Yesterday didn't really feel like a Monday to me...too many things happened at work, including the server going out, so I couldn't do anything that I had planned to do, but I did go through and empty a box of stuff that I needed to go through, so that was good.

I also love both Raising Arizona and Gran Torino as mentioned by MR BK in the notes....and I don't think I have either of them on DVD/Blu Ray.

It might be time to rectify that.  The more I think of them as a nice double feature for the evening, the more I LIKE IT.

Thanks to all for the vibes for my SIL.

She has had a rough time of it.  She did come home yesterday....when my sister and I were there she was taken out for a swallow test.  At that time and woman came in and started to talk to us about palliative and hospice care....

I finally had to say...."I'm just here for a visit - this is unexpected for me....."  It was very hard

We left when she went to bed for a nap...and my brother went up to visit and bring her home later that afternoon.  I think she is probably going into hospice care this week.

I am having very mixed feelings, a lot of what I am reading I certainly would not consider sexual harassment, I have had co workers and bosses touch me and speak to me in a similar fashion it it was never considered to be anything more than friendly informal banter

I’ve seen people ( generally younger people) freaking out because someone touched their lower back when passing behind them in a bar or concert,

When  you’re packed in like sardines and the sound levels are ridiculously loud to be outraged because someone tapped your arm or shoulder , or touched your back in an effort to pass by without getting bumped and spilling their drink seems ridiculous to me.

I haven't read the recent allegations but what I had read didn't seem like a big deal.  If you don't like it and have the option to express yourself then I don't consider it harassment unless the behavior continues.

I mean, "received an unwanted kiss on the cheek from the governor" - They'd have to find 99% of the world guilty of this horrific crime of kissing someone on the cheek at a wedding. There are two reports, I believe, of women saying he touched them on the "buttocks" but I'd have to see those reports in full. But a kiss on the damn cheek?

My feelings about Cuomo are much like Vixmom's. Some people REALLY don't like to be touched AT ALL and consider any touch an assault. Some men I've known have no sense of what is welcome to most women. So many viewpoints! So much confusion over what is acceptable. Cuomo, IMO, is one of the few who showed leadership during the early days of Covid, and I hate to see him fall.

My annual performance review went well. I'm going to keep my job.  :)

Congrats, Singdaw!

DR John how big is your mother's new place?

It’s fairly nice. I don’t know the square feet, but it has a spacious living room, a nice bedroom and a tiny area that isn’t really a kitchen but has space for a microwave, a sink and cabinets plus fridge.

That does sound like a nice little place, John. :)

I'm watching the Olympic opening ceremony that I recorded on my DVR.

They'll be performing (and the teams will be entering) to an empty stadium...but it was designed to be more sedate under the Covid conditions.

I'm also burning some talking book CDs.

Part of my work is returning defective or damaged new material.

Some defective talking books got set aside and forgotten (SPOO!), so instead being able to get no-charge replacements (where available), I just ordered whole new copies.

The cost of the titles were less than my time trying to deal with all this, so my supervisor said to just delete the withdraw copies from the catalog.

Since we pretty much can't get replacements for single discs for talking book sets anyway, the rest of the sets are thrown away.

All the artwork sleeves are recycled and most of the cases can be reused, so it's not a total waste.

However, since most titles only had one or two defective discs, I put holds on other copies and am making copies of the defective discs and will keep the now complete sets for myself.

The copied discs can't legally circulate, so that's why I can't just copy them and put them back in circulation.

But since they were just hoing to be thrown away anyway, there's no problem with me keeping them. :)

Oh.  It's not a completely empty stadium.  People are there, but not many, at all...I think I heard someone say about 6000 are there.

So far, it's a pretty cool ceremony/performance.

Thanks to all for the vibes for my SIL.

She has had a rough time of it.  She did come home yesterday....when my sister and I were there she was taken out for a swallow test.  At that time and woman came in and started to talk to us about palliative and hospice care....

I finally had to say...."I'm just here for a visit - this is unexpected for me....."  It was very hard

We left when she went to bed for a nap...and my brother went up to visit and bring her home later that afternoon.  I think she is probably going into hospice care this week.


Jack, prayers and condolences to your sister-Ian-law,  and to both families.

Umm...the CDs were all just going to be thrown away, so it really doesn't matter. ::)

I think, temperature-wise, we only got up to the lower eighties, but it has been really humid.
