And here we go again, another weekend almost over. And one that is an hour shorter.

Earlier my FWA posted something and complained about cancel culture. Now as I have said before, I am no fan of cancel culture. But for some inexplicable reason, when something that I don't care for pisses off people that I don't care for, I get a jolly out of it. Especially when they get so goddamn offended over it. I mean some people really come apart at the seams, like it actually personally affects them. Like just gripe it about a handful of times and then STFU. Also, if anyone needs cancelling, it's my FWA, for being so offensively stupid.

The other day my manager was sitting at the lunch table once again reading, and the gruesome twosome started talking away. At one point I seen my manager look up at the ceiling, like she was starting to get annoyed. But did she get up and say anything? Oh heaven forbid! Do we want the earth to fall off its axis?!

That former coworker I talked about the other day all of a sudden is on a roll with bitching about Biden. Let me get this straight- she constantly posts memes praising Chump and bashing Biden, and then in another post will post memes that condemn people for acting stupid during the pandemic. I mean....she does realize that Chump is a big part of the reason why people are acting stupid? Well, apparently not. Then again, this is someone who constantly posts about RIL she is, and I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.

On another note- it's been a month since my second shot. I'm still here!

Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE'S GONE! THE ORANGE NIGHTMARE IS NO LONGER PRESIDENT!

Although we're status post Christmas, never a more perfect time to post this: 

Gesu Maria Giuseppe

People....for the love of God....what in the love of all that is holy do we even call that despicable chaotic nightmare that went on in the Capitol Building today?

I gotta hand it to Chump, because there is one thing that he excelled at- making America look like a giant ass to the rest of the world. And he not only did it extremely bigly once (the Covid response), but he did it extremely bigly twice with this nightmare of an election.

Cripes, I am not looking forward to this week, although I went 15 weeks of being furloughed, then went back to work and made out just fine. Hell, I went years of not working and went back to work and made out just fine. So, I will survive, but that doesn't mean I won't still bitch and moan about it.

We have a new person starting tomorrow. I can't wait until the first time she does something less than perfect and my coworkers start ripping her apart behind her back. I mean, they're all so perfect, doncha know?

I was just listening to "Fortunate Son' by CCR and it reminded me of an article I read a few weeks ago in which John Fogerty criticized Chump for using it. I mean, really, is Chump that stupid to not even realize what the song is about? Another thing that makes me laugh is how much my grandfather hated Clinton for not serving in Vietnam. He blames Clinton for his son (my uncle) dying in Vietnam. Yet he is a Chumper. Chump of the five deferments. Captain Bone Spurs. The logic, I just can't.

I'm getting so sick and tired of hearing that damn man whine and cry about election fraud. Jesus God, just face it already - people hate you! We no like you! GO AWAY.

Trump is the most admired man in 2020, beating Obama, who's held the top spot on the Gallup list for the past 12 years

Usually it doesn't take long for the post-holiday blues to start kicking in on Christmas day, but for some reason this year it was a delayed reaction. I don't know if it was due to the complete chaos (although that's a pretty standard thing for any holiday in this household) or the damper the whole Covid pandemic has put on basically everything this year, or what the heck it was. But it's coming, oh my yes. Then you go on the internet and you see gazillions of headlines of how the worst of the pandemic is yet to come, it's going to be a dark winter, predictions are grim, etc, etc....and how are you supposed to feel any better?

I don't understand why people are so anxious to say goodbye to 2020. Yes, it was a horrendous year, but when that clock strikes midnight on Thursday, guess what? Covid is still going to be here. It's not going to just magically spontaneously combust and go away, even though that would be like the greatest thing ever right now. Nope, it'll still be here gracing us with its little spiky ass, wreaking havoc.

And being able to get the vaccine, that cannot come quick enough. Although I am getting to a point where I'm not even sure if having the vaccine is going to help my anxiety levels much, although I do believe my anxiety levels won't be nearly as bad as they are not being vaccinated. I was somewhat hesitant on getting it before, but I can't take it anymore. I just want this to go away. Lord knows what kind of side effects it could cause in the future, but I just don't even care anymore. I'm not having kids, so I don't have to worry about any effects in that aspect, no mutants or flipper babies (IT WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF FLIPPER BABIES!!!)

I was reading an article the other day profiling people who have died from the virus and the entire time I read the article, I could feel my blood pressure rising. All of these people died needlessly, yet every single asshole in the Chump administration who have caught the virus through every fault and stupidity of their own managed to survive it. Where is the justice? Yes, I know life is unfair, but come on. This is just rotten.

And one of the things that tore at my soul the most reading the profiles were the loved ones saying how scared the deceased person was when they were sick. That bothered me. A lot. Reading about these people only fuels me in wanting to get the vaccine. Do it for them. Because they didn't get a chance.

I also want it to protect myself from my asshole coworkers. All I want is an answer to why they feel so sure of themselves that they aren't carrying the virus. Is it arrogance? Stupidity? Both? And I also want to know why one person cannot have the decency to put a damn mask on when they're talking to me. You see me with one on, have some damn respect. And I shouldn't have to demand it. Just do it. Have some sense.

Last-ditch effort to throw election to Trump quashed by Supreme Court

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's an idea- STOP worrying about the election, ACCEPT that no one likes your orange ass, and make yourself somewhat useful in controlling this damn pandemic already!

Ugh

I checked my county's dashboard of Covid cases for the day....almost 400 were reported today. I almost simultaneously had a stroke and heart attack. Our numbers were never even close to that back in the spring when Jersey was getting slammed. I don't even know if we ever hit 200 in a single day back then.

I'm dreading the holidays coming and then ending more than ever this year. Winter is hard enough to deal with. And it's not that I mind being in a lockdown and having to stay home. It's having to deal with the dreary long cold winter, with having to worry about a fucking virus on top of it. 

I was reading an article the other day about how in Texas prisoners are being paid to move dead bodies until the National Guard come in. There were pictures of the makeshift trailer morgues and just rows of white sheets covering bodies. I closed the article and felt like a hole had been shot through my soul. All of those unnecessary deaths. And what's our dear leader worried about? Golfing, whining, and suing. I hope Satan is building a special level of hell for him and everyone in his administration.

193,000 confirmed cases in the US yesterday. I'm afraid to even see what today's numbers are.

I often see people who are against mask wearing saying they're not sheep, etc. Okay, so maybe we mask wearers are, but who are the ones that believe every single thing that comes out of an obese orange sack of shit? Y'all follow everything that lying pile of shit says. Just like sheep. Just like us!

Another reason I can't wait for this administration to be gone is I can't wait until we don't have to see that damn press secretary's face anymore. My God, does she have a punchable face. Oh I'll never lie! And all she's done is LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE *breathes* LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE. 

And going back to my coworkers. That day we had the meeting regarding the new rules, my manager made some remark about not coming to work sick and we all know better anyway. Oh really? My coworkers rarely miss work if they're sick. And yes, even I am guilty of it, although most of the time I've went to work sick was either post-nasal drip or a sinus infection. I did go to work with the flu that time a few years ago, although in my defense I had no idea that is what I had until I was tested at the weekend. But these people will come to work with fevers, vicious coughs, and confirmed illnesses. Also, I can't wait until Thanksgiving is over (not really). I have no idea where these assholes are going to be, but I'm sure they're going to go about their business like nothing is going on in the world. So YAY, now I'll have that to worry about!

I've made it this far in the pandemic without having a nervous breakdown, although when our numbers started improving, my anxiety did as well. That is no longer the case. And considering this looks like it's going to be really bad, well, I don't know what's going to happen. I'll either trudge through it again or completely lose it.

Going back to Chump....let's discuss his "downplaying" of the virus. He likes to "downplay" it. What he is doing isn't downplaying, it's flat out LYING AND DENYING. Oh, it's going to go away. Oh, we're turning a corner. How long have we been hearing those phrases? And where are we right now? Over 10 million total cases. A mind-boggling 144,000 new cases yesterday. An even more mind-boggling 240,000+ deaths. California and Texas now have over a million cases. We flattened our curve in Joisey and now our numbers are blowing up again. Yeah, we're really turning a fucking corner here in the USA!

And what's the asshole doing now? Pissing, moaning, and sulking because he didn't win the election (gee, why EVER could that be). I honestly won't be the least bit surprised if he stops doing any presidential duties from now on, he's that much of a sore loser. He doesn't give a shit about anyone. I don't understand why his supporters can't understand that. Chump doesn't give a shit about anyone but Chump.

I've been on a clean-cation this week. Apparently I have a lot of time accumulated (I was under the impression I would lose time while I was furloughed, but apparently we're given the opportunity now to make it up), so I took off this week to CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. Not what most people would consider a good and/or normal way to spend time off, but it's not like I have much of a life, especially now with the pandemic. And I don't mind cleaning. Totally not looking forward to going back to work on Monday, though.

I didn't doubt for one second that Chump was going to act like a complete and utter prick if he didn't win the election, but JFC, this is getting ridiculous. He didn't win, so it's automatically a crooked election? GTFOH. I'm so goddamn sick of that evil bastard and his evil bastard family. GO AWAY. 

And I'm so sick of this damn virus. And I'm sick of hearing everyone complain about how sick of it they are and they are just going to live their lives. Do you think the virus gives a fuck that we're tired of it? No. No, it does not! A Facebook friend posted some meme one day about not living your life in fear and just have the holidays because you never know if it will be someone's last. That's all fine and dandy and true to a point....but you can also make it someone's last by having the holidays and being or someone else being unknowingly infected! JFC, what do people not understand about ASYMPTOMATIC CASES???

And my coworkers....they're really starting to piss me off. Since our numbers are going up in Joisey, we've got some new rules in work. And the day it was announced, we had a group meeting and of course, it turned into a joke fest and everyone just laughing it all off. I work with quite a few people who are not what I would call particularly healthy, so perhaps maybe they should be taking it more seriously. Most are overweight, obese territory. Hypertension. The miserable old bitch is over 65, has diabetes, and had a heart attack last year. And unsurprisingly, she's the one that brushes it off the most. And most days when someone comes back to talk to me or sits near me, I feel like screaming WOULD IT KILL YOU TO PUT ON A FUCKING MASK?! 

I've had times where coworkers have asked me if I want them to put one on. I shouldn't have to be asked! Be respectful and just goddamn do it! It's not a nice thing to say by any means, but I've often said that if I were asymptomatic and passed it onto my coworkers, I would have a very hard time feeling bad about it.

I've been having a meltdown for the past couple of days because I ate in a restaurant on Saturday night. I've been on hyperalert. I wasn't happy about doing it, although I did my best to stay vigilant, e.g. kept my hands clean, didn't touch my face, kept a mask on the entire time except when eating or drinking. The million dollar question, the question I am constantly asking myself....was it enough? 

I can feel a headache brewing since earlier this evening and even though I've been getting them in relation to my cycle (I'm due for my period any day now) since long before Covid ever came around, I still can't help but worry. Having health-related anxiety and OCD during a pandemic is an absolute bitch.

Donald And Melania Trump Are Both Experiencing “Mild Symptoms” After Testing Positive for COVID-19

Good God

Went down the shore today. Now I know that Cape May county is a pretty red county, but good God, driving it through it today....Chump signs everywhere. Chump signs as far as the eye can see.

Random Thoughts

Is there ever going to be an end in sight to this damn pandemic? I'm beyond over it, as I am sure plenty of others are. I will forever wonder how bad it would have been in this country had we had someone competent in charge and not some vile pathological lying fat pussbag. 

And then these damn anti-maskers. I can't with them. Really, I want someone to explain to me how wearing a piece of material across your face is taking away MAH FREEDUMB and MAH RIGHTS, because I'm really failing to see how it does so. I don't know about anyone else, but I put mine on and then I go about my business. I go to the store, I go to work, etc. I do almost everything I did before, and the only reason I say almost is because there are things I am in no hurry to do and that's not because of wearing a mask. 

I wonder how many of these anti-maskers are good wittle Christians. Do you really think Jesus would have had a problem wearing a mask? I'm far from religious nowadays, but from what I recall from my days of CCD of what he did for humanity, I can't imagine the son of God having an issue with it. 

On another note....how is it September already? This year has only been a few centuries long.

Quote Of The Day

From the Palast Report email I received today:

"I get it: You’re stunned you elected an orange-stained, gelatinous bag of malicious mendacity, a snorting porcine pustule of bloviating bigot hinged to grasping little griplets, a bloated ball of gracelessness and cry-baby petulance as President of the United States."

I don't think I have ever heard Chump described so perfectly. Well done, Mr. Palast. 

The Stupid Of The Day

Trump on coronavirus testing: ‘If we stopped testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any’

Article Of The Day

The comments are priceless:

'I had to go through it': Trump says he was a 'victim' of the COVID-19 test and referred to it as 'an operation'

Fucking Hell

I know I've been assured that my job is going to be there for me when this is all over, but I still can't help but feel salty over being furloughed. Especially wondering who was NOT furloughed. 

I watch Litton's Weekend Adventure every weekend and at one point, a news brief broke in with Governor Murphy announcing the latest Covid-19 rate (34,124), as well as 200 new deaths. And then he started to read some of the names of the deceased and I started to cry so hard. I just felt so bad. All completely unnecessary deaths. I don't doubt that Covid would have came to the country regardless, but it should have been handled a hell of a lot better than how that evil incompetent piece of shit in office handled it.

I've hated Chump since the day he was sworn into office, but I don't think I could possibly hate someone more than I hate him right now. Except maybe that little shit Jared. Stupid little fucking prick. I hope the entire family rots in the deepest levels of hell. The only person I feel [slightly] sorry for is Barron, poor kid is surrounded by nothing but piss-poor male role models.

Five days later....still reeling from the election.

I cannot believe this man is going to be our president. And even more I cannot believe the amount of idiots I know who voted for him. And so many are men with daughters. How would they feel if someone talked about their daughters the way Trump talked about women in that video? Oh I bet that would be a a whole other story. I'm so glad they can look past his blatant disrespect for women, minorities, religions, etc in general. Then again, with the amount of hatred I see being spewed on Facebook since the election, it really should not surprise me.

You never really know people until you friend them on Facebook.

Was I particularly happy that Clinton was our candidate? Not necessarily. I voted for the Bernster in the primaries. And I understand that a lot of his supporters were pissed about the whole DNC thing, because it was bull. But I would be damned if I voted for Trump.

Red president, red House, red Senate....I don't want to be a woman right now.

I'm not looking forward to this week in work, thanks to my manager allowing my FWA to have off the entire week. When I left work in Thursday, the workload wasn't looking so good. There was still quite a bit that needed to be done. I had off Friday, so I don't know how much work got done. I dread what I'm going into tomorrow. I swear, if I have to do any overtime this week, while my wallet will appreciate it with the holidays right around the corner, I will be beyond pissed off.

If I could ever have off and go back to work feeling relaxed, it would be a fucking miracle.
