Everyone here is just acting like its another normal day and have been since election day. Like sheep who just accept whatever outcome the media tells them. I work in oil and gas in Texas so its not like I am in a blue state or industry. I just cannot fathom how asleep some people are. I am here physically but my mind definitely is not. All I want to do is be at home with my monitors open and searching frantically for news and knowing if it hits the fan that I have everything I need right there. Maybe I should go home just in case. Last thing I want to do is try to drive 45 min if "chaos" does break out today.

For me thats been the last 2 months
Yeah... I can empathize with that. Same here but today specifically is excruciating. Like the Country is on life support and instead of being by its side in the hospital I am at work lol
You can’t do anything from home. In fact, you can’t do anything, period. None of us can. We have to sit back and watch the future of our country unfold.
What you CAN do from home, is be sure you and yours are doing great.
A man can make a difference to himself. Which makes a difference to his wife, family, friends, community, state, nation, and world.
The lowest rung matters. Remember the old German proverb, as summarized by Benjamin Franklin:
"For want of a nail the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost; being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for want of care about a horse-shoe nail."
Wish I could upvote twice, that’s what I’ve been trying to do- be a better spouse, parent, etc.
You’re right...work may be a welcome distraction for a little while today. If I can offer my focus to you and any Patriot, trust God. This is all in his timing, we will not necessarily understand, but he will lead us through. We might not see SHTF today but we will in God’s time.
In a few hours, your work will become a hospital and you have your work cut out. Buckle up buddy!
Bucked up and ready lol...
SAAAME!
Also in Texas. My husband already decided he's calling in sick today. He's still asleep. I've been up all night. I'm too anxious/excited to sleep. I'll sleep when this is over hahaha
I already called in sick the day after the 6th because I stayed up all night looking at the boards :/
Oh darn! Well, since you're already there, maybe you should stick it out.
I don't forsee things getting bad in Texas as a whole. Hubby works in a big city which is the main reason he wanted to opt out.... plus this has been super stressful, so he honestly does feel a little sick about the whole thing. Just the not knowing, you know? He likes to be in control, so this is tough on him.
Yeah... Same here though... I work in the biggest city in Tx so if it gets crazy it could be problematic getting home. I will duck out if it looks like shit is going down lol
That's a good plan lol
Play it by ear haha
I canceled home school today - I can’t even focus on that!
Hey, it's your Boss here! Get back to it!
HAHAHHA my boss isnt that brazen he is pretty cool
Work is work, politics is politics, and ne'er the twain shall meet.
That's my motto. Because when you mix work with government/politics, what you get is communism.
Co-workers are always like, "don't you have an opinion?"
And I respond with, "of COURSE I do. But not at work"
It pisses 'em off because they don't know where I stand.
I throw 'em off too. On purpose. I've worn 'american flag' face masks, a Che Geuvara t-shirt, and even a BLM hat (Bureau of Land Management, not black live's matter). Now, I haven't worn all those at the SAME TIME. Because, then they'd just try to commit me.
Keep em guessing. It's fun and safe.
It's a disaster, let's not get too excited.
Communism is what you get when you mix government with hubris.
NO WAY IM GOING TO WORK TODAY
Smarter than I was lol
You're in the perfect place, if it starts hitting the fan while at work. you can reassure and inform your colleagues of what's going on so they don't panic.
Yeah.. thats true. Its kind of our responsibility. You have a great point
Been 2 or 3 years of that for me. Feels like no one knows we are circling the drain. Makes the loneliness all that more unbearable.
It’s actually better for me. Or else I’d be home smashing that refresh button on my browser for a few hours.
Im already doing that lol. I guess I figure it would be better to take tomorrow off than today... especially if shit hits the fan
Sales of Neosporin and fingertip bandages going to spike!
I should have invested :(
Remember brrother, THE TEXICANS @ THE ALAMO were buying time for folks who needed AWAKENING.
GOD BLE
I understand and can relate.
But it’s out of our hands.
The best we can do is trust in the Lord. By doing that, we are aligning with His will for us.
I work on a Navy base and all video is blocked, as are TGA and TDW.
I'm in solitary!
I text my boss and told her flat out that I would be useless at work today. She knows how I am... It's fine. I've been a theorizing mess for months. I think they expected it.
We aren’t the left. We don’t scream and cry and refuse to go on with life.
We keep working, literally and figuratively. Trump hasn’t stopped. Neither will we.
Im Canadian and having a problem. I don’t see the point in working to pay tax just to be used and abused.
Lol I left work yesterday at 1330 and not sure if I'm gonna make it in today... Cough
I took vacation this week because I knew it would be rough!!! God bless America
No WFH so easy
Feeling it fren. I'm at work, and every single person here is like it's just another day in the week,month, year. ZERO chatter of what's going on or why the Capital of the US is a military fortress. Nobody seems to either know or care. This is is the problem with our country. People are to comfortable and that translates into I don't care what's going on so long as I have gas in my car, food in the fridge, HVAC, and dancing with the stars is on. People will continue to buy made in China garbage and not care.
Tell your work you think you might have the chy-na virus and you need to go home...
My office is so paranoid all I had to do was say I have a sniffle and got permission to work from home instead.
They will quaratine me for 2 weeks ... and force me to go get tested. I think we even have vaccination priority so def not doing that! lol
hmm. ok...how about this. just tell them you're frightened and you have to go home...

or maybe you have the crabs... wait. that could cause even worse problems for you. nevermind. don't listen to me. I give the worst advice. kek.
I have crabs... omg thats epic HAHAHAH
Me: "Hey boss, I've got crabs"
Boss: WTF mate
Me: "Yeah, they're in the fridge, gonna cook 'em and eat 'em tonight with garlic butter"
Boss: GTFO
(My boss is great)
Me too bother. I plan on calling in sick today.
Hey! Texan here, I work in the O&G. Feel exactly the same. Thinking of taking my laptop home just to do just whats needed. Are you in West Texas? Dm to go grab a beer if you are!
Yeah.. I have a call for required training this morning... hopefully it finishes and then I can just tell my boss... I gotta go home and prepare for a storm
I'm same boat as you... Around many that are of same mind, but ASLEEP. Hoping no chaos occurs. I already have a plan if anything goes down. Hoping it is calm and events that we do not see occur.
I booked the day off
I'm a teacher and I'm having a hard time focusing!!
I am in the phones with small businesses. Made some new frens. They are upset too.
Same. We are all going to stop working and watch it. I wish my kid (5yo) stayed home from school today. I left my wife strict orders to go get him immediately if there is a comm blackout.
Just glad to be retired -super easy to stay away from people. I prefer my dogs' company to that of people mostly anyway.
yes for a while now its been hard to focus
Yes! I work from home and cannot tear my eyes away from this site. Have to admit I've been praying for the best and it's been hard to hold onto hope. But the alternative doesn't make sense to me.
