We're trying hard to get into a routine, but it seems like every day is different enough from the one before it that there's a lot of improvisation going on in our schedule. You?

This year more than ever, I'd like to take a pass on all the hijinks and tomfoolery. Of course, I'm sure more than a brand or two will take a whack at it.

Be sure to get all your paperwork in by the end of the day, you guys.

Finally figured out how to listen to a certain video streaming service's stand-up library on my phone with headphones only, don't have to play video at the same time. Sooo, yeah, I had a productive weekend.

The Padre brings home another fantastic Rewind series today. Fantastic work, sir.

Is it the weekend now? All of my normal sensors are malfunctioning.

Here's a minor dilemma:

I have kind of a dickboss. Won't get into specifics, but one of those types that decides to insert themselves in everything and just makes it all more difficult. Anyway, everyone's WFH right now, but I'm also operating a day care and home school. Work is, well... slow. Slow enough to the point where it probably doesn't look like I'm doing much, though that's because there isn't much to do. There isn't like a communal work pile to draw from, and as I'm basically the only member of my division, I'm kind of compartmentalized from everyone else anyway.

So, the question is this: do I ask said dickboss for more work? Anything I ask/request from them always ends up in some weird place I wasn't expecting at the beginning (and almost always in a negative way). Or, should I just kind of coast/day care/home school for now in the hopes more work will fall down to me and keep my head low otherwise? As the title of this CoC implies, while this is a slow period, I'm not in a rush to ask for more work. Especially with how "much" of it other co-workers manage. That path, however, risks receiving ire from said dickboss.

It's a complicated tapestry...

Withdrawing this very minor complaint.

ubelmann had a very interesting idea for a shortened season (which you can find here). What are your thoughts on that, or do you have your own ideas for a mini-season?

This is a few years old, but I just came across it. Who's your favorite?

I hope a certain chain of membership based commerce hubs is still open during this state of state enforced closures...
