📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. I read the letter from HR. It goes to length about explaining that we have a public health emergency and people need to do their part...................... she also said I have to talk to them through the union. Lawyers will not be acknowledged or responded to. Wow! It might not have made much difference but now I regret listening to the attorney and just threatening with legal action. The notice of liability proof that we have no public health emergency. Notice of liabilities are better. My blood was boiling, I responded quickly, cc'ing the guy in the union (she cc'd him too) that I am not sure I want to communicate to them through the union cause I have doubts that they are here to help us. I also asked her: did I understand you correctly. Are you now telling me I am not allowed to get legal representation. I emailed my manager requesting a sick day off. shut down my computer and cell phone although there is no shortage of people who need my help now. Hi Whit, I just noticed your message. You will be working in France. That's interesting. I love France. I will let you know if I start something online. Thanks Heidi: I hope things work out for you. I live in Spain and am trying to teach myself French for my post retirement gig with American Battle Monuments Commission working in France. I have to be able to communicate to a blue collar crew in their language. I have been using Duolingo and Memrise and watching french series and movies on TV...........If you start some kind of online school I might be interested. Thanks! Whit Whether by general tribulation of a broken world or suffering the wrath of God we can all be subject to weeping and gnashing! The tears of this life are common to all! TR What do you mean weeping and gnashing of teeth TR? Not sure who you are talking about. My colleague was so upset about the other colleague's death that she was crying a lot. she is teaching online now and ended up not being able to control herself and cried in front of her students.
