edenfallingIt turns out that Mr. Geniality has the flu, not Covid. On the one hand, the flu sucks. On the other hand, phew.
I will get my Covid test results back tomorrow or Sunday.

In other news, I wrote and signed a very silly lease today.
To summarize, we had a tenant on a 4-month lease in one apartment. Their lease ended on Wednesday. We asked them, prior to the lease end date, if they'd like to extend the lease for another four months. They said no, moved out, and turned in their keys.
Today they came back and asked to lease that apartment again. Well, the thing is, because we had to do turnover (which costs us time and money), this is now a new lease, not an extension, and the new lease minimum is five months. Also the price has gone up (though I was nice and only kicked it up a little rather than the full increase planned for a completely new lease). So now the tenant has a 5-month lease at a higher rate instead of the 4-month extension at their old rate that they could have had if they'd made this exact same decision on freaking Monday instead of Friday, plus all the logistical hassle of moving out and then moving back in.
*headdesk*
Oh well, at least the building's full now.

In other other news, I am now on the Not the IRS schedule for this coming Tuesday afternoon, which is partially because I have a tax prep appointment with a person who requested me specifically (so Tax Boss put me on the schedule for two hours), but also because Office Grandma was scheduled to close and Tax Boss doesn't really want her in the office alone for health liability reasons, so she extended my hours until closing.
You see, Office Grandma is approaching 90 years old, has some pre-existing health problems, has an established habit of working through illness... and has expressed her firm intent NOT to get a Covid-19 vaccine. ARGH. I have complicated feelings about a bunch of my Not the IRS coworkers due to their political views, but Office Grandma is the one who has dived furthest down the Trumpist rabbit hole, and it's very frustrating to deal with. (Also, I don't want her to die of Covid. I don't want anyone to die of Covid! And she won't take this very simple step to protect herself! I just.... NRGH.)
