Ugh I hate fear mongering! I wish people hadn't sent me the info that the next attack or whatever is planned at the mall near my work. As you guys know, I'm agoraphobic and now I can't get out of bed knowing I might get stuck at work.
Let's be clear....I'm not scared I'll get hurt I'm scared I'll get stuck. And that may happen if a gathering happens or not.

((hugs)) dixee is there any opportunity to work from home today? I know you said you're not scared you'll get hurt, but I think anyone would be apprehensive about going to work in that situation.
Big hugs. I hope you are able to find something that works for you. It sounds like the best option is staying home, if that is not an option I hope you can take the necessary steps to help your fears. Lots of hugs.

Sadly, today is not a telework day for me so I had to come in or use vacation time. I think I'll leave at lunchtime. Our manager came around and said we can leave whenever. I mean, using vacation time, but that was still nice.

I'm so sorry dixee. I went to bed last night around 10 and woke up trying to catch up with the news. I haven't seen the threat you referenced, but stay safe. I wouldn't want to be stuck with all the craziness going on around me, and I would probably leave at linch like you. Could you take your laptop home to avoid taking leave? I'll be thinking about you today!

Our union agreement hasn't really caught up with the rest of society. We can only telework on our scheduled days. Luckily, mine are Wednesday and Friday so I'll be home on Friday when tensions will be highest.

Our department currently uses teleworking as a last resort. I don't have a teleworking agreement in place at all. At least you're ahead of us! I'm glad you'll be home tomorrow and Friday. Hopefully things stay peaceful around you today and you get home quickly and safely.
I wouldn't want to go to work either. I am glad your manager said take a half day. Just be safe. You have an excellent 6th sense and if you feel the need to leave at all, do it. Better to lose out on a day of pay or use a vacation day and stay safe. Xo!
