EVERYONE in the office is now working from home. They got 1997 employees out the door with their equipment withing 2 days. Impressive, right? Most of them are back online and working. But now the questions have tripled. First, this is the first week we are using our new computer system. Second, not everyone can connect to the drive where we store our work. So, until they have the necessary drives installed, we all have to pick up the slack.
My stomach is in knots. I’m not so worried about COVID-19. I am a telecommuter introvert who stays in except for church, my writing group, my knitting groiup and my SCCA stuff. But ALL of that has been cancelled too, so the only place I now go is to the grocery store and the pharmacy. So I think I’m good. What is killing me is the overtime. This week was a surprisingly light week, only 52 hours.
I always start my day with coffee. But my tummy isn’t so happy with coffee. I am going to have to start drinking tea with caffeine. I have severla to choose from. Does tea ever bother your stomach?

Stay safe. I wish grocery stores would all get those hand sanitizer stands that hospitals have because everyone has to go to the grocery store at some point. :/
Some tea bothers my stomach, especially tea from India. I can’t drink hardly any tea on an empty stomach. I need to have had food at least within the hour or two preceding the tea. Sometimes I go through spells where there is already irritation and it is worse. But usually I can stick with Chinese tea and do okay.
Tea never bothers my stomach, neither does coffee. The store I work at shut down on Thursday but I didn’t go in all week. Wasn’t taking any chances. I have a 24 hour grocery store here which I’ve only had to go to once so far but I went at midnight so there was only 1 cashier, 1 stockboy and one other customer in the store. I’m an introvert too so I’m used to practicing social distancing!
