I think I'm going to drop all my threads and take a straight up break from RP for a month or so. Then maybe try and hop into a game again. I'm extremely busy with work now that the office is back open and I just come home and plop down in exaustion.

the whole half the office doing work from home and half in the office is actually way more work to juggle than everyone being one or the other.

sounds like a good plan, a break often helps a lot anyway and then all the work stuff ugh

I also didn't post here about it but I got really sick a few weeks ago and had to get a covid test (which was negative) and I ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH STRESS BODY, THANKS.

Lauren
ughhh yeah I wonder if you got that weird rhinovirus that seems to be sneaking up on everyone

Lauren
I have a cousin who works in healthcare who mentioned it's really going around here right now, and both my parents got really sick for like two weeks
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/9259306-medium12.gif)
Lauren

i had a really sore throat for a few days and also was concerned it might have been strep and then one day I woke up and it was ... gone.

yeah i heard there's been some gnarly colds, and i'm back in the office breathing that recirculated air. (We're wearing masks but i mean.. we drink water and eat and stuff)

oh yeah, Rose got really sick with an actual cold last week, thank god she had pto to burn. she was out liek three days

it was so nice to not have any colds for a whole year, and then I guess it was like: REMEMBER ME BITCH?
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/8070191-medium8.gif)
King of Games
but it was only for like 4 days and then it just.. went away.

usually i slowly get better, but this was literally I woke up on a wednesday feeling fine
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/9210765-medium6.gif)

that moment when you're like "oh thank god it was just a fucking cold"
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/9259306-medium12.gif)
Lauren
right?
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/9259306-medium12.gif)

the sudden relief that you're just the normal kind of sick
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/8070191-medium8.gif)
King of Games
it was also weird cuz when i got the test i just signed up online thru Kaiser, and I went to the place and there were HUNDREDS of cars there driving thru. ANd I'm sure some of them are just people travelling who need a negative test to fly to Hawaii or something
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/9259306-medium12.gif)
Lauren
oh yeah for sure
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/8070191-medium8.gif)
King of Games
but it was WAY MORE than I expected considering how low cases are here. I bet it's a lot of people with colds concerned about Delta
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/9259306-medium12.gif)
Lauren
yeah gotta be a combo of people willing to fly again and then everyone getting randomly sick
![](https://avatars.plurk.com/8070191-medium8.gif)
King of Games
and my office is a big sample size cuz with all the studios we work with it's hundreds of people, but I have 2 coworkers who've gotten covid who are fully vaxxed.

So i was like: I don't wanna be number three!!!
