Needless to say, that time came and went, and eventually HQ gives us notice that we'll be rolling out a work-at-home program in the wake of the restrictions and requirements of our states in regards to viral health. Thanks WHO. So, we finally get our shit, go home and set up. That was two years ago. A week ago, I got an email from on high, long and short of it was “hey, did your boss talk to you about this list we have of people? Y'all have slow internet, and it's mucking up the business, and the…

His reason ? “He didn't want to have to write an injury report for such a minor cut ” FUCK THAT, I knew I was fine I just wanted to make sure it would not get infected since I was on trash duty
