens....seems that Carrie Pipper would have stood out a bit more for people.

    • Yes, I need to dot hat. Also on my list talking to the person I got these files from since they clearly have a mess, in terms of dates being wrong. And, unfortunately finding one date wrong, automatically means more are wrong, too. 
    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
