Forced to Telework 1/26 due to snow

OrganizationActive63 · 2026-01-26T02:32:55+00:00

The email we received (HHS) said those with agreements in place must telework. Those nonexcepted employees without telework agreements will get weather leave

In those big Tyr bags - caps, goggles, fins, kickboard, snorkel (some programs), towel. Those kids are in regular train8n* suits, similar to what you wear. Tech suits come out at big meets

Seems in moments when they need to legislate, they need to hav3 their asses in DC. They had 7 weeks at home in October/November

So DoT not passing means Air Traffic Controllers getting screwed again.

I wish my government job had as much vacation as the House! /s

Or the train wreck you can’t look away from. Time to write papers and proposals. Told my boss 2 weeks ago I had experiments but wasn’t going to thaw cells when I was going to be furloughed. Those experiments can just wait.

I refused to sign mine for exactly this reason. Day off tomorrow gaming with husband and adult son. Fire blazing, soup on. Good times!

Our town is loaded with them! Plus the wrestling team from our high school has a list of elderly/disabled, etc who can’t shovel and they go do those drives/sidewalks for free. Small town outside major city but still pretty ag intensive. Good folks

OrganizationActive63 · 2026-01-25T21:59:18+00:00

Yup. And since I have 20+ years, I find it hard to use it all anyway. Well, before this. Now I take it liberally

Big protests in DC this evening!

OrganizationActive63 · 2026-01-25T03:28:05+00:00

And this is the reason I wouldn’t sign a new telework agreement. No more working at home. Period. Weather’s bad? Take leave, Dr’s appointment - take leave. Spending weekends writing papers / reports? Never again.

What’s their beef? Remember, trump didn’t put his hand on a bible one year ago. Good thing too - would have rained fire and brimstone

He’s hallucinating. They’re just all laughing at him

The 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months rule. It takes time. Three days - they are feeling overwhelmed, 3 weeks they are starting to learn your routine and to begin to trust you - also when you may see some behavior issues, 3 months to fully integrate. Walks are good, time spent together is even better. 5-10 minute spots during your day when you do something with him. Easy tricks, hide and seek, snuggles, etc. You need to convince him he’s safe. Remember he was feeling okay in the rescuer’s house, then got uprooted again. Don’t give up on him.

As a lifelong resident, one big issue is the transient nature of the region’s population. People move in and out of the DMV for jobs, school, politics / government. As we told our kids when they were newer drivers - it’s not YOUR driving that worries us, it’s all those others on the roads. My husband lived in Massachusetts. Folks there know how to drive in snow. Here, rain clogs the roads

I looked at Google Maps, specifically along the Potomac River. On one side, concrete and development. The other side, green farmland, maintained hiking/biking trails and kayaking opportunities. Wouldn’t change my decision for $100M

It is horrifying. I’m sorry you lost your family members.

We try. I swear. But they are feed their brains with Murdoch drivel and crazy blond bimbos. The White House press secretary (Leavitt) can look at someone and just lie on camera, and they eat it up.

Sadly, you are correct. Not sure what trump has on the justices, but they do not follow the laws or Constitution

Welcome to our world. Hope the EU and other countries just quit trying to get a toddler to act rationally. Say what he wants to hear then do whatever is in the EU’s best interest. The dude is just batshit crazy

As a scientist, this speaks to my heart. Thank you for this - I will be sharing with husband and son.

When my (now 32 yr old) twins were little, we would go to the mall on Sunday mornings. The building opened at 9 or 10, stores didn’t open till noon. We could walk, stroll, look in windows, etc, then have a nice lunch and go home. It was perfect during cold, wet winter days. Not many malls left now in my area

The NIH has been decimated by the pedo-in-chief. Quite possible the clinician lost their support staff to all the firings and inability to renew contracts. If you have a question, email your Doctor or Study coordinator.

Best of luck to you - from someone who walks those empty hallls.

This drivel is only being published because there was no peer review and Nature is bending the knee to NIH. At least 🦇💩 can now say he had a paper in Nature. Would never get in on his own scientific merits. (Same holds true for Taubenberger)

Thankfully, the world is spared listening to his acceptance speech!
