Couch 218: Northern Minnesota 2050

Thats gonna rouse some rabble.

Common sense goes out the window, SD. If you thought you had symptoms, you wouldn't turn up at work.

Why would you want them to spend time expanding on an issue if your attitude was "so what?"?

I really wish the unemployment money would come in. It's been like 4 or 5 weeks.

What T said about my parents is bugging me. I think because deep down there's truth in it. I've even said my Mom has been abusive. But it's different when someone else says it. It's like wait, I don't want it to be real.


But my Dad....I don't think that was neglect. That was just business. Business first. Gah! T!!!!

Nothing rouses rabble like the stupidity that can come out of academia

Don't you hate when you get someone a gift and then you gotta wait for them to get it and yet you're excited and nervous, what if they don't like it? What if? What if? Ack! I think I'm just too anxious today for my own good.

Also, can't wait to go home and put on some comfy pants! Work clothes do not agree with me today!

He shared a lot with me in session about how he feels about our relationship. Things that were nice to hear. Also about how it is/was being my therapist when he realizes that he's so important to me, his fears, his mistakes. Those were a little hard to hear, but I appreciate his honesty. I kind of wish I had an audio recording of today's session. This is so ****ing hard. I don't want another therapist.

Hugs NP - Sorry for what you are going through during an already difficult time

Why would someone read a book about a celebrity and then leave a goodreads review which said its not what thye expected and they are sick of reading books where the celebrity name drops and writes about their celebrity lifestyle? Common snse says they should stop reading these books right?

We have an app we must enter our temp and any symptoms in daily. Even if we won’t be on campus.

And, if there is a positive case in a class or on a dorm floor, no one else will be alerted. The sick person will just quietly...disappear.

Are you saying there will be no contact tracing by the university? That doesnt seem right.

We have a similar app that we're expected to complete daily but they will be doing contact tracing here. Or at least attempting it.

It’s a big school.

(They said earlier they would do contact tracing but only if the positive case was within three feet of someone.)

Does anyone have recommendation for a Scrabble like app that doesnt have a restricive dictionary list? I heard the official Scrabble app has gone all candy crush. I have Word Master and it accepts bufo but not quo.

Everything sucks. Why does life gotta be so hard?

I'm the most meaningful therapeutic relationship he's ever had, but he's letting that go so he can prescribe pills to people. Guess it wasn't that meaningful after all.

Words with friends maybe? I used to play with that one...

Hugs, NP. So he's training to be a psychiatrist then? And it doesn't mean the relationship isn't really meaningful to him. Maybe he's just generally burned out on being a T? Though I'm sure I'd have similar feelings to you in the same situation....

We're supposed to be getting an app like that at my work too, even for work at homes, but so far they haven't implemented it. I've heard quite a bit of backlash about it in our team meetings since most of us on my team have been working at home since well before the pandemic started. They haven't said anything about contact tracing though.

No common sense. It’s the same how people watch reality tv and then complain how stupid it is. Don’t watch it!

I think it depends on which part they find fun. Sometimes the complaining about how stupid something is -is the part that people find enjoyable about it. I would not consider it a lack of common sense but rather a different sense of enjoyment from myself. I don't read celebrity books because I have little to no interest in their lives. But I can see reading one and expecting a certain type of story and being disappointed when it is another.

We are about to have another set of storms - the room I am in just turned almost as dark as if it were 9:00 at night

You cant even SEE if theres cake!

We had storms two nights ago that tossed trees around like toothpicks. The park near me looked like a tornado had gone through it
